Here is what we know about this new Champion:

“Azir is a mage who summons Shuriman soldiers to control the battlefield and basic attackfor him. The soldier’s piercing basic attacks furnish most of Azir’s damage potential, making him an outlier amongst mages as a right-click-focused champion. Azir’s spells, on the other hand, manipulate his and his soldiers’ positions to keep him safe and establish dangerous no-go zones for his enemies.”
