How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Azir is strongest late game while Mel peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.

Mel's main weakness: Assassins, hard engage, immobile. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Azir Win Condition
Soldier DPS, Shurima Shuffle engage, scale
