Explain to me how exactly does this work Riot, is this champion actually broken or your game is?

Varus W Bug

????

Small Indie Company btw.

There's 3 bugs regarding his W (this one incluided) they've been here for like 10 patches or so and Riot hasn't moved a finger.

It's very simple, actually. Is varus lee sin? No. Is varus Yasuo? No. Does Riot care? No.

Watch Riot ignore this because Varus isn't "LCSBIGPLAYSMONEYMAKER" like Yasuo.

If this was Yasuo it would be hotfixed instantly.

Where you at Meddler?

What shocks me is if Riot would say that they cared about the state of Varus.

###They created the most inconsistent champion...

  • Reworked lore (that has no connection with his current voicelines).
  • Reworked splash (that had some of his features changed extremely; different tattoos, different crown crystal, different hair, different head features like his jaw line).
  • Old in-game model (that doesn't reflect on most changed features of his new splash).
  • Old abilities that have almost no reference in new lore apart from his Q.

###There's over 3 serious Bugs on Varus ...

  • Blight stacks not detonating against shielded enemies.
  • Blight damage not scalling (newest one).
  • Q channeling bug (affects other champions with channel abilities too; Xerath, Vi).

###There's 2 Animation Bugs...

  • Leveling up W for the first time, disables Varus' Crit Animations permanently.
  • Varus will try to basic attack (by performing the AA Animation) the same enemy unit even if they are killed.

###There's 5 Visual Bugs

  • Darkstar Varus Headtrail is pixelated.
  • Darkstar Varus Headtrail glitches every now and then.
  • Darkstar Varus Headtrail glitches out when changing movement direction in quick succession.
  • Darkstar Varus drawing an arrow animation creates a spiral visual that doesn't have any kind of animation besides increasing in size and disappearing into thin air the same way it came.
  • When channeling Q, the middle part of the bow is invisible and Varus is essentially holding the bow with an invisible force, this effects most of his skins.

Reproducible against real targets? It may be that the dummy is coded as a minion or monster instead of a champion (And the cap at that rank is only 15 less damage than what was dealt), in which case yes this may be a bug, but isn't relevant since it'd be practice-tool specific.

Let's see.

MAGIC DAMAGE PER STACK: 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5% (+ 2% per 100 AP) of the target's maximum health

  • Target Dummy has 10,000 HP.
  • Target Dummy has 100 Magic Resist so Magic damage taken is reduced by 50%

At rank 1 W vs a 10,000 HP and 100 MR target the W at 3 stacks should do 10000 x 0.09 = 900 before MR.

100 MR reduces magic damage received by 50% so 900 / 2 = 450.

Varus W stacks are magic damage so we don't need to account for armor.

Hayaishi you have played this game for a long time. Your super frustrated with the game and you have been for years. Why still play? I've played since season 2 and I can't even play the game anymore because it's so frustrating. Why bother. Riot doesn't listen to you or me or anyone.
