Updated the items section to be more in-depth! I'll keep updating the guide over time; I want to add some clips of my Varus games to illustrate some things, but I don't have many recordings to work with yet.

I like the guide but there can be some improvements:

Firstly, I agree with Psiguard that there are lot of other alternative items for varus like Blade of the Ruined King, Statikk Shiv, and even Runaan's Hurricane. In addition, I don't think you should exactly build Last Whisper so early and instead build it after your Infinity Edge, since late game is when champions REALLY start to get tanky, of course this is just my opinion and just a prefrence of mine so it's not that big of a deal. Also expand on each item and tell us why its such a good item on Varus.

Next, on your summoners spell section I think you should also add barrier and ignite as options as they are also spells taken a lot of the time by ADCs. In addition I think you should add a more in-depth explanation on why you take those masteries.

Other than that I honestly like the guide and with a bit of editing, and a little BBcode to make it look nice, I'd probably upvote this guide. GL and I hope your guide gets to the top :D

I realized I forgot the item section when I published lol, so it's kinda just tacked on. Gonna go back and update it later.

Hi James. :D

Your cheatsheet could use better organization. Break up your purchase order into smaller sections (choices between items, stages of the game, starting items etc.) and have one example build at the end.

Use 2 Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed instead of your AS marks. AS quints are super OP in 4.5. You'll get more stats out of them.

Do you really get GA as your 3rd item often? I've barely seen GA as a defensive item (usually Banshee's) and even then the defensive item on ADCs is usually 5th or 6th. Third item GA seems situational at best.

No sign of Statikk Shiv. Would you ever build it? Blade of the Ruined King? Your cheatsheet has no mention of enchantments either (up to you if you want to include those).

Spell Weaving / Blade Weaving seem like they'd be really strong on Varus. Then again so are a lot of the other offensive masteries. Something to think about.

When you're coding runes, add "Greater" to the beginning so people see the icon and tooltip for the tier 3 rune. In your runes section you're linking tier 2 runes.

Items section is really short. You might want to go into more detail about why certain items are best for Varus, particularly BT vs BotRK, PD vs SS, etc.

I'll read the rest later, maybe leaving more criticism. :D

Solid guide, turn comment2vote on

You should use your season 3 stats for that first screenshot. I know you have way more games on there..!
