##QUESTION

He's Varus going to get a Voice Over Update at some point, so i'm curious..

####What kind of Voice Lines you would want to see him have or better yet any special interactions?

##What I personally would like to see

##Aatrox Darkin Related Lines

  • Voice Lines towards ALLY/ENEMY Darkin's; If an ALLY Varus will ask them about what he hasn't seen before or doesn't understand, if an ENEMY Varus will ask them out of pure confusion as to how and why they side with other species (Humans, Vastayans, etc..) and fight those who are like them.

  • Voice Lines when other Darkin around him use a particular ability: (regardless if an ALLY or an ENEMY, Aatrox: R, Rhaast E or R) Varus will have a few Voice Lines that will consist of things like a cold warning to others around him about the dark battle approaching or that they are right to have fear in their hearts because of how ruthless his brethren are, or that the hope of victory is slipping.

##item 3175 Champion Related Lines

  • Voice Lines towards other Ally/Enemy Champions with a BOW as their main weapon Ashe Quinn Vayne Twitch Kindred

  • Voice Lines towards Champions who are with someone else (Kled/Scarl, Kayn/Rhaast, Kindred/Wolf, Nunu/Willump, Quinn/Valor) as a way to relate to having Valmar/Kai with him at all times.

  • Voice Lines towards IONIAN Champions who lived near PALLAS XinZhao (born in Raikkon which is a southern tip of Zhyun island of Ionia, AKA the closest Champion to where the events and fate of Valmar and Kai took place).

##summoner 6 Long Walk Lines

  • Talking about the excruciating experience of being sealed for so long (Cursed with a fate of being neither fully alive, neither fully dead but simply trapped. Varus was trapped the longest, I assume there would be a lot of confusion, frustration followed by potentially sadness? Varus isn't all about revenge, he showed calmer emotions when he was looking for his Sister).

  • Talking about what the world looked like before he was sealed within his weapon (this one in particular could be interesting because we could picture a Runeterra from a completely different perspective that we haven't seen or know much of.

  • Talking how his body is continuously changing, evolving potentially due to unknown properties of his magic. Talk about his Magic in general, or the Blight/Corruption (assuming that will still be cannon to his Character, since that was a huge part of his first lore, how the well in the temple and the being inside the well was flowing with unknown Corrupting Magic that was feared by many).

  • Talking how his body is continuously changing, evolving potentially due to unknown properties of his magic. Talk about his Magic in general, or the Blight/Corruption (assuming that will still be cannon to his Character, since that was a huge part of his first lore, how the well in the temple and the being inside the well was flowing with unknown Corrupting Magic that was feared by many).

  • How he even got to Shurima for starters because it's oversea's, I doubt that a local boatman would be willing to help him in his current appearance (stuff like this cause a lot of questions about the lore). And how rough and mysterious his whole journey must of been as he was slowly getting to Shurima.

##item 3812 Buying a Particular Item Lines

  • Buying a BOW based item item 1043 item 3035 item 3036 item 3033 item 3085 will cause him to make an annoyance joke.

  • Buying Items that potentially refer to what his Magic is (CORRUPTING Potion) or how an Item's name refers to what he was going through (Dark SEAL) and making yet another annoyance joke item 2033 item 1082 .

  • Buying Region Thematic based items that remind him of certain events item 3135 (Battle of Icathia).

a voice line just keeping the gay romance between the two alive. Also, I wanna hear all their voices, not just 1.

I suspect, given his current lore, it'd be a Kayn/Rhaast situation where you have the two voices arguing within him and maybe he comes down on the side of one or the other... or just tells them both to shut up over and over again.

So on this, the Darkin bit. Darkin didn't like each other, they were fighting against each other. I don't see why Varus would want to team up with Aatrox or Rhaast at all. These 3 weren't even willing to hear Ta'anari out, they didn't show. So any voice lines towards them should be that of disdain.

He should have lines towards Azir for sure as he would have known him. Nasus and Renekton too. Be nice if he has an excuse as to why he wasn't at Xerath's Ascension (Void was closed by then).

The bow stuff is good.

I also think as Kai and Valmar are him he should confuse him memories and talk to Noxus champs with disrespect as well.

I simply want a taunt towards the darkin sister.

I would like his lore to be reverted back to the original, and the voice lines being whoever the person was, desperately fighting against Vaarus desperate to save the only thing he has left - himself - After the Noxians and the corruption of the Darkin bow took his family and his village away.

That and voicing jealousy to Kayn and his homoerotic relationship with Zed.

Only champ with legit split personality order.

So there should be two sets of voicelines. One for Kalmar and Vai or w/e their names were. And one for Varus.

Periodically they switch driver seats, with gay couple dudes voicelines focused on keeping each other strong to resist Varus when they are in control of the body and then swapping over to Varus making comments about how insipid their love is and how humanity isn't enough to resist his will.

When Darkin were inter-dimensional alien creatures rather than Ascended Shuriman God warriors it was suggested that humanity fucked over the Darkin and it was kind of dubious whether the Darkin had it coming or we were just being dicks. The problem with the new Shuriman Ascended is that THEY were very clearly the aggressors so it's hard for Varus' disdain for humanity to come off as anything, but unjustified. Now he hates Icathians... which V & K aren't so it's like eh?

In response to enemy Jinx saying "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister Varus I too have a sister, but you'll be too dead for an introduction

Idk why but I think that would be a cool interaction

"We didn't all agree to the double A thing Ay-Aatrox!" Would probably be the best possible joke.
