Varus Matchups Overview
Varus General information
Varus tips and tricks
Try to poke the enemy down with your E and Q before committing to a fight.
Delay team fights while you harass the enemy with your Q. Once an enemy champion overextended, cast your Ultimate R to catch them out of position.
Never leave your team's side as you will be easy pickings for an Assassin or Bruiser. Stick with your Support throughout the later stages of the game.
