Tips Against Varus in Adc Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
mydesires says “Dodging is the key to win since all of his skills are projectile. Make sure you take Cleanse spell with you or let your support build Mikael's Blessing to cleanse his ult. // TH : ????????????????????? ??????? Cleanse ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”
0
Paramo_ says “Even if you dodge all his W passive stacks, his arrow still have a high damage. Go cleanse + Ghost to cleanse his ultimate and chase him. Don't trade early and wait till your ultimate ”
0
Puppitteer says “Actually a lot more annoying than youd expect, he's flexible, has 3 builds so runes are difficult, but just take fleet and hope to catch him off guard with a wall E”
0
LustAndSpite says “Varus is a strong auto attacker no matter what he builds and he has no built-in cleanses, so he's technically not a big threat.
However, he has good poke and his ult is deadly. Pure Skill Matchup.”

the hood says “A good Varus will cause u troubles. You have to respect his range and not let him push you in. Avoid getting poked and look for All ins. This matchup gets harder or easier depending on the support matchup.”
0
support_diff says “Don't get me wrong, Varus is a great adc but he just can't do much against you as you have your E. With it you can dodge his ult very easily. You also outfarm him early. Wait for your chance and when that chance comes, do a fast trade for a safe win and control over lane”
0
DreamOfValhalla says “You must take Cleanse against him, since if you get hit by his R you are done. Varus can see where your axes are dropping so he will spam his abilities on those marks. You can all in him when he has abilkities like R or Q on CD
”
0
DreamOfValhalla says “He has more range than you and deal a lot of damage in early game. If you have an enchanter support that can block his damage you are good. Also try to poke with your green in early stages of game when abilities are on CD”
0
Sivir BelfoRoxo says “Playing against Varus requires attention only at his level 6, but you can safely counter this with his E skill, avoid taking his arrows as you have a safe laning phase.”
0
Doody_tco says “Do not give him kills and let him scale. Otherwise he will end up one-shotting your team”
0
Reptile9LoL says “Varus matchup isnt easy, but you can avoid all of his spells with your Q.
If Varus oversteps once while having Cd on Q E or R you're winning the all-in. Try and bait out his spells, if he misses/has no blight stacks theyre very high cooldown and you have good trade/kill windows after.”
0
CiorbaHater says “Varus is very hard to beat at 1vs1 in early so wait for cs and cs safe”
0
LOVEE says “Another difficult champion to face against since your goal of this build is to all in often with E or package. However, varus does a great deal in preventing all in using his R. If he builds ap even a lot scarier. I would recommend taking cleanse in this champion otherwise be careful. Besides that, usually the lane should go well.”
0
Aronnn says “He is annoying, but not anything special. You can deny half of his damage just by blocking his q.”

afrente do tempo says “dodge or ban.
rush bork and sit in your tower. ping often for your jungler help you”
0
LuvEmoGirls says “Varus is really annoying, has a lot of range and can oneshot if he goes lethality or ap build, but you win early so punish his early game.”
0
DROBENMAIN says “Poke matchup, if he overextends you can pretty much go on his for free unless he has ult”
0
Hidden Ghoster says “Avoid Poke Damage at all costs. Long Sword start is situational here, depending on support matchup. Varus will start E level 1 every single game, don't underistimate it's range. Level(s) 2-3, assume he's going to use his range, be prepared for him to use his ult once he's 6 as he will look for an all in. ”
0
LoLEnryu says “Poke Varus is 50-50 matchup
On-hit Varus is 80-20 matchup favored for Nilah
If Varus is going poke, he can just stand back and Q until you cannot walk up to farm minions and have to play for EXP. Depending on the support matchup, the laning phase can be very rough. Take resolve secondary + Doran's shield and just try to survive lane.
If varus is going on-hit, the matchup is very simple, he won't be able to poke you out and you can always fight him / short trade by going in for poke then using W + E to get out of his auto range. Always try to play with support to burn his flash before using ultimate.
Doesn't matter which type of Varus it is, always take cleanse + flash.”

Jhin and Tonic says “Against AP varus you will need to dodge his q at all costs if he's put 3 stacks on you. AD varus is pretty weak right now so you should probably be fine against him.”

VrNtv says “You outscale him hard, always take cleanse and cleanse his ult. Try to poke him down, after lvl 6 he might try to all in you.
”
0
VrNtv says “Varus isn't too bad as long as you watch for his poke with Piercing Arrow. He'll try to throw down his E on top of you when you walk up for CS, so just be weary here and try not to take too much damage.”

NickLeVlach says “Varus isn't strong against Ezreal if he doesn't get you, with his R, or hits you 3 times to activate his passive. Also, be careful Varus E, which makes antiheal and slow.”

RandomNPC777 says “His poke is good, and his ulti is annoying, but Twitch preys on immobile adcs, He loses hard in all-ins.”

SheriffADC says “It's a bit like Jhin, he has better laning tools and longer range so the earlygame can be hard, lacks mobility so all-ins are easy, block his ult if you can.”

Elmendin says “Varus is annoying because his range and you need to run cleanse into him. He is pretty immobile so you can all in him when hes out of position.”

Santoryo says “Varus is alright as long as you watchout for poke with Piercing Arrow, he will also try poking with E.”

ChadKarthus says “Comet Poke Varus is very annoying to play against, however you can definitely kill him in lane, if you are good you can bait out his ult too
If he goes AP you are hardcountered”

Kiteeider says “LT tempo varus just outscales you and wins lane because w and q poke
Try to win after getting q evo
Take DB”

moso says “You just cannot match his DPS and superior poke with his E. You pretty much don't want to be forced to fight him head on, but the lane is not unplayable.”
1
slendoooo says “Varus wins long trades, and can follow up with 1 of his abilities after short trades, always look to dodge his Q or E after you trade 1-2 autos with him.
The real problem with Varus is after he is level 6, his ultimate is not a stun, it's a root, so you will be able to auto attack him and use abilities, the problem is that Draven has 550 range and varus 575, so even if you try to auto him once he will ult you, you will never be able to because of the range.
After 6 look for fake engages so he waste his R ability and repeat doing short trades till he's dead.

Corpselover says “You can block his Q, E, and R. You can kill him at level 2 or 3, if he ults you then block his Q and if you see his ult coming just block that.”

Banana Pirate says “Not hard at all. Super squishy. Rush him with your sup and you should almost win every time (the only time you lose against this champ is when you have a horrible sup and he has an good sup). Definitely buy Galeforce. ”

LionelOCE says “Varus can be frustrating post 6 because he has a lot of kill threat with his ult. However, you do outrange him (600 to 575 not including lethal tempo) and can run him down in the long lane.”

KnobHobbler says “Like you but more pokey.
Dodge Q and you will be fine.
Dodge R or you're dead.
Keep wave pushed.
You should win 1v1 if he misses R.
If you cant dodge Q, take sustain runes.”
1
franksterzz says “Varus isn't even a champion at the moment. That being said, he can poke you out so try to dodge his Qs as much as possible. Take extra care when he's 6 because his ult is a crazy gank setup and can lead to some insane damage if he plays around his W passive properly.”
0
NotAragami says “He pokes a lot, albeit not as annoying as our lovely sheriff woman as his most reliable CC is locked behind Lv6. Dodging his Q is crucial as it deals a lot of damage when fully charged. Some Varus players build Lethality and just spam Q while pretending to be GorillA. ”

UwUSoftGirl says “[Poke/Short Trades] You need to avoid his (Q), especially if he has stacks on you. You can trade with him if he's stunned so he won't be able to fight back. Call your jungler.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Post 6, avoid overextending when you’re defenceless. Varus’ Ultimate Chain of Corruption(R) can be used to catch you out of position and start a fight. Play safer whenever his Ultimate is up. Avoid standing inside the minion wave. This will allow Varus to poke and push the wave at the same time. Standing outside of the minion wave will force him to choose between shoving and poking with his Piercing Arrow(Q). Varus will try his hardest to poke you out of lane. Try your hardest of dodge as much damage and abilities as possible.”

Kronaa says “It's the same concept as Xayah, main damage is coming from his Q, and you can't block that with W, his R is a horse tranq and you will sit there like a fish about to be flushed down the toilet as he stacks his W through your W, then Q your asshole open, also e antihealing and slow sucks”

Kamicali says “If you are affected by Blight, Varus' abilities will deal extra damage to you. When he gets a kill or assist, Varus temporarily gains Attack Speed and is much more dangerous. You'll get bound in place if a tendril from Varus' ultimate, Chain of Corruption, reaches you. You can cause the tendril to die by running far enough away from it. He's less of a problem in relation to bigger threats like twitch and caitlyn.”

Dazlirn says “Varus can either be a very hard match up or just overall difficult match up for Draven.
You definitely would want to take Cleanse as his ult is not the easiest to dodge and could hit you from your support too.
If the Varus is really good at landing his Qs, depending on the supports it could be hard to lane against him.”

IKeepItTaco says “â—‰ Varus is rarely seen currently, but when he is seen he is usually going some type of lethality build so they tend to play for early-mid game. He’s a poke and utility ADC atm.
◉ Varus is actually very simple to understand in lane because he’ll mostly just be trying to poke you with his [[Piercing Arrow]]s and occasionally using [[Hail of Arrows]] to set up his Q to land better onto you.
â—‰ His Q [[Piercing Arrow]] has an interaction with the active of his W [[Blighted Quiver]] which means Q [[Piercing Arrow]] will do more damage based on your missing health. So, if you get low expect it to one shot you so watch out and don't underestimate the damage!
â—‰ Do your best to dodge his abilities and stay healthy. Focus on farming and keeping your HP up!
◉ Take [[Cleanse]] as it’s the ultimate counter to his ultimate [[Chain of Corruption]] which is an engage tool that he will use on you alot starting from the laning phase till the end of the game. If you take [[Cleanse]] then you can remove it instantly and continue about your day and perhaps even kill him after!
◉ Win Condition: Stay healthy in lane and focus on scaling. Take [[Cleanse]] to counter his ultimate for the rest of the game. Don’t give him early leads and he will become useless.

Urason says “Varus is annoying to deal with but if you can survive his harass, he's extremely vulnerable to you. That being said, the issue with this match up is that YOU as the Samira need to try extra hard to win it (block his ult, trade well, dodge harass). ”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Varus has really good poke so you have to watch out for his Q's and not lose too much HP in lane. ”
0
LostFishEU says “Why I put Varus as a major is simply the ultimate. His ultimate makes it really easy for his support to follow up with a bind / root / hook. Varus ultimate also roots you as Vayne from using tumble and using you ultimate invisibility, which makes it that you will lose out on a lot of damage. Pre-Level 6 Varus doesn't have too much. Varus has his Q and E that could chunk you low but you also have your tumble to dodge them.”

A_Drunk_Carry says “Another poke champ, but you're just better tbh. His Q is very telegraphed, and unless you're in point blank range you should be able to Arcane Shift out of his ult. ”

ELOSANTA says “A good Lucian player shouldn't lose this match. All of Varus's abilities can be dodged using Lucian's dash. If the Lucian player is experienced he should win, now this match is not impossible for Varus to win the matchup because he could time his skills after Lucian uses his E so as Lucian you have to know when to use your E. Lucian's E is 18 second cool down at level 1 and Varus' arrow is 16 seconds so if you use it to dodge something be aware that his arrow comes off cool down first. Varus' E is also another thing Lucian can outplay with his E, at level 1 Varus' E is a 18 second cool down which is equal to Lucian's dash. Unless Varus is engaging pre level 6 if he is just using it to poke it's not worth a dash because Varus can follow with a Q while you're running away.

Coldsong says “Varus is easy but very annoying to deal with for Samira. Make sure to save your W for his ult when it is up, and try to dodge his Q instead as if he lands his root, you are most likely dead. However, if you can dodge Varus' Q and W his ult the matchup is not that bad and you can still easily win.”

Vapora Dark says “Varus is a problem for Jhin, the range on his autos makes him a pain to out trade pre 6 and post 6 he can hardcore CC you, and with a lack of mobility its hard to dodge, causing you to be unable to attack back because of his auto range and lose the fight thanks to his Q/W burst. Focus on farming early and let your support/jungle create the pick, which thankfully is pretty easy to do due to his lack of any form of mobility. Not even a movement speed steroid.”

NikkiTT says “Just be cautious of the R CC, going Tenacity Rune against him is fine. Other than that hard engage post 6 is free.”

Amberdragon says “Threat level depends on how he is doing in the meta.
He works similarly to Caitlyn, but not as bad just because Varus is worse and less popular. Expect to get poked hard. Don't stay in lane with low health or he will snipe you. Use your ultimate to dodge his and all in him before he bursts you. Consider taking Cleanse especially if his team has more cc, his ultimate has a much lower cooldown than yours so you will not always be able to dodge it without summoner spells or Galeforce.”

HyroPyro says “The Varus lane focuses on poking you down with Piercing Arrow (Q) and Hail of Arrows (E) . This means that his all in's are not as strong.

im_zeno says “Can start wind wall to deny his cs if you want to be a dickhead, it's best not to do it though since you're gonna struggle csing under tower. He’s another non-mobility adc so getting in range with him shouldn’t be hard, play safe till lvl 2-3 depending on your support.

ooftheiii says “Keep in mind he needs to charge his ability. Punish him if he is a bad position. Avoid standing inside the minion wave. This will allow Varus to poke and push the wave at the same time. Standing outside of the minion wave will force him to choose between shoving and poking with his Q. Picking off Varus before a team fight is highly effective. Bursting him is one of the best ways to do so as he is rather squishy and immobile due to the lack of a dash or escape ability.”

ctm20141 says “His lv 1 is pretty strong; he has good auto range, good all in potential with Lethal Tempo and good poke with his Q.
His lv 2 is deadly if he can AA-AA-AA-EMPOWERED Q.
His lv 3 is almost equally deadly, but it's bit weaker than his lv 2 power spike.
He can follow up his support DISGUSTINGLY WELL once he hits lv 6: if you get hit by any CC he will follow up with his ult and it's pretty much uncounterable. Oh, and if you get hit by his ult you are 100% dead :D.
Once you get Quicksilver Sash you outcale him in 1v1s.
On hit/crit varus is pretty strong in late game teamfights once he gets his reset, but you outscale him regardless :D.”

jhoijhoi says “ Varus' ultimate, Chain of Corruption is a fantastic initiation, similar to Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow. If you or your ally is hit by it, ensure you don't stick together, move in separate directions. Hail of Arrows is similar to Kog's slime trail, or MF's round of bullets - they're more often used for utility, as in slowing an enemy champion from fleeing or chasing, rather than for damage. Watch out for Piercing Arrow, like Cait's Piltover Peacemaker, you have fair warning when Varus will attempt to snipe you with this, as he will often try to increase its range and damage by drawing it out.”

Archibold2 says “With the new changes to Varus' kit, he's become more dominant to poke from a difference and build lethality.

DddyAwsmSauce says “He has lots of pokes but they're all dodge-able; try your best to dodge them. You'll take more damage the more stacks of Blighted Quiver you take.

xSEASeahawks12 says “This is arguably the most skill-based match up out there. If you can effectively predict when Varus is going to release his Q and hop accordingly, you can avoid most of his damage. However, if he lands this, it's absolutely massive chunk damage that is nearly impossible to come back from. Buy a Doran's Shield every time and play very safe to avoid his insane poke. Before he hits level 6, you have to hope that your support can get on top of him, as his low mobility can let you stick onto him until he dies or Flashes. Unfortunately, after level 6, if he lands his ult you are dead. Always play behind your support, as even being behind you minion wave isn't enough to block his tendrils of death. If he's going Lethality, then just remember that you out scale him and pretty much punt on dreams of first blood or general laning success.”

Zoodyacc says “Beware of Varus R, after you get hit by that you most likely will be dead, however if you manage to avoid it, you can go all in on him. He has powerful W+Q that he can catch you up and deal enormous damage with, although there's a catch since you can dodge it with your Tumble [Q].”

spark2 says “Varus has a butt ton of poke but zero mobility. Go aggressive on him and dodge his Q's, but try not to push too hard. He's incredibly vulnerable to ganks, so try to leave some room for your jungler in the lane.”
0
Laverenz says “See if you can kill him a time or two before he hits level 6. He's not really a big threat for Vayne before level 6 basic of his poor damage output, and skillshot-reliant poke. After level 6 you're done. If he hits you with Ult there's not much you can do against it. He will probably kill you after level 6. Try to dodge his Ult, because it denies your ability to Tumble, which is bad, because Varus' range is 575 and Vayne only has 550.”
0
philsopaoto says “Varus should be an easy lane if you're good at dodging his Q and ult, and Xayah's root is great against Varus who lacks mobility outside of summs”
0
MewlingRavenPaw says “Damage windows is the name of the game. Play passive till he uses a spell on your support or misses one before attempting to trade back into him. If you're uncomfortable with Kalista just play around your first back of berserker greaves before telling your support to look for opportunities to engage. Just be cautious of his E when using heal as the greavious wounds can easily lead towards a good fight going south. ”

minepro221 says “He wins extened trades, while you win if you proc your passive and back off. in laneing phase, go for auto q trade on every minion. if he auto e to trade back, play aggressive, as his e is on a 20 second cooldown early. Late game, wait out her root, and you are good to go.”
0
Kynaz0071l0l says “Poke from his q and e is very annoying. His ult is good at locking you down, but if you can dodge it you can easily kill him. ”
0
Eucalyptus says “He can just build Muramana and Lethality and kill you with his fucking rail-gun from the comfort of his pentakill-house suite while you act as the Hotel's bellhop on the ground floor.”
0
Fruxo says “Try to avoid his Q's to your best ability. Same goes for his R, try to avoid it. A Varus without his ult (R) is very vulnerable, Take advantage of that.”
0
The Jhin Cena says “Varus' Q can be a bit annoying since he can constantly chop your health down with it. The best course of action is to just try your best to dodge it while also poking him with your passive. This is so if one of you engage, you will both have similar health rather than you being at 20% and him at 80.”
0
Hardstuck Sona says “Varus and Twisted Fate are similar in the sense that their early games are garbage, but Twisted Fate's is slightly better. Use that to your advantage.”
0
MrDecoy says “watch out for when he pops his blight stacks as the dmg might surprise you but if you trade around your w lane should be easy”
0
Zervax says “You outscale him, just don't get poked down in lane and watch out for that R.”
0
dravenfizz says “fairly easy matchup save your E to dash his abilities or more preferably sidestep his Q and dash his ult, again this is another champ that ruins your life in the later stages of the game.”
0
Zach IWNL says “On hit Varus shouldn't be a concern, but beware of Poke Varus.”
0
ADNathan says “Basically nothing to worry about other than his support”
0
Fruxo says “Try to avoid his Q's to your best ability. Same goes for his R, try to avoid it. A Varus without his ult (R) is very vulnerable, Take advantage of that.”
0
BP Chaos says “He can poke you down from range and lock you down level 6. Be careful for his damage and range.”
0
LostSoulslol says “Dependending on his support and build he can poke Jinx really easy with his Q and deny farm”
0
SimbaADC says “Varus can be a rough lane for Cait as he has decent range combined with strong abilities for trading and all in. Do not engage in long trades with him, the only trades you can win are when you can land an E-Q-Auto on him. Respect his level 6 all in ability, and remember that when you reach your 3 item spike your siege and poke potential is far greater than his. Consider a QSS after your IE/ 2 item spike.”
0
Nelkee says “if he tries to CS, just show him some of your positivity, demons hate positivity so he'll likely fuck off”
0
FrankynFood says “Beats you early. Accept it. Move on to late game where you show him his place. ”
0
SlashLion says “Varus is poke heavy and will constantly try to hit you with his Q, which can do a lot of unexpected damage and allows him to safely pick kills under tower if you are low. Not the worst matchup in the world but not the greatest either.”
0
lonely Xatu says “his skillshots are easy to spell shield, abuse this as much as possible”
0
InfernalFox says “He can be quite the bother. He can poke as much as you. Also you have no way of dodging his R. If you get hit by it you are screwed, its really hard to escape even after the ult ends.”
0
TotalWarKS says “He has a stronger early than you and will out DPS you on all stages of the game unless behind, but you will have a longer range later on.”
0
MallisTheGreat says “He can poke, but you can poke back. He can't really escape you whenever you engage, except for his ultimate being up, so care and abuse his cooldowns as much as you can.”
0
Vortiris says “He is somewhat squishy. You can outscale him easily, just don't mess up. Watch out when he tries to snipe you with Piercing Arrow. Do not get caught by his Chain Of Corruption and you can kill him.”
0
Numresunw says “Has a lot of range like to poke you down to death and his ult makes you unable to escape even if you go invisible while it is active, farm as long as possible and go for an early quiksilver slash.”
0
Shoguken says “Interrupting his attack speed may have a benefit for you.”
0
KawaiiNeko says “Relatively even lane, avoid his skills shots and ultimate. Push him under tower or poke him down to kill.”
0
Shake the Shade says “Very easy matchup Varus can never outscale you and loses early if played correctly.”
0
IamVictorious says “Dodge His Qs early game and you can destroy him late, just try to dodge his utli too otherwise he can become pretty tough to battle against”
0
Hidrogear says “Dodge his zone and your quite the guy, don't forget about his ult, he will chop you down in no time.”
0
Dayum Draven says “Varus can easily poke you, so it's a problem. Try to poke back as much as possible. Don't stand in his E , it'll reduce your lifesteal”
0
BurstTheBots says “Don't underestimate the range of his Q as for it's longer than a lot of people think also be sure to dodge his ult if possible.”
0
Shacolada says “Varus has no escape abilities so focusing him in team fights tends to be easy. Dodge his Piercing Arrow at any cost when he has stacked 3 blight on you, as it will do an incredibly high damage. If he has dark harvest, play extra safe at low health. Stay clear of Varus's ultimate because it can spread.”
0
Gun God Mike says “A lane with varus seems easy but it become dangerous when he reaches 6 and hard counters you with r,your goal is take advantage in early to delete the threat.”
0
Levi Senpai says “Not that strong , usually gonna go for blade - > rageblade build which cant kill you instantly so its easy for you to kill him especially with crit build”
0
Shderen says “If you can SOMEHOW get in his range, early on, you can trade well with him. If either of those criteria aren't met, he usually pokes your ass or just outright auto-attacks you into oblivion. Pray your team isn't braindead and knows how to deal with his ult when it hits one of them - even consider cleanse as a summoner spell. Avoid his E while you're regenerating from Q, as it inflicts Grievous Wounds.”
0
Niculae01 says “This matchup depends on your ability to dodge a spell. You dodge his Q, you win. You don't, you will have a really bad time down there.”
0
Fruxo says “Try to avoid his Q's to your best ability. Same goes for his R, try to avoid it. A Varus without his ult (R) is very vulnerable, Take advantage of that.”
0
NeinMeansNo says “Varus's Q+E can chunk Twitch's health especially when Twitch has three stacks of blight . Although Varus can be easily executed if Twitch's support has hard cc.”
0
Todomagia says “In Building
(I do not have too many encounters with him)”
0
Krazioz says “This is the same as with Jinx, except that Varus has less range, even though that he can poke you down with his q. Varus relies heavily on his abilities so try to bait them out and then engage on him. Varus is biggest threat when combined with support like Lulu or Soraka. ”
0
jster131 says “Pretty even matchup early game, but if he gets ahead, your late game becomes a nightmare. Make sure not to make any mistakes or feed the varus because his late game power is no joke.”
0
DaSticks says “His ult can stop you tumbling. Deals alot of damage.”
0
Xerxes Is ADC says “keep your distance, move side to side dont run straight at him as he can show his abilities easier at you. becareful of his poke damage.”
0
xTheUnlimited says “Really solid lane. Ahead in range and in early damage. Your only hope is to get an aggressive support and over-aggress him. Depends on the supporters. He has range advantage and will push you in at early Levels. You scale better into late game tho. ”
0
xTheUnlimited says “Similar to Sivir. He can push alot and has a strong laning phase and you have to watch out for his good Damage in lane. ”
0
Vayne To Dia ez pez says “Some people say that Varus is a counter. The only thing that makes him hard to play against it his GW on E. Other than that I do not see anything hard about facing him.”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “Can out-trade you in lane and deal more damage than you at other points and power spikes.”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “A quite large threat with good poking power so stay under turret and wait for ganks to beat Varus.”
0
Tipurrs says “He will poke you from afar. all in at 6 since he's too squishy and mana hungry.”
0
SpicyAdCurry says “Varus is one of the Best ADC'S to counter Caitlyn in late game he simply Stack his Passive and Q late game and in early She loses trade with Varus cause of his Passive ”
0
qasddsa says “Dodge his Q and poke him down with your Q. He has a weak early game but is strong mid-late game, especially in teamfights with his ultimate. You do not want to get caught by his ultimate, as that will put full stacks of his passive on you, letting him quickly burst you down. With a little bit of kiting to dodge his abilities, he can be easily killed.”
0
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, his range is monstrous but he is homosexual so hes probably going to lose concentration looking at ur ginormous weiner. also, everything he has is spell shieldable. spell shield anything he drops directly on u. it's always feelsgood time in the house when u spell shield a max range q when u have 3 spooky varus stacks on u and then u laugh maniacally and take a sip of your evil tea ahhaahhahahahhahahahahhahah. also late game when varus is by himself trying to be big weiner because he thinks he can because of his small weiner ult u can run at him first and pop ur spell shield, either he wastes ult and dies, or dies. :)))”
0
Dr3sko says “With his Q he can poke without punishment. If you have 1-2 stacks, care for his E”
0
EagleBlades says “This guy is a joke. 90% of Varuses are absolute trash. At least in silver.”
0
DFireFox says “You go even with him throughout early to mid, but you out scale him hard, watch out for his ulti and poke when you can and you should be fine.”
0
satancurls says “Muito fácil, Varus tem uma mobilidade ruim, aproveite disso e tente sempre desviar das skills dele.”
0
Savagerayne says “This is even during lane as long as you do not get hit too much with his poke.
Late game avoid his ult and try to remove him from the fights by being smart with yours.”
0
SSG Ruler says “immense poke, slighty more aa range, strong lvl 6.”
0
Seigemaster035 says “You win this fairly soundly, early is hard because of his poke but again, you out scale. Make sure to avoid getting stacked and avoid his ult.”
0
NotFlyREDKIT says “do not get caught when he uses his ultimate strenght”
0
Robin Banks says “Immobile Adc with range advantage. However its very easy to proc your W+E. I'd say you win pre 6 as long as he isn't able to detonate any blight stacks. Haven't seen too many varus's nowadays so I'm a bit rusty on the knowledge of this matchup. ”
0
Nittwerp says “Varus isn't that difficult to deal with, dodge his Q in laning fase and if you don't get snared by his ult you can easily win against him. ”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “Varus has poke and can win the matchup with a good tanky support quite easily.”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “Varus has a strong mid game which goes against you yet his late game is not as good as yours.”
0
koyomilikesbloods says “His r is strong but it doesn't stun. Really it's his passive you want to watch out for. His slow is stronger than yours at early levels so just be careful. You can poke him easily because of where he stands in lane.”
0
iOwnPT says “Now this isnt 100% right, you all know it depends on the player but if the enemy Varus is good, he will give you a hard time poking with his E/Q where your axes will drop.
Also, in level6+ if he gets you on his ult, you wont be able to catch your axe which makes you lose alot of damage.”
0
ZiviPK says “Constant poke and harass that you can do little against. usually my #1 ban.”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “Varus has an element of trading power into you and offers much more to his team.”
0
Tylerfig455 says “He has good range with his Q, just don't let him get 3 stacks from his W on you and land a fat Q or your dead.”
