Preferably, use locket builds only against burst champs www.deeplol.gg/summoner/kr/%EC%95%84%EC%98%A4%20%EB%B0%94%EC%8C%A4-KR1 The build of main that I based on. www.youtube.com/@vasensei/videos You can get Varus tips with English subtitles on his RU-vid channel
6:35 What I'm assuming is the Qiyana pinging Varus's locket is completely understandable but it did make me laugh how fast those pings came out lmao. assassins sure seem fun to play right now
>play Rengar >enemy mid is Varus >has barrier >enemy adc is Kaisa and also has barrier >they also have Thresh >start popping off as Rengar >mfw both Kaisa and Varus go Zhonyas >mfw Kaisa goes Verdant aswell >Thresh has locket cause why wouldnt he >Varus thinks "eh, lets slap on Terminus" >almost kill Varus >they have a fucking Soraka top and she presses R
It’s because some ADC’s have higher base HP and armor than some bruisers. I played Malphite vs Tristana mid and she had 805hp at lvl 1 with bone plating to my 705hp
Guys also be aware of the E bug. Once you hit your E after a fraction of a seconds, the marks will proc a second time. You can see it at 4:24 after the ult for example.
@@iaiGamer It's a good bug because it means you can over stack by 1 or 2 stacks while playing Varus if you E and the target is still inside the E during the second proc. The %max health dmg is still goes through.
@@ramones1314 It's very hard to see but you get to tell it if you go frame by frame by watching Corki's HP you'll see that after the basic attack lands Corki's HP chips a second time after the basic attack and then if you watch the clip normally you notice that despite Varus hitting Corki with a 2nd auto, you only see 1 mark in Corki
I love this guy! He had the most interesting varus build I’ve ever seen and it makes for some crazy plays. I’ve seen him once play around with shurelya’s battle song too. I’ve tried this build whenever I can, and it works so well with his kit having a mini barrier to pop in the middle of the q+w charge up! Thanks for bring him some light!
yes and no this is what happens when you put too much damage into abilities especially max hp dmg its essentially another form of stat checking like darius psv or fiora psv and functions like aurora/vayne psv except it isn't gatekept by attack speed or ability haste if i'm being honest, a lot of riot's changes to varus simply don't work because i feel as if they don't understand how he works
I like to take hail of blades mid with varus. Walk up get 3 quick autos and then use E. Then ult them after to get another free 3 stacks on them for the W+Q finish.
so in short basically abuse the fact that Varus has insane scaling on his W and passive (as I can see that the overall build is AP) enough to feel free to build partly tanky just exactly like how Vayne can build whatever the hell is in the shop because W makes up her entire existence
Last season I was climbing with steraks gage first on Varus. This looks like a similar build but with AP since his on-hit feels pretty weak without lethal tempo
Fighting this in top lane is even more frustrating when you're a melee champ who cannot close the gap without eating the insane %HP damage beforehand. You lose trades against him at all stages of the game, and when he builds resistances, it's night night for you and your lane.
Fun fact, Locket in theorycrafting is seen as one of the best defensive item in the game, hitting the spot in armor, magic resist and health all at the same time for a very low price and in only one item, giving room for a lot more options
The first clip is what I'd show to riot after the plans they released to nerf Qiyana in the upcoming patch. 5/1 Qiyana w/ Profane Hydra + Serrated dirk does a full combo + 1 wqaa rotation to a 1/2 Varus with a Locket and Sorc boots, Varus lives. Varus also does full combo + few autos, Qiyana dies.
Yeah, you know that a champion is completely out of tune when you see shit like this. Varus was supposed to be on the weaker side of the class matchup (assassin vs ADC), had less gold on him (Locket, Sorcs dagger and Doran's), got hit by a FULL combo from a fed assassin - and still ends up on top - all this without any mobility in his kit xD Whenever Garen/Darius/Olaf pull off shit like this Riot immediately nerfs theirs core items, nerfs base stats and nerfs a certain ability, then does a lore correction on the champion just to make sure they do not see the light of day. It is a hyperbole - but you get the message. This is not healthy for the game and I think it goes against Riot's current design philosophy.
Clever way to play Varus. His base numbers are (have always been) too high and locket will make opponents completely miscalculate their all in potential. We're seeing a problem across the board right now with ADCs who have too much utility and abilities that do too much damage. Why would you ever pick a mage like Xerath, when you can pick Varus who offers the same spell-based damage but then also auto-attacks for 5x as much.
I have been preaching for years that Varus W needs some kind of fix. He oneshots adcs, midlaners, assassins, tanks, literally anything dies to him and and thats with everything from bottom to top shelves in a tombola stand
Reminds me of dota. Carries can buy team items and utility/niche non-damage items because they scale well enough with perfect play. It's interesting to see league more have the item pool and a good enough playerbase to see a similar shift.
I remember this strategy coming up during the mythic item seasons, but as a 2nd item, People would go for Nashors and then 1 tank item as a 2nd item, precisely because varus, like Kog'maw, has % max hp dmg.
6:39 in this fight we see one champ who is 1500 gold behind, ranged, winning against a class he shouldn't even be in the same screen with to begin with and the other is getting nerfed next patch.
Bwipp showcased it and sent me to the channel. I played this mainly top, as I'm usually there with friends and it's insane - you can happily play weak side, tank ganks and overall suffer for your team's sake... And still have top damage.
hey jackass this video was only released today so its impossible for it to be his fault the guy was playing varus in her game . Think before you type .
Ngl as an ap varus mid otp, i tried this build a few months ago and it just felt bad compared to the usual nashor rift / fighter build. Not a big fan of uly centered builds where if you miss you die.
I feel like we are now at the opposite of last season. Qiyana 5/1 item and half did everything good but still failed to kill the 1/2 inmobile Varus. I always complained that ADC had no counterplay to assassins, last year you were just some 300g running bag ready to be killed in 0,1sec no matter what, but now this is ridiculous.
every single time whenever I play the champs in your vid I wanna quit league but at the same time with new uploads from your channel I can't. What the hell is wrong with me?
Its not like the pick is good , but it has element of surprise when you play varus good . mages might struggle early vs him but scales way harder than a tank varus , assasins do not need to all in him , not gonna comment on talon cause every talon player is different , nafiri all in easily can one shot , all other assasin like quiana , zed , akali they dont really need to all in a tank champ .
wrong this build scales very well, if anything, he is weak right after he finished locket but also unkillable bcuz of it. just tried it out once u get like 2 ap items after locket u can win any 1v1 if u land ulti. my w q did 2000 dmg at 275ap to a 4k hp darius ☠☠ strong pick, u are a menace in any skirmish if ur ult is up (short cd)
@@lulyhead like i said he scales well but as a adc who doesnt have any mobility if he doesnt snowball from start its not a good pick. late game every one can do lot of damage , take syndra for example , late game she press q, e and r and you are dead. he is making it work cause he know how to win from early game .
This champion needs to be reworked, there is no way that W passive should be allowed to provide that much damage and value, to the point that varus can build tank as a squishy and succeed. This is literally what’s wrong with the game - champs building tank and still one shotting
Talon not being able to win lvl 3 trade vs varus is really stupid And I'm not talking about talon going in, not doing enough damage to kill and losing the extended trade to varus which is ok as varus is an adc and talon has skills on cooldown, the problem is talon not being able to match varus damage event at the moment he's doing his combo
math it a bit, it makes sense, talon q range = 80 dmg, talon w both land = 120 dmg, talon passive = 150 damage, talon auto = 70 damage (random numbers but im sure theyre close). thats like 50% of varus hp and he has no more burst after. talon cant 1 shot any champ at that level unless he gets an auto q auto in melee (what im saying is his power comes elsewhere, roaming, fight disruption, carry assassination when he gets items)
Dear lol dobby, If this build is so unstoppable, then why do I have at least 2 0/15 locket Varuses in my games for the past 5 days. Every day I log into the client and I'm greeted with feedback report, per varus player respectively. I hope your videos at least educate these "humans" that you can not pick the funny dude with a bow into every single matchup. - Noid
yeah but most assassins and mages cant afford to do that so early, they need the damage, and that way they would still not being able to kill the varus
Tbh, not many league player are smart as you. Still see many league player don't even bother to buy Serpent's fang against tanky enchanter that can spam perma stackable giga big shield every 2 second.
IS like if u really want Max hp dmg build bork or kraken or lethality most of the time you bigger problems are assasins carrys or mages so why building ap
Make some prank once and create a totally out of ass build showing some clips claiming it works. Like IE soraka or something more trustworthy. I wonder how many people would copy it xD
