How to counter Varus

Varus is a versatile marksman who pokes with his charged Q and chains multiple rivals with his ultimate. He is completely immobile, so he struggles against champions that block or dodge his crowd control, out-poke him in the 2v2, or out-scale him.

  • Kog'Maw — He out-ranges and out-DPSes him late, dominating him in long fights if he survives his poke.
