What does NA think of this build?
So, seeing the Korean Build hype for Lucian and MF, I decided to have a go at my own version for Varus.
It, uhh. Well, it works pretty decently. I will make a disclaimer and say I've only tried it out in one game, but it's pretty strong. Hell, it even helped well into late game for Varus, and everyone knows that his late scale gaming isn't exactly the best. I had the perfect opponent to go against too, Lucian himself.
So what's the build? Well I played to Varus' strengths and weaknesses. I could go and do a super 6 damage items build, whatever, but his immobility was a pretty big kicker into it, and exposes him greatly, and I was going versus a very mobile team that consisted of Lee, Ekko, Lucian, Lux & Jayce.
This was my first to go option for two reasons: The first is for CDR, and the second is for it's active ability, especially for the MS.
I took swifties to increase my movement speed, as I said Varus is super immobile. It helped greatly for going to or retreating from situations.
Standard reasoning, I played into Varus' poke and mana so I can have a constant presence. It helped me out alot, as it soon allowed me to gain an advantage over Lucian due to baiting out his dash every time I could so I could punish him with a follow-up Q and the mana pool to support it.
Hey ADC's can use this now too! So why the hell not? Extra HP, decent damage, and stacking Armour pen on top of Youmuu's helped me do some savage auto-attacks. Also feeling less squishy while still having a great damage output is an amazing feeling.
Most of the game was spent playing cat & mouse due to the circumstances in which the enemy team gained a massive advantage for the majority of the game, so I needed a decent item for quick waveclearing. Runaan's helped me for three primary reasons: I hadn't bought any attack speed items yet, nor did I have crit. So this benefited me as it gave me an even bigger boost to my MS, I now had crit, decent attack speed as well as a great waveclear.
This thing is a god damn life saver. Massive damage, nice shield, and a well needed MR stat considering I was going up versus both Lux & Ekko.
This item proved to be the key for me surviving into late game. Varus falls off near the time of late-game, and he becomes redundant as an ADC save for his ultimate, which is a great CC ability. I bought Elixir to increase both my own chances of survival and so I can still contribute damage wise to my team.
Runes: Flat AD Marks, 2 AD Quints, 1 AS Quint, flat armour seals, x6 MR glyphs and X3 scaling MR
Masteries: 18-12, with Deathfire Touch as my keystone.
My thoughts on it are mixed. It's pretty strong. The amount of damage I do even without popping Blight stacks is mind-blowing. I'm still going to experiment with it more however.
