731Tahm Kench
Azir heavily out-damages Tahm Kench by 250 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Tahm Kench should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Azir's sustained damage advantage take over.
