Worst case it's like AP Ezreal, awesome lategame but no clear path to get there. All I know is the burst from 3*Auto+Ult is hilarious with a full build.

I actually think Varus is kind of shitty in lane phase. That or I'm just playing with people who are bad. As any AD I've played against him I've won lane pretty convincingly. I think the only way he can win out is to use his Q to harass enough but I find his Q really easy to predict if he charges it up and if he just insta-fires it I can often just take the hit and then retaliate myself.

I'm facepalming obsing a number of people eat a very predictable Q fully charged in front of them (when a smart Varus does it from a bush, 'k, but right on front of you?).

I'm sighing reading a guy say "he's doing so much more damage than Corki's burst early game!".
Yeah. And next time he talks I'll read "his level 2 burst is so superior to Tristana's!".


Corki's burst early isn't that significant anyways. It's his post-6 burst that's scary.

I don't think Varus is bad or anything I just dunno how many lanes he has bottom that he can 'win' because his dps is really shitty and I don't think his burst is all that great. Granted, neither of these things prevents Ashe from doing fine in lane but Ashe also has a lot more utility.

edit:
Varus is still really new. So I'm not trying to make too many judgements on him. I think he's definitely viable. Just first hand experience has been me winning lanes that aren't even close against Varus. Could just be people not used to Varus yet or I could just be laning against people who are bad that I would beat regardless of which AD they pick.

Vayne is hard to position because she has nothing with >550 range.

Varus' autoattack range is 575, and all of his spells have significantly longer range than that.

Also note that Varus has 310 base MS, which is more than pretty much every other AD carry.

Played quite a bit of varus in draft mode recently...
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

conveniently left out my 2-7 game but i was tired! anywhoo.... he's pretty dang strong and fighting with someone like leona on his side. once you reach 6 with leona you can engage very often and possibly get a kill. He's actually really good at csing even with his really low base ad because of W and his passive. I like him :D

And when I hear "But Varus is HUGE lategame"... you mean, when everybody's got MR to reduce the bonus damage from Blight Quiver and the %hp damage from Blight Detonation, but you didn't buy any MPen? Or when in teamfights you won't be able to apply it to everyone before a E?
It's basic stuff, like the "yeah I can't tank nashor with wriggles phage as MF, even with W on, but I saw a Varus do it, Varus OP", sure, but you never think about the context instead, considering the lack of steroids on the one that succeeded? Knee jerk people...

Btw, has anyone tried Varus jungle yet? Can it work? I'm dying for an ranged AD champion that can jungle decently. I know Snoopeh used to jungle Vayne a bit but that wasn't really comparable to the average jungler.

Vayne, Graves, and MF are all "sufficient" junglers in that they can clear somewhat quickly. MF and Vayne even have decent ganks. If you get counterjungled as any of them, you're straight boned. And you can't duel til later (except as MF for the first couple levels). Also, Kayle, lol.
would you ever miss it?

If he's using only his spells, that's pretty sub-optimal damage. 25 range isn't that big a deal when you consider the only thing he has defensively is a weak slow.

Vayne at least has Tumble, Varus has nothing that repositions him/acts an escape. Once he's caught, he's caught. Also note that unlike Rageblade or Nashor's, PD gives movespeed, meaning Vayne would be faster after Zeal. I'm just arguing as to why a traditional AD carry build would be better than a Hybrid/AS build. Context is relevant.

But I saw Varus go 12/0 one game and kill everyone so clearly the character is hugely OP and is gonna do that every single game!

0K. I should have tried Jax top instead of jungle. I was afraid of his lack of sustain but he trucks hard enough in trades to make up for it and squishies just explode under him. o_o

Why wouldn't you buy MPen when you're focusing on magic damage? o.O

Or are you talking about AD Varus?

Yes, I was talking about AD Varus—at least, these people were talking about that variant.

Ignoring the sarcasm, lucky you, every varus in my game is batshit retarded, it's not the champ it's the player lol. It's like he attracts retards or something. My team has varus, carry big or lose. Enemy team has varus, lol free win.

No one here is suggesting that, unless I missed something from the previous page.
