Azir vs Anivia Matchup Summary

The Azir vs Anivia matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Anivia wins with a 52.4% win rate compared to Azir's 47.6%, giving Anivia a 4.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Anivia controls the early laning stage, but Azir outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Anivia needs to press advantages before Azir reaches their power spikes, while Azir should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Anivia leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Anivia is slightly favored, Azir can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Anivia's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Anivia dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 58.3% win rate — a 16.7 percentage point lead over Azir. This lopsided early game means Anivia can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Azir is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 55.6% win rate — 11.1 points above Anivia. Extended games heavily favor Azir, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Anivia must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Azir reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Azir survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
