well since the rework of ghostblade you really cant play varus as a caster anymore because you needed ghost blade because of the active, i cant build him hybrid on hit anymore becuase of the rework to fervor of battle..... warlords blood lust doesnt really wok on him that well because he has no self peel and no escape and cant kite for shyt compared to ashe cait vayne ez . well pretty much every other adc in the game. He has 0 attack speed buff and no his passive doesnt count, his atttack range isnt that good, the only real good thing with him is the same as kog you can build hybrid and it works pretty well and thats really it.

6.23 is coming out soon I assume. Try BOTRK with Guinsoo and trinity force and see if result happen since they will buffing the first 2 items. It may work well with your W, it may not work I don't know. I don't know if Fervor is any valid, perhaps an altnernative would be Deahtfires touch? Warlords is always classic.

thats what my onhit build consisted of i really cant do it anymor eafter losing precious damage off of fervor of battle. varus is now officially weak as hell. warlords does not work on him because it is better on people who can kite and have a escape, varus cant kite nor does he have a escape and has slow movement speed. which is why my on hiot build was so strong becuase at the end of the game i would have 300 ad 300 ap depending on if i wanted to take hextech gunblade or lord dom ... the onhit is desgined around his w and ult. the issue with deathfire is it is meant for the caster q poke which he really cant do effectively due to the change on ghostblade and duskblade the 2 key items in the build.im going to bring ap varus back. kog suffers from this as well

What if you went crit style mixed with CDR instead with deathfire? So BOOTS BOTRK IE RUNNANS ER and Dominks. Not in this order. Would this not be a possibility?

the whole point of the on hit was it made varus actually very very strong, i would get pick axe then rush runaans then get rageblade. always in that order. now you cant do this as effectiviely becuase of the removal of fervor of battle. the other option would be to go ap which your still getting runaans and nashors, but getting hextech and beserker greaves or something i dont know. there is nothing great about varus now

I understand what you're saying and I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't main Varus. I'm just seeing if there is no alternative other than playing AP. The previous build I mentioned wouldn't be as high as on hit effects but it would allow you to apply on hits more frequently without fear of running out of mana and dealing massive dmg with auto attacks and applying DoT. It's just a thought. I don't see it being a bad build, just a slow one. Frankly, I'm just tired of laning the same ADCs over and over and over again and so if there is a possibility of persuading 1 person use another AD champ because of a possible build I will; it could start a small ripple effect.

hey man i know the feeling. i like him its just that he now officially has nothing going for him now. They took away the midlane build, they took away fervor of battle which weakened his on hit build, and other adcs can do what he does only better. Adc wise he has no escape low mobility, long cds, no attack speed steroid and no his passive doesnt count. So what do they do ........kog suffers from the samething minus if you can make the ap work good job. Im thinking having to use smite bot lane and using blood razor.... its not the greatest but it works. And lastly his aa range is crap.
