Hello!
The problem is, most of the times I die 80% to jungle ganks,
and like 40% because my E (the dash) on Azir gets bodyblocked in teamfights, skirmishes, in lane or any time basically
With all other mages I have a way safer time
Most mages have cc on their basic abilities or other control/disrupt abilities that they can use for self peel (like Anivia Q and W, Syndra E, Veigar cage, Viktor cage, Vex fear etc etc) and they can also use them in a WAY more reliable and easier way while Azir needs to use a whole combo to escape, if he fucks up he is roasted. My biggest problem is that his E can get bodyblocked, so every jungler or enemy midlaner who has a dash or similar can just bodyblock Azir even from out of vision jumping at him or gapclosing at him and making him unable to escape (For example Warwick ult -> Q when Azir ults, disables all of his escapes basically) So you basically need to find an open spot where U can dash back to the tower. Most champions with dashes can also react to Azirs soldier placement since it takes 1.5 sec early game and 1 sec late game to spawn, to body block Azirs dash from that direction since he can only dash to Soldiers. A lot of time even toplaners with no dash like Darius can body block it by flash/ghost-E making it unable to escape or need to burn ult
So my question is, how to work on that and improve it that Azirs dash doesnt get body blocked? Often the enemy will know this and will wiggle around to position right in front of my soldiers or into my hitbox so I cant dash away
Azir also has very bad base movement speed and no movement speed buff abilities, so other ways to escape are off other than burning ult or flashing and even that often doesnt work (ult is slow af, buggy and can get dashed/flashed over before it hits)
