Azir vs Annie Matchup Summary

The Azir vs Annie matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Annie wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Azir's 36.4%, giving Annie a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Annie dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Azir players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Annie leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Annie has a strong advantage in this matchup. Azir players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Annie overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
