@ShinzoNagama Umm why do you THINK you need Zhonya's on AP Varus? Other than some armor, it does very little for you, which is why it has fallen out of favor. Most champs are just going to wait for 1.5 secs and then die when the enemy team turns their attention that way again and the enemy will just ignore you for the duration. Without stacks, your damage is crap so your spells aren't worth trying to use afterwards anyway. At best, it is a momentary delay of your death during which you might get a single AA off. DFG does you a great deal more with the active and CDR for proccing your stacks and having your ult up for whatever you need it. And the active is stupid with W. Because magic damage. :P Get a GA if you are that worried about a defensive item, let them nuke you and then look stupid while all their stuff is on CD and your team demolishes them and you revive. And that STILL leaves room for another item with only 5. Honestly, I'd recommend a BT for some scaling on Q and E (since that's half of AD Varus's AD anyway and it grabs some life steal), but Runaan's absolutely massacres teams. Team up with a Galio or Orianna and combo ult: the stuff of nightmares, even if you only catch 1-3 because that immediately removes them from the fight while your team is wiping them off the map.
