Hwei vs Azir Matchup Summary

The Hwei vs Azir matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Hwei wins with a 65.5% win rate compared to Azir's 34.5%, giving Hwei a 31.0 percentage point advantage. Hwei 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 Hwei leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Hwei players can confidently pick into Azir and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Azir away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
