Aatrox is a Darkin. Rahst is a Darkin, they both have a similar appearence which I get because they are both Darkin, while Varus is only corrupted...but then why is Varus purple? Both Aatrox and Rahst share a color scheme, which is seen even before Rahst takes over Kayn...
It would make Varus looke a lot cooler imo
Variks the Loyal1 votesBecause his model and design is old and outdated. He wouldn't be out of the question for a VGU.
He's not that far off, though. Purple skin could just be a side effect of the corruption, and this Darkin could be a different, darker variant.
TheGoomyGamer1 votesNot a VGU, just a VU
Dangerous Man1 votesWooooOOAH he's halfway theeeerre (not fully consumed yet I believe)
Hay5eed1 votesStill doesn't mean that he should be purple
AlienPrimate1 votesLook at humans. We don't all have the same characteristics either. Black, white, Asian, Indian, albino.............................
Terozu1 votesHe isn't Darkin yet, he's being possesed by it, but until he achieves his vengaence, he will not succumb. So in terms of gameplay; never.
Hay5eed1 votesI know I know but Kayn hasn't succumbed yet and he still has the same color scheme as Aatrox on his weapon and corrupted areas
Terozu1 votesWell, look at Varus' bow; https://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_03_varus_reveal/varus-base.jpg you can see weird little red splotches that may be eyes like on Raahst's scythe.
Stars Shaper1 votesHis visuals are too old compared to the introduction of the Darkins.
He either gets a minor VU (he could need one, just look at how bad his model looks when he is next to Kayn) or his Bio will tlel us that Varus isn't simply another host for a living weapon.
Stars Shaper1 votesIf Varus had a Darkin that would be his Bow which name could be (unless retcons happen) Pallas.
Varus would be a lot more corrupted than Kayn but he might be able to keep that status balanced with his thirst of vengeance being strong enough to suppress the conscious of the Bow/Darkin.
Hay5eed1 votesIf you look at the special dialogue between Rhast and Varus then it is pretty much confirmed that Varus possesses the third Darkin
Stars Shaper1 votesYes, and if retcons don't happen then I stand my point that Varus, while being corrupted, has indeed suppressed the will of the Darkin.
javiermetal661 votesA Darkin can be contained or defeated in their weapon form, Kayn proves it. Maybe Varus already defeated his darkin bow and wields it without problem. But his corruption was caused by Pallas pit.
