Hey, guys:

Just a quick question about building Varus, as I'm trying to learn to play him. I've been looking up a couple of builds for him, and a common debate that pops up in the (admittedly often trolly) comments is whether Runaan's Hurricane or Phantom Dancer is more effective on him. I feel like PD would synergize more with Infinity Edge, but that's just my speculation. What do y'all think? Also, any general build or playstyle advice for Varus would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Play as a team or lose alone.

Hurricane is a trap item. it looks appealing but in practice it almost never works as well as you want it to. Varus is better off doing an AD caster type build with Bloodthirster and abusing his high ratios on Q and E or doing a crit based build with IE and PD.

rarely will enemy teams be bunched up enough for it to be worthwhile, and if they are; well they'd be dead to your ult and any other AoE ults your team has.

never ever build hurricane

I prefer BT > PD > LW on Varus, but I've also seen IE > PD > LW and BotRK > IE > LW.

Search your feelings; you know it to be true.

Only wood/bronze kids build Hurricane on people. We've established this fact in many earlier threads.

If you build Hurricane on ANYONE you are bad at video games.

RH - Maybe on on-hit bruiser Teemo. But you see, nobody plays on-hit bruiser teemo well.

So PD is just a better pick imo
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!
