Varus's name should be changed to Vaarus to fit the other darkin.

A little disappointed they didn't retcon his name, it would've fit so well.

Especially since Varus used to be the corrupted bowman, but now the champion's name comes from the darkin bow. Might as well make it to Vaarus. (Idk why Varus couldn't just stay Varus though and give the bow some name in the lore like Rhaast)

If they're gonna kill off the man that was Varus, at least go all the way with it.

Rhaast and Aatrox just coincidentally have two A's in their names. When Kayn was released, someone asked if all Darkin have two A's in their name and an employee said no. I'd prefer them to have two A's though.

TBH I'd be able to accept it in my brain a little better as a totally different champion since the old one is dead so lets do it! No more honorable, dying warrior, now a fabulous monster that hates everything that lives, VAARUS :D

Varus is dead, at least go all the way with the name, I agree, dont leave it an empty shell just to insult us.

if it's really necessary that the darkin needs to be called now "Varus", then YES PLS, change him to Vaarus.

I never knew there was actually a connection between the Darkin and the double A's in their name.

No, they don't have to and they shouldn't do it. The fact that Aatrox and Rhaast have two "A" in their names is just a coincidence, as already stated by Riot themselves.

Where was a memo Varus, there was a memo.

Isn't Varus the collective identity of Kai,Valmar and the Darki ,not just the Darkin itself?

Hammermancer11/30/2017, 11:29:28 PM1 votes

I coulda sworn that item 3033 was his bow, like, it even does the grevious wounds thingy
