Lucian
Lucian is strong and as much as Graves is bursty, Lucian has that and more. Early game he can all-in Varus, mid-game it's worse, and late game is the worst. He can dodge your Q and R with his dash, his W gives him speed to stay on target of you, his lane poke is just as annoying as Varus's, and his passive is where his damage truly lies. If you can't hit your ult on him, by the time you fire 3 auto attacks and your abilities, he'll have shot 6 auto attacks and his abilities.
Runes Explained
Your Q is great for farming minions, especially the weak caster ones. When poking down champions with your Q try to hit as few minions as possible to maximize your damage, also the more stacks of Blight you have applied will help your damage insanely. Your Q's range is insane making you able to snipe kills from far away and even 750+ Units from tower. The damage increasing depending on how long you charge it, as does the range. Panic Q only when needy, at other times let it charge. Use your Q as your main form of harass in lane.
W is another self-explainable skill. Extra magic damage on auto attacks is great for farming as explained earlier. W also gives a stacking passive upon auto attacks. Targets can have upwards of 3 stacks at once and will take extra damage for each stack once they have been hit with one of your other abilities. Try to apply 2-3 stacks before shooting your Q or E.
E Is great if you're in need to catch a target or you need to escape. It also helps alot if you need to slow your targets down a bit before shooting your Q. Refrain from using this ability early on and this combined with Q spam will drain your mana way to quickly.
Varus has one of the best ults for teamfights of all ADCS. His ult allows you to lock down multiple targets during a team fight allowing the rest of your team to follow through thoroughly. It is also great in laning phase if you combine it with another hefty CC ult. Examples; Morgana, Braum, Sona, Nami, Etc. Lead with this or use this when escaping targets.
My personal Favorites;
-
Leona; Very strong initiation, lots of peel, multiple CC abilities, strong passive for landing Varus Qs.
Taric; Good CC, Decent peel, tons of survivability, Ultimate allows for Varus to stack up W safely before Using Q.
Sona; No peel, Fair sustain, Good ultimate for CC chaining, Sona's Q and Varus Q apply some serious burst.
