Advice to Understand How Azir Will Play
Be a bird!
In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.
Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.
Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Azir. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This could indicate that Azir does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Azir on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Azir.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Azir on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Azir does a decent job of covering Shen in teamfights.

Azir has a much greater difficulty compared to Shen. That means Shen players should be cautious when arranging Azir comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to fight well with you.
When playing on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champs should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Although, by aligning Shen and Azir together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to have other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their potential.
Regardless of the skill of your Azir teammate, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
