Comp▸Rammus Azir

Tips

Sacrifice either Teemo or Soraka to Blackthorn hex. 3-star Teemo is slightly more stats than 2-star Soraka, but is more expensive so often it is better to just go for 2-star Soraka on Level 7 rather than 3-star Teemo. Sacrifice 2-star Teemo over 1-star Soraka. Can drop Teemo for Gnar since you can always sacrifice Soraka to the Blackthorn hex. Do not sacrifice Gnar. Late-game (Stage 5+) you will ideally want Fiddlesticks 3 in addition to Rammus to hold down the frontline. There isn't much to level for on 8, so staying Level 7 for hitting Fiddle is reasonable if you are close. Level 8 add an Executioner, Sentinel, Lillia, Yorick, or a random 5-cost like Ivern. Rageblade on Azir is a good item, but not necessary. Sacrificing an AP unit like Teemo to Blackthorn gives Mana Regen, meaning he will cast even without Rageblade, but often the item is still solid for a tempo slam. Prioritize other Rod items over it though. One strong reason to play this over the Vi Blossom version is it fits better on Level 7. The other version struggles to play Zyra on Level 7, so if you have a surplus of items, generally consider this line over Vi + Azir
