Varus Champion Spotlight

[quote=cooper56]Do his abilites do that much dmg?!?! Seriously his ad at start is so fucke low... He's as low as kogmaw at start almost lowest in game![/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]Kinda disappointing to see another attack speed passive... Riot's creative juices are running low it seems. Besides that, looks great.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Land a fully charged Q, win your lane. That's how all my varus games have been going.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]Well an ad carry has really only a few things that might excell them. As is one of the major ones. Ad a second, lifesteal/sustain a third. There is only a couple of attack speed passives in the game, compared to say sustainability. He will most likely be an ad caster and as such he will use skills and then his aas won't be as potent while everything on cd...[/quote]

[quote=Senac]Phreak didn't jungle him. What's this? Lol.. Looks like an interesting champion that I won't buy. A possible counter to a lot of AP mid champs, I don't know. He has the range, but most of the time you'll be able to dodge his Q in lane. His healing reduction seems like it could fuck up Vlad and the like though.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]I can see this character in tournies in the future. Such a high skillcap/reward kind of champ. Not the easiest to play it looks like, but damn. Powerful solo and great teamfight dynamic, very balanced.[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice]the only way he could be useful as an AD carry would be if his W and passive have decent numbers/scaling. otherwise he will be garbage. i can see him working as a caster but would need to see his ratios first.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]He seems to be an Ez kind of Caster, highly dependent on hitting them skillshots to do great damage, like ranged talon.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]^^ harsh[/quote]

[quote=Opaque_Shadow][quote=JEFFY40HANDS] [quote=Opaque_Shadow] I see the glorious possibilities he has for the jungle. Yes he is pretty slow, but with the q high range, depending on his ult cool down he could lock people up from the bush pretty easily and use his q to seal the deal without turret diving, [[boots of swiftness]] or MS Quints could fix any movement problems assuming that is necessary. He could also work as an AP jungler to max out the damage from his abilities, thought I don't know if that will be optimal considering his passive... open with ult on gank target, auto attack, then use his slow to max damage output, then use q to put the last nail in the coffin if needed. [/quote] problems ASIDE from his speed and lack of durability for clearing the jungle, his cool downs are long early game, he has no hard CC pre 6. So unlike Shyv who can speed herself up, udyr who can speed himself up and stun, nocturne who can get bonus MS and has a fear, mundo who can spam the everloving crap out of cleavers, you're looking at a champion who has no way of assuring a kill pre 6, EVEN if you land his hail of arrows you're still looking at an easily avoided champion. But hey whatever blows your skirt up :P [/quote] There are plenty of junglers who have no hard cc pre 6, [[malphite]], and sustain/ability to avoid counter jungling on some champs is also terrible, sadly [[rammus]] cant handle an early invade. And the cool dows suprisingly dont make a huge difference, Stonewall's jungle vid of him on youtube showed that he can do fairly well. I'm not sayin he is going to be a 2100 elo tournament level jungler, all I'm saying is his gank potential post 6 and damage output could make him very powerful in lower rank, more fun oriented games. Plus random stun arrows from the bushes would be wonderful for making people rage. On the whole he would probably be b rank jungler, many weaknesses, but with the right skill setand team comp he could annihilate in ganks.[/quote]
