Essential Items Explained
Zhonya's Hourglass is really good simply because it gives high AP and an awesome active which can save an AP Varus whose abilities are still on cooldown.
Runaan's Hurricane is what gives Varus what I would consider "Rediculus late game AOE damage." Imagine a team fight next to Baron Nashor in which Varus (who has 400 AP) gets nine auto attacks off (that wouldn't take very long). After the first three autos (~600 mixed damage - resistances{half damage for Runaan's bolts}) he cast his Hail of Arrows which does 205 + Blighted Quiver which does 39% of target's (at most three targets if you land a good e) maximum health!!!! (minus resistances) You get three more autos off and activate them with you ult or q to blow up your next victim. Anyway you get the point. Buy Runaan's :)
If you are playing against an AD mid then you absolutely need the armor seals (same for mr blues if playing against an AP mid), but if you are playing against a melee champ (AP or AD) I would recommend going full AP/Magic Pen. This aggression is made possible because of Varus' high cc kit and his ability to harass and kite most melee champions.
PROS
- easy to farm with
- high late-game damage
- great aoe damage (with Runaan's Huricane)
- two great cc abilities (three with Rylai's Crystal Scepter)
- easy to manage mana
- people are not expecting this build...surprise them!
CONS
- very farm/item dependent
- cannot build defensive otherwise you become pretty useless
- requires good positioning because of Varus' lack of mobility
