Esses campeões têm ferramentas que geralmente dão a eles vantagem no confronto, sem tornar o matchup impossível de jogar. Eles podem ter mais alcance, mais capacidade de aguentar sua ofensiva ou mais formas de responder aos seus engajamentos. Você vai precisar adaptar sua abordagem e escolher com cuidado os momentos em que aceita a luta.

Sivir

Sivir

spell_shield_timingpoke_mitigation Sivir holds a massive advantage because her Spell Shield reactively negates your Chain of Corruption, stripping away your primary tool for securing kills or self-peeling. Additionally, her Ricochet bounces make hiding in the wave unsafe, while her Fleet of Foot passive gives her the burst of speed needed to dodge your Piercing Arrow charges, turning your long-range threat into a guessing game.

Sivir

Por quê

Sivir holds a massive advantage because her Spell Shield reactively negates your Chain of Corruption, stripping away your primary tool for securing kills or self-peeling. Additionally, her Ricochet bounces make hiding in the wave unsafe, while her Fleet of Foot passive gives her the burst of speed needed to dodge your Piercing Arrow charges, turning your long-range threat into a guessing game.

Impacto na lane

This interaction shifts the lane pressure entirely to Sivir. She can aggressively shove waves using Ricochet and Boomerang Blade, knowing she is immune to your ultimate setup. You are forced to farm under turret, bleeding plate gold, because attempting to lock her down with Chain of Corruption only results in her getting healed and gaining movement speed, leaving you vulnerable to a counter-engage.

Como jogar

To survive and outplay Sivir, you must treat your Chain of Corruption as a forbidden button until her Spell Shield is burned. Instead, use Hail of Arrows to apply a slow and force her to reactively pop her shield, or charge Piercing Arrow and cancel the release to bait it out. Only unleash your ultimate during the twenty-second window when her shield is on cooldown, maximizing your Blighted Quiver burst.

Esses confrontos são, acima de tudo, duelos de execução: os dois campeões têm formas reais de levar vantagem. Uma habilidade importante esquivada, um engajamento bem antecipado ou um erro de posicionamento podem ser suficientes para decidir o duelo. Conhecer o matchup e reconhecer as janelas de ação certas faz toda a diferença.

Ashe

Ashe

cc_clashburst_threat This lane is a pure skill duel of ranged skillshots and ultimate timing. While Ashe seeks to wear you down with Volley and freeze you from afar with Enchanted Crystal Arrow, your strength lies in retaliating with Piercing Arrow and initiating a faster burst. Your Chain of Corruption acts instantly to lock her down for a quick kill, whereas her ultimate relies on distance to maximize its stun duration. Ver detalhes

Your Chain of Corruption acts instantly to lock her down for a quick kill, whereas her ultimate relies on distance to maximize its stun duration.

Impacto na lane

You both struggle with mobility, meaning every trade hinges on landing poke. Ashe uses Frost Shot to slow your retreats, making you vulnerable to her Ranger's Focus barrage. Meanwhile, your Hail of Arrows reduces her healing and slows her in return, matching her push. If either of you misses their signature crowd control ultimate, the other player immediately secures total control over the lane's pressure.

Como jogar

Stand behind your minion wave to block Volley, then immediately charge Piercing Arrow while she is on cooldown. If she activates Ranger's Focus, do not take extended auto-attack trades; instead, use Hail of Arrows to slow her and back off. Always hold Chain of Corruption until she attempts to cast Enchanted Crystal Arrow at close range, using your faster projectile speed to interrupt her offensive momentum and burst her down with Blighted Quiver active.

Jhin

Jhin

pokeskillshot_dodge This matchup is a pure horizontal sniper battle where the lane pivots on Whisper. When Jhin fires his fourth guaranteed critical shot, his temporary passive movement speed burst is his primary tool to sidestep your Piercing Arrow. If you release your arrow too predictably, he will easily dodge it and instantly chain his own Deadly Flourish to root you in place, turning a neutral poke trade into a lethal burst window.

If you release your arrow too predictably, he will easily dodge it and instantly chain his own Deadly Flourish to root you in place, turning a neutral poke trade into a lethal burst window.

Impacto na lane

Because both of you possess immense long-range clear via Piercing Arrow and Dancing Grenade, the minion wave rarely remains static. Every trade is played at maximum range. If Jhin successfully baits your Piercing Arrow and retaliates with Deadly Flourish, you lose all lane priority, forcing you to farm under turret. Conversely, landing your arrow on him while his Whisper speed is down establishes dominant chip damage that denies his recall timings.

Como jogar

Do not charge Piercing Arrow when Jhin is holding his fourth Whisper shot, as his impending movement speed makes you miss. Instead, wait for him to waste that final bullet on a minion. The moment his speed boost decays, channel your arrow or slow him down with Hail of Arrows to guarantee the hit. If he tries to channel Curtain Call, immediately look to interrupt him with Chain of Corruption or use the root to lock him down before he can fire.

Draven

Draven

dodge_skillshotsall_in This matchup is a pure test of spacing and reflexes between your long-range artillery and Draven's raw threat. Everything hinges on whether Draven can activate Blood Rush to outmaneuver your Piercing Arrow and Chain of Corruption. If he successfully dodges these abilities, his high-damage Spinning Axe attacks will easily shred you in an all-in, while hitting your skillshots neutralizes his aggressive lane dominance.

If he successfully dodges these abilities, his high-damage Spinning Axe attacks will easily shred you in an all-in, while hitting your skillshots neutralizes his aggressive lane dominance.

Impacto na lane

The lane remains highly volatile with constant tension around minion waves. You must use Hail of Arrows to disrupt Draven's pathing when he tries to catch his Spinning Axe, forcing him to choose between losing his damage source or taking heavy damage. Failing to establish this distance allows Draven to chase you down with Stand Aside, triggering League of Draven cashouts that completely snowball the dragon lane.

Como jogar

To win, never release Piercing Arrow blindly. Instead, aim it directly at the landing indicators of his Spinning Axe when his Blood Rush is on cooldown, forcing him into predictable movement. Hold your Chain of Corruption defensively; never fire it as an initiator unless Draven has already wasted his movement speed buff. If he activates his speed to rush you, drop Hail of Arrows directly on yourself to slow his advance and disengage safely.

Corki

Corki

range_disadvantagecc_threat Varus outranges and out-pokes Corki in this matchup. While Corki relies on hitting Phosphorus Bomb and stacking Missile Barrage to trade, your Piercing Arrow combined with Blighted Quiver deals far more devastating poke from a safer distance. The crucial advantage lies in your ultimate: Chain of Corruption can catch Corki mid-air during his Valkyrie dash, completely shutting down his only escape tool and exposing him to a lethal follow-up.

Corki

Por quê

Varus outranges and out-pokes Corki in this matchup. While Corki relies on hitting Phosphorus Bomb and stacking Missile Barrage to trade, your Piercing Arrow combined with Blighted Quiver deals far more devastating poke from a safer distance. The crucial advantage lies in your ultimate: Chain of Corruption can catch Corki mid-air during his Valkyrie dash, completely shutting down his only escape tool and exposing him to a lethal follow-up.

Impacto na lane

Because you dominate the range dynamic, you easily secure wave control. Corki is forced to use Phosphorus Bomb or Gatling Gun on minions rather than on you, draining his mana. When his package Hextech Munitions is inactive, you can aggressively push him under tower. He cannot safely use Valkyrie forward to trade because the constant threat of your Chain of Corruption forces him into a defensive posture.

Como jogar

Position yourself diagonally to the minion wave to align clear snipes with Piercing Arrow without taking return damage from Missile Barrage. Keep your distance when Corki carries his Hextech Munitions package. Crucially, never initiate a trade with your ultimate. Instead, bait his defensive Valkyrie by charging Piercing Arrow, and immediately release Chain of Corruption to intercept him mid-dash. If you miss, immediately back off.

Caitlyn

Caitlyn

skillshot_dodgespacing This matchup is a long-range battle of attrition where you hold the upper hand. While Caitlyn relies on her high basic attack range and Piltover Peacemaker to chip away at you, your Piercing Arrow outranges her and inflicts far heavier damage when charged. Her primary defense against your ultimate, Chain of Corruption, is her 90 Caliber Net, meaning she must constantly split her focus between dodging your snipes and saving her movement tool.

While Caitlyn relies on her high basic attack range and Piltover Peacemaker to chip away at you, your Piercing Arrow outranges her and inflicts far heavier damage when charged. Her primary defense against your ultimate, Chain of Corruption, is her 90 Caliber Net, meaning she must constantly split her focus between dodging your snipes and saving her movement tool.

Impacto na lane

Because your poke is deadlier, you can easily control the minion waves. Caitlyn cannot safely set up her Yordle Snap Trap line without exposing herself to a fully charged Piercing Arrow. You will consistently force her to use her healing fruits or recall early, giving you massive tower plate pressure and locking her down under her own turret while you safely secure dragon priority for your team.

Como jogar

Position yourself diagonally to the minion wave to ensure your Piercing Arrow hits her directly without its damage being reduced by passing through minions. When trading, activate Blighted Quiver to maximize the burst on your arrows. Hold your Chain of Corruption until you see her waste 90 Caliber Net offensively, or use it from the brush to catch her off-guard, preventing her from reacting in time to escape the root.

Akshan

Akshan

cc_interruptpoke_pressure The matchup revolves entirely around Akshan's mobility and Varus's ability to shut it down. Akshan relies heavily on Heroic Swing to engage, reposition, or escape. However, Varus holds a massive advantage because his ultimate, Chain of Corruption, can hit Akshan mid-air during his swing. This immediately halts his momentum, leaving him completely rooted, unable to finish his trajectory, and exposed to massive burst. Ver detalhes

However, Varus holds a massive advantage because his ultimate, Chain of Corruption, can hit Akshan mid-air during his swing. This immediately halts his momentum, leaving him completely rooted, unable to finish his trajectory, and exposed to massive burst.

Impacto na lane

Because Akshan knows you can lock him down, he cannot freely use Heroic Swing to clear waves or trade aggressively. This gives you control over the minion wave, letting you stack Living Vengeance on minions to easily push him under tower. You can constantly chip away at his health with Piercing Arrow and Hail of Arrows whenever he steps up to use Avengerang, forcing him into bad recall timings.

Como jogar

Never initiate trades with Chain of Corruption while Akshan has his swing available; instead, hold your ultimate as an active counter-engage tool. Position yourself near terrain to bait his Heroic Swing, and the moment he hooks onto a wall, fire your ultimate directly into his path. Once he is rooted, stack three stacks of Blighted Quiver with basic attacks before detonating them with a fully charged Piercing Arrow to secure the kill.

range_disadvantagedodge_skillshots You command this matchup by exploiting Ezreal's poor wave clear.

This perpetual pressure forces him to hold onto Arcane Shift solely to react to your Chain of Corruption, effectively neutralizing his ability to play aggressively or trade effectively.

Impacto na lane

Keeping the wave permanently shoved denies Ezreal any lane priority and chips away at his tower. While he is locked down trying to secure last hits, you can freely charge Piercing Arrow to poke him down. Furthermore, keeping a thick minion wave between you completely blocks his Essence Flux and Mystic Shot attempts, keeping your health bar completely safe.

Como jogar

Always position behind your minion wave to absorb his Mystic Shot. Cast Hail of Arrows on the caster minions and Ezreal simultaneously to slow him and secure the push. Never throw Chain of Corruption blindly; instead, hold it to force him to keep Arcane Shift on cooldown. If he ever uses his blink offensively, instantly activate Blighted Quiver and release a fully charged Piercing Arrow to chunk his health bar.

Miss Fortune

range_disadvantagecc_setup Varus dominates this matchup because his long-range poke outclasses Miss Fortune's trading pattern. While she relies on landing a clean bounce from Double Up, you can easily out-range her with Piercing Arrow. More importantly, Miss Fortune's ultimate, Bullet Time, forces her to stand completely still. This makes her an incredibly easy target for Chain of Corruption, which completely shuts down her primary teamfight damage source from a safe distance. Ver detalhes

More importantly, Miss Fortune's ultimate, Bullet Time, forces her to stand completely still. This makes her an incredibly easy target for Chain of Corruption, which completely shuts down her primary teamfight damage source from a safe distance.

Impacto na lane

This poke advantage translates into total control over the minion waves. By combining Hail of Arrows to slow her down and pop Blighted Quiver stacks, you force her to play defensively behind her minions. Miss Fortune cannot safely step up to use Love Tap on the wave without taking massive damage, securing you early tower pressure and allowing your support to roam freely while she is stuck under turret.

Como jogar

Always position yourself outside the diagonal bounce angle of her Double Up to avoid cheap poke. During skirmishes, save Chain of Corruption specifically to react to her Bullet Time; do not throw it preemptively. If she starts her ultimate, immediately lock her down with your root, then quickly follow up with a fully charged Piercing Arrow. If you miss your ultimate, immediately back away using Hail of Arrows to slow her advance and reset the fight.

If Lucian successfully dodges these heavy-hitting spells, his Lightslinger passive allows him to burst you down in quick skirmishes. Otherwise, Varus's poke safely dismantles Lucian's shorter range.

Impacto na lane

You hold the lane priority because Hail of Arrows and Piercing Arrow keep Lucian from stepping up to the wave without taking heavy damage. To contest, Lucian must attempt aggressive dashes. This constant threat forces Lucian to play defensively, losing gold under his tower, unless he finds a flank or catches you out of position when your ultimate is on cooldown.

Como jogar

Never launch Piercing Arrow or Chain of Corruption proactively while Lucian has Relentless Pursuit available. Instead, abuse your auto-attack range and Hail of Arrows to apply Blighted Quiver stacks. Force him to use his dash defensively or to close the gap. Once he commits Relentless Pursuit, immediately fire your ultimate or a fully charged arrow to lock him down and pop the stacks for an easy kill.

Because her engage is highly predictable and reliant on this speed boost, you can easily shut down her approach. Ver detalhes

Because her engage is highly predictable and reliant on this speed boost, you can easily shut down her approach.

Impacto na lane

You will constantly push Kai'Sa under her turret using Hail of Arrows and long-range Piercing Arrow snipes. She cannot contest the wave because standing near her minions leaves her vulnerable to your poke, while isolating herself makes her an easy target for Chain of Corruption. This pressure forces her to waste Void Seeker just to secure last hits, preventing her from ever building Second Skin stacks on you or finding comfortable recall windows.

Como jogar

Position yourself behind your own minion wave to dilute the damage of her Icathian Rain if she tries to slide forward. Always hold your Chain of Corruption and fully charged Piercing Arrow until you see her activate Supercharge. Once she commits her movement speed, aim your skillshots slightly behind her projected path to catch her, or detonate Blighted Quiver stacks with Hail of Arrows to slow her down first. If she uses Killer Instinct to dive, immediately drop your ultimate directly onto yourself.

Impacto na lane

You dictate the wave state by constantly threatening her with Piercing Arrow and Hail of Arrows. Because Xayah must step up to drop feathers with Double Daggers, you can punish her every time she tries to farm. This constant damage pressure forces her to play defensively, preventing her from activating Deadly Plumage for aggressive trades, which ultimately starves her of gold and secures you early tower plates.

Como jogar

Stand diagonally to the minion wave to ensure her Double Daggers and Clean Cuts feathers don't line up behind you, keeping you safe from Bladecaller. When trading, apply Blighted Quiver stacks with basic attacks, then detonate them with Hail of Arrows. Never initiate a fight with Chain of Corruption; instead, use your basic attacks and Piercing Arrow to force her to panic-cast Featherstorm defensively. Once she lands, she is a sitting duck for your ultimate.

dodge_ccburst_clash Varus dominates this lane by abusing his range advantage before Tristana can scale. The matchup hinges entirely on how Tristana uses Rocket Jump to evade your Chain of Corruption.

She cannot match your long-range Piercing Arrow poke without risking a lethal counter-engage. Ver detalhes

This range differential allows you to dictate the wave state from safety. By using Hail of Arrows, you can simultaneously slow Tristana and ruin her attempts to farm under tower, where her passive Draw a Bead makes last-hitting chaotic. Tristana is forced to play defensively, bleeding health to your Piercing Arrow, which delays her scaling and prevents her from securing early dragon priority for her team.

Como jogar

Never throw Chain of Corruption preemptively; hold it as an absolute deterrent. Stand near your caster minions to bait her forward. If she initiates with Rocket Jump to apply Explosive Charge, fire Chain of Corruption mid-air or immediately upon her landing to cancel her momentum. Follow up with Hail of Arrows to reduce her healing and trigger your Blighted Quiver stacks with a fully charged Piercing Arrow for an easy execution.

You command early wave pressure because your ranged attacks and Hail of Arrows force Samira to farm under tower, exposing her to constant Piercing Arrow snipes. However, if she successfully blocks your ultimate, the dynamic flips instantly. She will aggressively dash forward using Wild Rush to stack her Daredevil Impulse up to Inferno Trigger, turning your lane dominance into a deadly grey screen.

Como jogar

Force her hand by charging Piercing Arrow to bait out her Blade Whirl before you ever cast Chain of Corruption. Once her defensive spin is on its long cooldown, you can freely unleash your ultimate to root her in place. If she initiates with Wild Rush while her protective barrier is still available, immediately disengage horizontally to avoid her Daredevil Impulse knock-up, and delay your crowd control until her spin ends.

This allows you to easily charge up a maximum-range Piercing Arrow and detonate any Blighted Quiver stacks without her being able to dodge.

Impacto na lane

In the early levels, Kalista tries to secure wave priority by executing minions with Rend. You can easily disrupt this rhythm by throwing Hail of Arrows to slow her dashes and apply Grievous Wounds, reducing any healing she relies on. Because she must constantly move to trade, your long-range poke forces her into awkward retreat angles. Once you unlock your ultimate, she cannot step up to contest the wave without risking a fatal immobilization.

Como jogar

To win this matchup, never throw your Piercing Arrow blindly while Kalista is hopping around with Martial Poise. Instead, hold your Piercing Arrow and use your basic attacks to apply Blighted Quiver stacks. Wait for her to commit forward to throw Pierce, then immediately lock her down with Chain of Corruption. While she is rooted, fully charge your arrow for a guaranteed burst. If she uses Fate's Call to save her support or engage, retreat safely and reset your positioning behind your minion wave.

Because Twitch fears your ultimate, he must play far behind his minions, severely limiting his ability to use Venom Cask to contest the wave. You can easily keep him pinned under his turret. This allows you to safely charge Piercing Arrow from maximum distance, chipping his health down without fear of retaliation, which forces him into terrible recall timings and loses him turret plates.

Como jogar

Always stand just behind your own ranged minions to bait Twitch into revealing himself with Ambush. Never throw Chain of Corruption blindly into the fog; hold it specifically for the moment he appears. If he opens with Venom Cask to slow you, immediately deploy Hail of Arrows at your feet to apply Grievous Wounds and slow his retreat, then follow up with Blighted Quiver empowered basic attacks to pop his stacks.

Vayne is forced to waste her mana and Tumble just to secure last hits under tower. This pressure chips away at her health and tower plates, keeping her trapped in lane and unable to assist her jungler in the river.

Como jogar

Constantly push with Hail of Arrows to keep Vayne trapped. When she goes to hit a minion under her turret, immediately charge Piercing Arrow and aim it at her feet; the narrow terrain makes it incredibly hard for her to dodge even with Tumble. Hold your Chain of Corruption to lock her down if she tries to turn with Final Hour, and always stand away from terrain to deny her a stun from Condemn.

She is forced to play defensively behind her minions to shield herself from Chain of Corruption. This constant pressure denies her Get Excited! triggers, keeping her trapped under tower and bleeding gold.

Como jogar

To secure your lead, charge Piercing Arrow from the brush to catch her off-guard when she stops to auto-attack. If Jinx tries to farm from afar using Fishbones, punish her with Hail of Arrows to slow her down and reduce any healing. Hold Chain of Corruption for the moment she overextends or when she tries to cast Zap!, as her self-root during that animation makes her a sitting duck for an easy ultimate-led execution.

Como counterar este campeão

Ângulo de counter

Contrariar o Varus não se resume apenas a desviar do Q dele. O verdadeiro objetivo é interromper a preparação que torna seus ataques à distância perigosos: impedir que ele carregue livremente, forçá-lo a usar sua ultimate defensivamente ou se comprometer com um all-in antes que ele tenha desgastado a rota e garantido a visão. O Varus fica especialmente vulnerável quando precisa olhar em uma única direção para carregar seu ataque. Boas estratégias contra ele exploram esse momento: seja por meio de um engajamento direto, dano explosivo ou pressão na rota que o impeça de converter seus ataques à distância em controle de objetivos. Se o Varus jogar com facilidade em pontos de estrangulamento, a partida rapidamente se torna difícil.

Contexto do patch

Varus tem dificuldades contra campeões que reduzem o tempo entre a decisão e o contato. Seu E causa desaceleração, sua ultimate imobiliza, seu Q ameaça à distância, mas tudo isso exige uma antecipação prévia. Quando o inimigo avança rapidamente, força seu Flash ou ataca de um ângulo que ele não consegue cobrir enquanto carrega, Varus perde seu melhor recurso: o controle antes do combate. As contra-ofensivas mais eficazes, portanto, não tentam vencer uma longa guerra de ataques à distância. Elas comprimem o espaço, punem suas animações e forçam Varus a escolher entre atacar e sobreviver.

Leitura rápida

  • Atacar o Varus enquanto ele carrega o Q costuma ser melhor do que simplesmente esperar que ele atire.
  • Usar sua habilidade definitiva na defesa antes de um objetivo reduz significativamente sua capacidade de criar uma cobertura.
  • Ataques curtos com tudo, ângulos laterais e pressão na linha impedem que ele encontre seu ritmo de ataque.

Arquétipos de counter

Engajamento direto e bloqueio da faixa

Varus quer criar distância, carregar o Q e escolher o momento em que se tornará uma ameaça. Um confronto direto quebra essa lógica: se ele for pego antes de lançar o E ou usar a ultimate, não terá nenhum dash para se recuperar na troca. Leona ilustra bem esse problema, pois ela transforma um pequeno erro de posicionamento em um all-in imediato. Mesmo que Varus tenha ataques à distância, ele precisa respeitar constantemente o alcance de ataque, o que reduz sua capacidade de avançar e pressionar a rota.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Varus deveria jogar mais perto da própria torre, manter a tecla E pressionada para retardar a aproximação do adversário, em vez de usá-la para ataques de longo alcance, e carregar o Q apenas quando o ataque inicial estiver fora de alcance ou já tiver sido usado. Sua habilidade definitiva geralmente precisa ficar disponível como um recurso para se defender contra ataques all-in.

Acesso em rajada e à linha de fundo

Varus é perigoso enquanto conseguir manter as ameaças à sua frente. Assassinos ou personagens com dano explosivo que chegam até a posição dele mudam completamente a equação: eles não precisam que ele erre o Q, mas o forçam a sobreviver a um curto intervalo de tempo. Zed é especialmente problemático porque Varus muitas vezes precisa escolher entre usar a ultimate para criar uma jogada ou guardá-la para impedir a execução. Se ele perder o Flash ou a Stasis antes de um objetivo, fica muito mais difícil usar seu poke com segurança.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. O Varus deve acompanhar a posição do adversário antes de cada Q carregado. Se ele não conseguir enxergar o assassino, não deve avançar para atacar à distância. Stasis, Exhaust ou Barrier ganham importância, e a ultimate deve ser guardada para impedir a entrada do adversário, em vez de ser usada para tentar uma captura arriscada.

A pressão na lateral e as jogadas que quebram seu ritmo

Varus gosta de rotas em que possa preparar seus ataques e escolher os momentos certos para atacar. Adversários que forçam trocas mais rápidas ou simples o impedem de jogar no seu ritmo preferido. Lucian pode encurtar a troca, Jhin pode punir trajetórias previsíveis e Miss Fortune pode disputar a onda sem se expor por muito tempo. Essa pressão força Varus a usar feitiços para sobreviver ou controlar a onda, em vez de guardá-los para preparar um objetivo ou construir uma vantagem real.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Varus deveria aceitar jogar algumas jogadas com mais calma. Ele precisa economizar mana, evitar cargas de Q excessivamente ambiciosas e procurar causar dano à distância quando o adversário der o último golpe ou quando seu support puder cobrir o espaço.

Matchups prioritários

Leona

Leona é um confronto prioritário a ser compreendido, pois ela ataca exatamente o ponto fraco de Varus: a necessidade dele de tempo. Ela não está tentando vencer uma guerra de ataques à distância; ela está tentando transformar uma carga do Q ou um passo a mais em um confronto total. Varus deve, portanto, se adaptar aos tempos de recarga de Leona antes de se preocupar com seu próprio dano. Se seu E ou sua ultimate forem usados muito cedo, Leona pode forçar o próximo confronto com pouca resistência.

Zed

O Zed muda a forma como o Varus deve usar seu kit. Em muitos confrontos, a habilidade definitiva pode ser usada para iniciar o combate ou atingir um alvo deslocado. Contra o Zed, esse botão muitas vezes se torna um garantia de sobrevivência. A questão não é apenas acertar o Q antes do combate, mas evitar o ângulo em que o Varus está carregando, com o olhar voltado para outro lugar e sem resposta imediata. Um bom timing e posicionamento do Stasis são tão importantes quanto o dano causado.

Erros comuns contra ele

Erros comuns contra ele

  • Esperar passivamente que o Varus erre o Q, em vez de ameaçá-lo durante a investida.
  • Avançar pelos corredores sem visão, proporcionando ao Varus as melhores oportunidades de ataque e os melhores ângulos para usar sua habilidade definitiva.
  • Usar o “engage” na linha de frente enquanto o Varus ainda tem a habilidade definitiva e pode punir uma entrada em grupo.
  • Permitir que o Varus transforme uma rota neutra em um cerco livre, pois a onda nunca é disputada cedo o suficiente.
  • Subestimar sua habilidade E: o efeito de desaceleração e a redução da regeneração de vida podem ser suficientes para perder um confronto ou fracassar em uma retirada.

Notas do coach

  • Contra o Varus, a melhor defesa geralmente é alterar o ritmo da luta. Não dê a ele trinta segundos para carregar o Q, posicionar o E e escolher sua ultimate.
  • Se você forçar o Flash dele antes de dragon, não recue mentalmente: essa costuma ser a verdadeira janela para o próximo ataque, mesmo que ele ainda tenha vida.

FAQ

Como se lida com o Varus na rota?

Você deve atacá-lo enquanto ele prepara seu ataque, não apenas depois que ele errar. Durante o carregamento do Q, o Varus costuma reduzir sua liberdade de movimento e revelar suas intenções. Se o seu campeão puder iniciar o combate, trocar golpes rápidos ou disputar a onda naquele momento, você o força a escolher entre atacar ou recuar. Quanto mais cedo você quebrar o ritmo da lane dele, menos ele poderá se preparar para os objetivos com mana, HP e prioridade.

É sempre recomendável atacar o Varus assim que você o avistar?

Não, porque o Varus pode transformar um ataque mal planejado em uma situação vantajosa com a habilidade definitiva dele, especialmente em um corredor. Você deve iniciar o combate quando o ângulo de fuga dele estiver limitado, quando o support dele não puder protegê-lo ou quando a habilidade definitiva dele já tiver sido forçada. O objetivo não é correr em linha reta na direção dele, mas reduzir o espaço onde ele possa carregar o Q e punir sua aproximação antes do contato.

Por que os pontos de estrangulamento são perigosos contra o Varus?

Os pontos de estrangulamento tornam o Varus muito mais fácil de jogar. Quando vários inimigos passam pelo mesmo corredor, fica mais difícil se esquivar do Q dele, o E dele retarda o avanço em várias rotas e a habilidade definitiva dele pode se espalhar ou causar pânico coletivo. Contra ele, é melhor entrar por vários ângulos sempre que possível, colocar visão antes de se agrupar e evitar iniciar o objetivo a partir de uma posição já comprimida.

Como se joga contra o Varus depois que ele consegue a Muramana?

Assim que o Muramana estiver ativo, você deve parar de permitir que ele tenha trocas fáceis antes dos objetivos. Absorver o Q e o E dele se torna muito mais difícil, então a solução está no ritmo da partida: force uma rotação rápida, ameace o flanco dele ou inicie o combate antes que ele tenha lançado duas ou três habilidades. Se você deixá-lo atacar livremente durante a preparação, entrará na luta com HP insuficiente para disputar a batalha adequadamente.
