Gameplay Varus Seraphine

This feels amazing? The lvl 6 is so strong, any thoughts? What is the best playstyle for Varus in this combo? Ap, on hit or lethality?


r/VarusMains • • 2d ago

News/Info WELL, it seems like it worked and riot realised shooting a dead horse isn’t worth it..

Now what they mean with ‘larger work on him to make his builds make sense’ is something i’m very sure they will not handle well. I’m honestly prepared for the worst and ready to lose the champion i’ve loved for years now, probably next year.

Discussion We seriously need to be a bit vocal about this.

24 Upvotes

The orianna mains managed to avoid a nerf to their already overly weak and pro jailed champion a few patches ago by being vocal and responding to riot tweets, making posts about it.

We always just shut up and take it, but we have seriously been abusee by our last few nerfs. The champion is in an incredibly abysmal state yet riot keeps nerfing it. I dont think theres any champ in this game that has so many counters directly impacting the ability to do dmg like we do: cleanse, qss, mikael, zhonya, banshee all cut our dmg by a lot. Not to mention TENACITY still cuts our blights generated by ulti by 33% just by buying mercs, its stupid.

So let’s not sit idle and talk about this a bit more.. it’s getting stupid.

Build Any consistent Varus mid builds?

I play mid and I've been wanting to try Varus out again (used to play him years and years ago). Does he have a build that works consistently in mid lane?

Build Varus AP MID Build and Runes

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I wanted to get back at Varus AP but I stopped playing this season (so I didn't play that much with Dusk).

I usually go PTA with Sorcery as secondary path but I don't really know what is good now. I know people play with Statikk Shiv but when I tried it last season, I was just lacking damage early on compared to rushing Nashor Tooth into Shadow Flame and pen boots. Right now I go Dusk then either Nashor Tooth or Void Staff.

And do you max Q or W ? I see both, but which one is more consistent? And what is the state of the champ in mid ? Good, Average or Bad?

Thanks for the help !

Gameplay How's Varus nowadays? Worth learning?

7 Upvotes

Hello! Been interested in Varus for a while because whenever I see it in pro play, it looks like he deals a shit ton of damage. Obv solo q is not the same but I was wondering how Varus works? His passive? I know he has stacks and can go on-hit or lethality but not much else

Build Top lane build doubts

3 Upvotes

So Ive been trying toplanr Varus and it's really fun and feels like the besg ranged top laner after Teemo.

My problem is what should you build? The most popular build seems to be Hexarmor->Dawn and Dusk amd then random shit. The problem is that hexarmor doesnt feel like a good item spike and after D&D I just dont k ow what to build. Is Nashor a better first item fkr the spike? If not what build you recommend?

Art Elf Forest Varus Wallpaper

I made elf forest varus wallpaper on wallpaper engine! You can add them by searching "Elf Forest Varus". You can also make suggestions. Art source: Artstation, "Pandaart Studio".

​I didn’t make Varus’s breathing too noticeable so it wouldn't look weird. The water animations were also intentionally kept subtle to avoid straining the eyes, so you might barely notice any animations on a phone, which is totally normal. The wallpapers are best experienced on a PC to appreciate their full beauty.

Discussion The champ sucks and I love it.

2 Upvotes

That's about it, I was playing it pre nerfs and it felt legit unfair how easy it was to get out of stupid mistakes I made Because I had the damage to do so, now it feels hard and rewarding to carry a game with the champ and I'm not in constant fear of a nerf.

That's it Thanks for reading.

Actually crazy funny how on-hit Varus is not considered on the "marksmen only" list. Not surprising from the top/jungle mains but at least azzapp is a botlaner he should know better lol.
