r/VarusMains - Bugcatcher Varus coming back at you again with another bug, this time a bad one for you all to keep in mind

Currently Varus can't detonate his blightstacks if his target has a shield.

It has a 100% chance to reproduce, just go into a custom game, pick Janna and varus on the enemy team.

Have Varus stack his blight on Janna and have Janna user her shield against Varus' E or Q. His ability will damage the shield but the blight will not detonate.

It happens with any kind of shield, i tested it with barrier too.

Also his critical strike animation stops working for the remainder of the game if he skills up his W.

Please Riot look into this, i doubt any of this is intentional.

I already sent a bug report and made several posts on boards and reddit about the Crit AA Animation bug and still no news/feedback on that, other than wait and see if "they will contact you about additional details that they need to know of".

Tbh it feels so pointless reporting any kind of bug. They probably never look at this part of the forums, but the fact that to this day such an important bug for Varus hasn't been fixed is so demoralizing.
