How to Beat Varus as Miss Fortune (ADC)

The Miss Fortune versus Varus matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Miss Fortune deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Varus has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Varus, ranking 13th (versus 17th for Miss Fortune) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Miss Fortune ADC versus Varus ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Miss Fortune player to maintain constant pressure on Varus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Miss Fortune tips:

  • Miss Fortune ramps up speed if she hasn't recently taken damage. Avoid getting hit to move very fast.
  • Use Double Up on the furthest enemy minion if enemy champions are hiding in back; it will bounce to them for lots of damage.
  • Make sure to utilize Love Tap while Strut is on cooldown to maximize the active's availability.

Playing Against Varus

  • If you are affected by Blight, Varus' abilities will deal extra damage to you.
  • When he gets a kill or assist, Varus temporarily gains Attack Speed and is much more dangerous.
  • You'll get bound in place if a tendril from Varus' ultimate, Chain of Corruption, reaches you. You can cause the tendril to die however by running far enough away from it.
