varus cooldowns a little too long?

skyfall619··4 votes·577 views

his cooldowns seem very long compared too all the other adc. he is supposed to proc his w but his cooldowns are so long he can rarely make use of it. or are you meant to build cdr on varus?

his kit is just so similar to kalista yet his cooldowns are vastly inferior even though hers are blatantly stronger.

Varus is an AD caster and not right click to crit like most. Varus is also from an era where ADCs were designed to secure and take objectives, not 1v5 the whole enemy team.

If he could proc blighted quiver every 2 seconds he would be beyond OP...

that would make sense in old league but when kalista can have a infinite stacking e there is no reason for varus to not be able to proc his w more often

... Yeah, because %HP damage is less powerful than a 25+0.25bonus AD per stack?

varus w is 2%-5% stack 3x (w maxed last) and rarely gets to proc due to super long cooldowns. maybe im doing it wrong.

Youre doing something wrong. in a long engagement you sohuld be AAx3+Q, AAx3+E, and/or AAx3+R You should never just throw out abilities like youre lucian or graves and hope you hit things.

... it sounds like youre expecting to smash your face against the keyboard and win.

Also, 700AP varus does crazy damage. like 60% HP damage. Lol.

but that goes against what varus is good at and that is poking. if u poke you are then left unable to take advantage of his w for a while.

i have tried ap varus it is pretty fun

... what varus is good at is siege. the fact he has good harass is just a part of that. And if youre harassing, it should ONLY be done with Q.

AP varus really only works toplane in my opinion. :c

Hey, I love building cooldown reduction on Varus, I don't need any bullshit low damage compensated with "Low cooldowns." If anything give him a reliable passive.
