Varus, so simple, yet so unique and cool

Q; I snipe W: three hit boom E: I slow R: I snipe and snare

Yet due to how his mathmatical balancing works, he has four com pletely different and un ique play styles, that play completely different

1-Crit, which is a more team fight focused build for dps You play like a normal crit adc, where u are consistatnly bumping out dps, u sorta play like jinx due to ur passives being so similiar.

2-On hit, a duelist build for single targets You play with the intention to single out a target in a fight and flat out dps them, not so much meant for rotating targets but dueling somebody and winning

3-Lethality, snipe You play this into squishy comps, play very far back, and rely on your q to deal out massive damage while sieging, eventualy forcing people to back or risk being killed by one more arrow.

4-AP, assasinating Land ult, stack passive, Q, profit, you become a tactile field nuke assassin

All these play styles play nothing like each other, you can't go crit varus, and expect playing the same way will help you win as ap varus, you have to have a different mind set, and a whole new form of positioning between each build.

If riot ever wanted to bring back play style diversity, one champion they should look at is Varus.

Maybe he has so many different playstyles because he is 3 dudes in 1. [sg-zephyr]

3 non-viable off-meta builds and 1 far superior build that completely outshines all of them.

item 3124 item 3115 -> Full AP is the uncontested best build.

you can completely still carry with the other three builds, I personally haven't even lost a single game of lethality varus, as it completely takes apart squishy comps. If anything the AP build invalidates the Crit build, and not much else.

my favourite ADC, you can also itemize a lot of goofy stuff on him and still be on par with other ADCs in terms of DPS while being able to crank your damage up in other areas

item 3087item 3147item 3031item 3124 all in the same game is pretty funny stuff

Don't forget that you can activate W to increase dmg of your Q
