Never played Varus and don't give two craps about lore
But the changes pisses me off on behalf of Varus mains and everyone else whom it may concern.
Idk Riot, I just don't understand why you went after Varus in the first place. Surely there are more pressing matters to attend? Lately, Riot has been incredibly irrirating, as in changing things for the worse. You have to listen to people before you drastically change a champion: they feel connected to said champion and you're just taking the piss when you changed Varus into something people did not envision him to be.
But I might be wrong, maybe you are trying to piss people off. In that case, you've succeeded.
