Introduction
Hi everyone, I'm Sos448, and this is my

I would appreciate any and all feedback.
If you are reading this while it is under construction I do ask that you hold back your down vote but don't feel like you need to hold back your up vote.
Thank you.

Runes
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: For 9/10 ADC's these are the best Quints for you, increases your base start damage for that early lane harass and farm.
- greater mark of armor penetration: Late game when the enemey has caught on that they need armor to protect them from you, these will help, along with
Last Whisper make their purchase useless.
Greater Mark of Attack Damage: If you find it hard early game to get good farm then these runes will help you do that.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: Those annoying AP supports (
Sona) can really hurt early game, and late game in team fights they just give you that edge over the enemy APC.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: If you don't find AP supports annoying, then these are better as they give better protection late game but worse protection for the first 10levels or so.
Greater Seal of Armor: What can I say, you will be against the enemy ADC. You don't want scaling armor because they will be able to out poke you early game, it's common sense for these ones.

Ability Explanation
-
Living Vengeance:This is a great passive when you have a clear lane to farm in or even early lane to give you that edge on the enemy farm, or when a fight breaks out. On a champion kill or assist or a minon kill,
Varus gains attack speed for 6 seconds.
-
Piercing Arrow (Q):This is your skill shot, with practice this is a great skill for getting finishing shots and running champions or even stealing buffs and dragon/baron. This is your main harass skill as it has low mana cost and long range.
-
Blighted Quiver (W):With every basic attack the player or minon you hit gains one stack (stacking up to 3 times) when you hit that minon or champion with the stacks you will get extra burst damage, this is good for burst damage. Also the passive on this skill is that your basic attacks do extra magic damage.
-
Hail Of Arrows (E):This skill is debated to be
Varus best harass as it has good range, and slows for you to be more accurate with
Piercing Arrow but as I don't find it hard to land hits with
Piercing Arrow I would disagree. This skill is a good healing debuff and slows enemies in a wide area once it is upgraded.
-
Chain Of Corruption (R):This is
Varus ulti, it is an AOE snare that it game changing! You can turn team fights around in a second with this. The first person that is hit gets snared and then enemies nearby will slowly get snared if they are not careful. What I find good about this skill is in team fights people are so busy they don't notice they are about to get snared and you can use this to your advantage.

Yes it is a bit expensive but the pure damage, crit chance and !!extra crit damage!! is unbeatable. Combine this with ![]() |

There are 4 good things about this item, first is that you get great attack speed for your money, and who doesn't like attack speed? Secondly you get extra crit chance to go with ![]() ![]() |

Any other items I listed at the top of this guide are also fine, this section is purely to explain the 6 most COMMON items for


Supports
Lets look at the common supports. Please note this is just a very brief sum up of each support and then a rating out of 10 on how well I think the support matches with
Varus.

Taric will give armor, heals and stuns. He is a tank and the stun making ![]() ![]() |

I AM NOT A FAN OF ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
SHE CAN SHIELD THE TURRET! Now that's just cool. This is good shield for you and good knock ups that she can just leave in a bush waiting for the right moment. Her ulti can come in very handy but can counter you in a way that you miss your skill shot or your ulti, you need good communication but it does work if you know what you are doing. I give ![]() |

Finally our little fairy ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Tactics
Basic tactics - Before the team fight starts, stay back and do some annoying pokes with




More advance tactics - Get 2 or 3 stacks on you



Harassing tactics - Here's the trick with this, you want to get them low enough so you can kill them in one shot, but if you get them too low, they will go back, and if they aren't low enough then you wont get the kill. I find that people underestimate the power of

Going against supports with heals - This can be annoying as your pokes can become a waste of mana, you need to be able to do more damage than the heal but also use less mana, that's important as you can out sustain the enemy support and he/she will be forced to either heal themselves over the ADC or just go back for mana. When the enemy support goes back, it's a free push, farm and harass for you.

Common Match Ups
![]() |
Her harass has a really long cool down early game, and you do a LOT more damage than she does. Be aggressive! But stay near minons so you don't take free volley to the face. |
![]() |
She is a very good laner and has very good farming skills, luckily for you, in most damage exchanges you can walk away better if you are smart about it, let her ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
I'll sum this up quick, short fights you win, long drawn out fights, you lose. This is due to the DPS output of your skills vs his. |
![]() |
You have better range than him, you need to use this to your advantage. If he uses ![]() |

Summary

Thanks for taking the time to read my guide, I have put a lot of effort into this and I would appreciate any and all advice from you guys.
I'd like to do a huge shout out for jhoijhoi as this is my first guide so I had no idea how to do the bb code or get into the database so her guide to using the code and database really came in handy. Credits to jhoijhoi check her stuff out here.
