Talk:Varus/@comment-8919271-20130920185040

Actually noone in gold-plat knows how to counter AP Varus xD. And even if they either have dive comp or get some mr, It's either a matter of my teammates' coordination or getting a Void Staff (usually as a 3rd item). I'm at a ~60% winrate right now, that's nothing impressive I guess, but seems good enough to me.

Also, try going botlane with a competent Soraka, I cannot stress about how many Varus' problems she solves; it's really wonderful to play with a good Soraka, especially lategame, with her you can basically murder the enemy team over and over and never die. I doubt she's that important for AD Varus though, because he doesn't benefit from mr shred that much and he doesn't want sustain that much (he has lifesteal anyway).

And yes, botlane APC works because most of people play AD tops, junglers and mids, so you don't have too much magic damage anyway. You just have to stall the lane and farm decently, after that you'll just naturally scale into the mid and lategame.
