so, i have varus, and i like the guy. i'd like to think i'm pretty good with him, but i'm not sure if he's any good compared to other adc's. yea, i know "a champ is only as good as you play it", but i'm talking realistically, is this guy any good in ranked pvp? do varus users get rekt if they even get used at all?
i've googled this but i cant even find any threads on this subject within the last 2 years.
Flitchee1 votesi've seen some people destroy with him, but hes kind of outclassed
Dreadlocks1 votesI think if your team lacks CC or peel, hes a solid pick fosh
Hellpyre1 votesHe doesn't do as well in the current meta as a lot of other picks, but combined with a long-range support you can poke out almost any other combination. The problem Varus usually has is that he's in a weird place between AD Mage and AD Carry, so he doesn't quite do either as well as some other people. He really needs to have a dynamic playstyle to shine - which means that you need a good grasp on the mechanics of both parts of his identity, and a good understanding on when to use which part of it.
Critmaster Garen1 votesyoure right. a lot of the other adc need to get nerfed.
they overloaded them with too much shit. there is no reason those new utility carries also deal as much damage as they do.
if you think about it, kallista is the reverse version of ashe. instead of having slows on every ability, some good poke, and a vision ability, she has a ridiculous kiting passive, poke on her q, and a vision ability. so similar kit with kiting by mobility instead of slowing the opponent.
so why does she also get to have a huge fucking burst execute on her e, and 20% max hp damage?
the same goes for jinx. she has twice in her kit compared to other ad carries. there are some things they should just flat out remove. like the movement speed bonus through assists on her passive, the crit on her rockets, and the vision on her mines and her w. there is not even a logical reason for her w to grant vision. it just seems like extra utility slapped on, because they could. this shit hits for more than more than 600 damage with 300 ad, and slows for 70% for 2 seconds. with that value you might aswell be snared. let that go through your head for a second. were talking about damage and cc values on a short cooldown, that compares to most mages.
if you think about it, varus is balanced compared to ad carries that came before lucian.
he may not be able to 1v1 vayne unless you play it really well. but with long range poke and some cc, at least he has strengths on par with the other ad carries. of course hes not going to be able to keep up with jinx, who just pokes out of his attack range with rockets and her w, and outdamages him from closer range with the minigun, while snaring your support.
varus doesnt need buffs. they just need to decide where theyre going with jinx. is she supposed to be a low mobility, low utility hypercarry with aoe auto attacks like twitch, or is she supposed to be a utility carry with cc and vision on her abilities with a minor attack steroid? because right now shes a mobile lategame utility hypercarry.
and yes, i said mobile on purpose. because despite people always claiming, that she has no mobility, she usually just gets a random assist in a fight from one of her rockets, and gets ghosted from her passive.
