Who Wins
- You lose early poke trades to Varus's superior range and Q damage, but win short trades with Q blind negating his autos.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R zone control, but must respect his R engage potential.
How to Trade
- Use Q to blind during his auto-attack animations, then kite with W movement speed while applying poison damage.
- Focus on short trades where you can disengage before he lands multiple Qs.
Wave Control
- Freeze the wave near your tower to force Varus into dangerous positions for CS, using bushes to break vision for surprise trades.
- After 6, use R to control key areas and deny his safe farming positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his range advantage in open lane without minion cover or bush advantage.
- Avoid getting caught by his R root in open areas where you can't use terrain or mushrooms for escape.
