Discussion Elf skin made me pick up the game and him. Any tips?
Usually play support but started playing him yesterday. Been having a lot of fun. I’m returning to the game so I’m going off top builds right now.
Did some research 🧐 and I’ve been doing pretty well. Except against ranged and mobility 😩
Just came to see if anyone had any other advice

Discussion My Stupid Varus Rework Idea
Hi, obviously everyone plays Varus in different ways, (which is kinda like his whole thing) so this probably sounds horrible to most of you. Im just looking for someone who also wants an actual "Set Up" Archer sort of kit I guess
Varus
P) The Darkin Bow:: On-Hit Applies a stack of Blight. Blight stacks up to 10 times, and each stack applies a 1%MissingHealth Physical Damage Bleed () and a 3(+AS)% Slow, both of which only take effect if the enemy is moving away from Varus. The first stack of Blight lasts for 2 seconds, and each subsequent stack adds a half second to that timer, for a maximum of 7 seconds. (Nasus's wither lasts 5 for reference) If the enemy is either standing still or moving towards Varus, they will not be slowed or take bleed damage.
Q) Piercing Arrow: Less damage overall in exchange for longer range and significant missing health damage(%AS). The projectile also "detonates" on hit, meaning multiple targets cannot be hit. Champions Below 50% health are slowed by 99% for .5 seconds and Revealed for 1s. Applies a stack of Blighted Quiver.
W) Hunter's Snare: Varus fires a projectile with 600 range. If the projectile connects with a wall, it attatches and creates a trap with a small radius. Upon activation enemy champions within the radius are snared and revealed. If the projectile connects with a champion or minion it slows and does a very small amount of damage.
Snares last on terrain indefinitely
Up to Three Snares can be active at a time.
Snares can be "detected" by Oracles/Pink Wards and killed in two autos
E) Hail of Arrows: Slow% Decreased, now Grounds
R) Final Stand: Varus Reveals a cone shaped area in front of him 1350 units in length. On press, Varus also Roots and Silences Himself and gains 575 Bonus Auto Attack Range and (AS%) Omnivamp for 5 seconds. The root and silence are complete (unlike rumble, who can still use summoner spells during his "Overheat"), and cannot be cleansed or absorbed by spell shield.

Build New Varus player here, can you pivot to other than on hit effectively?
Aphelios and Zeri main here reallllly liking Varus so far. I never feel out of the game really, but sometimes I’m slightly ahead while the rest of my team is getting crushed. The kind of situation where you’ll just have your lead slip away and lose your power spikes of on hit to crit scaling. If I need to play hypercarry late is pivoting to crit or full AP burst possible after the Shiv? U.gg doesn’t say anything other than on hit or lethality. Especially given shiv is split and a good farming item I’d assume its good for remaining flexible.

Build Energized build + JOAT
Hey guys I’m an emerald adc player and new to varus but been playing him the last two weeks and loving him. I’ve searched a up the meta builds and trained some random stuff on a target dummy and found an interesting combo. I run lethal tempo with JOAT, static shiv, cyclosword then the last 4 are crit items stormrazor/lord doms/infinity edge and whatever last. With helm start JOAT triggers at 2 items and the energised procs on Q makes poke close to lethality level and the dps is close to on-hit once the crit is online.
Goofy build and I only run it in games where I don’t need the survivability but feels like a nice medium that has good dps and poke. Just looking for other people’s opinions and builds. If anybody is interested can share your build and I’ll compare in the practice tool and share the test dummy numbers.

Build Has someone tried pure atkspeed build?
Like
Rageblade, omni boots, yuntal, fiend Hunter bolts, hexplate, Terminus, Jak sho.
With lethal Tempo.
Effects of fiendhunter and hexplate Help with getting the First kill, then passiv Kicks in and enables even Higher DPS through ad and ap, both feeding in W in Hit scaling.
Hexplate, Terminus and jaksho provide tankiness, boots give sustain.
They nerfed ad and ap ratios, butt buffed passive atkspeed Ratio.
Thoughts?
r/VarusMains • u/Correct_Ferret2381 • 24d ago
Build Lethality build feels the same??
Been running hubris muramana bastionbreaker and still feels the same to me b4 the nerfs I don’t notice a difference anyone else experiencing similar situation
