Would a hybrid AP/attackspeed (teemo style) build be viable on Varus perhaps? I could see it working wonders on his 3 autos - E/Q - 3 autos - R - 3 autos - Q/E combo... thats 45% magic damage right there + the damage from abilities and AA.

Basically getting loads of mpen, CDR and attack speed to maximize W damage with added AP to buff up the other abilities.
I could see this working if his cooldowns are not horrible.


I messed around with something similar on the PBE. I don't know how viable it is because I'm not sure how you would progress through the build under normal circumstances. However, when you have Rageblade + Gunblade + Lich Bane + Deathcap + Void + Zerker's you can absolutely melt everything. The burst from three auto attacks + his ult is stupidly high.


AP (hybrid?) varus sounds super fun. Maybe go sheen first, then build big-ticket AP items? Sounds like it would synergize well with his "detonate on ability use" mechanic.

Just played with a varus/taric lane where varus went 2 dblades zerkers + rageblade. They were vs Graves Nunu


He bought Occult after cause he dominated his lane so hard.

varus is pretty sick (played against him 3 games)

his damage output against tanks is kinda vayne-ish but he has a lot more utility in his other skills

Sheen early seems bad since Varus isn't spammy and doesn't have an ability which applies the effect. Rageblade seems better since Varus scales really well with all of its stats. Not sure what I'd follow up with (Gunblade? Cap?).

So far I can tell that Varus is pretty beast in lane, especially when combined with an aggressive support (Taric / Leona, hell even Lux could work IMO).

However, his lategame is pretty meh. He lacks mobility and is even more helpless than Ashe / Kog when someone sits in his face.

I wouldn't be surprised if you can build Varus tanky and still deal loads of damage. Don't default to the ranged AD type builds yet, experiment. AD, AP, CDR, squishy, tanky, anything.
I personally like having a new champ that isn't 100% locked into a single build. The majority of the recent additions had most of their relevant ratios tailored to the intended build paths...
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Playing draft when you want to try a specific champion seems like a really dumb thing to do to me o_o

Actually hitting Q is kinda like hitting ashe arrow xD. and movability wise he's better compared to ashe than corki as well.
So. Just try him.

I've played him 2 times, normal and ranked, had some fun.

haha :p
i prefer blind because i dont like a 5 minute champ select... but if you really want to play varus that bad why don't you suck it up, round up some friends, and q up for blind pick! that's what i find best for trying new champs, if i do draft mode then it takes me several tries before i am able to play what i want.
