Supports, Which One Is Your Optimal Lane Partner?
If you play AD Carry, you know how important it is to have the ideal support in your lane. This section is dedicated to saying who is the ideal support for
Varus.
:
Taric is quite possibly one of the best supports for
Varus. A good
Taric with
Dazzle and
Exhaust will allow you to easily burst down targets in lane with
Blighted Quiver and
Hail of Arrows. His
Imbue and
Shatter also give the normally squishy low escape option
Varus able to take a hit and have better chances of getting away. Due to the recent late-game buff to
Taric he is advantageous to not only you but to the whole team.
:
Soraka is another excellent support for
Varus. Due to her mana sustain with
Infuse allows you to poke quite easily with
Piercing Arrow and even
Hail of Arrows. Also
Soraka's passive,
consecration and the effects of
Starcall allow your magic-damage burst with
Blighted Quiver to deal exceptional amounts of damage. Also her
Astral Blessing and
Wish give her excellent sustain options to you and your entire team!
:
Thresh is one of my personal favorites for an aggressive lane. His
Death Sentence followed with a
Flay and
The Box allows you you easily burst foes and said spells passive allow him to poke a little extra while you farm. Also
Thresh's
Dark Passage allow you to tank some some damage as well as pull you out of a tower dive and pull friendly ganks in.
:
Leona is an excellent support if you plan on running a very aggressive lane.
Leona is amazing with many burst ADC's including
Varus. Her passive
Sunlight is easily detonated by
Varus, and when added with the magic damage from
Blighted Quiver you can burst very effectively. Her
Zenith Blade is an excellent engage ability when chained with an
Eclipse and
Shield of Daybreak. This CC combo allows your lane to become an absolute bulldozer once you both hit level 2 with amazing burst capabilities.
Leona can also maintain these massive tanking and CC abilties later into the game with her ultimate,
Solar Flare, allows for excellent ganks and engages in team fights when followed by
Chain of Corruption and other team initiation spells. This lane combination will, under most circumstances, go very well making
Leona another one of my favorite supports when playing ADC
Varus.
:
Blitzcrank is a high crowd control aggressive support that works amazingly with
Varus... when he isnt banned. His infamous kit allows you to easily pick up kills and he can hold down the fort while you
recall for items.
:
Lulu is an interesting support choice due to how her spells work, in a way giving her the ability to be an aggressive or passive lane partner. With
Pix, Faerie Companion and
Glitterlance allow her to poke easily, and [glitterlance]]'s slow will allow you to close the gap and get off some attacks to be followed by a blight detonating
Piercing Arrow or
Hail of Arrows if you are still in range. Her primary crowd control is
Whimsy, this spell followed by
Help, Pix! allow you to easily engage enemies, buff your own dps, give you a shield, and allow her to get another
Glitterlance to crowd control the target further for you to seal the deal.
Wild Growth is an excellent saving move due to its knockback and health boost. It is also very helpful in teamfights to buff either your tank or brawler. Lulu is by far my personal favorite support when playing ADC Varus.
