[25:45] "He doesn't actually have armor shred" The LW on Varus: "Am I a joke to you?" [26:03] "And maybe that anti-heal" The Rumble in the corner: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@Hilight277]

To be fair Rumble isn’t the best anti heal provider at later stages if not itemized and only 2 star

[@shinzu56]

@@Hilight277 I thought the same thing, but after watching the video, I saw that he was always able to cast on frontline, usually hitting the main tank. Granted, the lobby didn’t have any crazy melee carries, but still, the point stands, Rumble was enough anti-heal.

[@ziontan8454]

I swear everytime I watch 1 video, i log into a game and everyone is playing it…

[@victortran2962]

free kalista it's a first

[@LetHimCook-qq4cz]

I wondered why so many players played Varus until I saw this video.

[@7arooofps]

I've been using this board for days now since Varus is rarely contested and Arcana took a backseat since preservers are highly in demand for most top boards. Now I'm contested by at least 2 people every game since this video came out, thank TFT Ninja

[@alanhe4476]

notably, warmog (and other raw hp options) are weaker on the main tanks (tk, nasus) than resists are, due to the fact that nasus is a shapeshifter and tk arcana is 525/600+ hp, meaning belts should go towards evenshroud and redemption and warmog should be a last option slam if you're angling for a non-blaster line

[@KEEETARO]

why? should those items supposed to be better because they scale with traits?

[@dain1557]

@@KEEETARO because the law of diminishing returns

[@zekdoq]

@@KEEETARO they already have so much hp so another block of hp such as warmogs has less value than utility or resist tank items

[@noahc6804]

warmogs provides percentage health increase as well so this is not true. if you look at build stats for TK and nasus, warmogs is in many of the best builds

[@confusedguy996]

This isn't true, warmogs gives %hp increase which means it scales incredibly well with both shapes and the flat hp that tk's arcana gives, it's also why protectors and crownguard are really good value items on those 2

[@auradood]

How is guard breaker as an item in general? I feel like I never see that item talked about.

[@ink2467]

It's like a giant slayer but a bit weaker. Lots of shield units in this meta, so the dmg amp is almost always active. Problem is it gives health and crit chance - both 99% useless stats on carries. So you only really get the effect, and no base stats, which make it an underwhelming item.

[@lizardltd]

Yeah I was struggling after I got to Emerald for the first time now, and just found this Arcana Varus comp that got me 3 1st places in a row because it's so uncontested. No one plays him so you just see him so quickly in your shop, and with double ie he just melts everything

[@souhiken1165]

feels illegal to be this early

[@PT84]

Thank you for this. The ladder is infested with Faerie and Multi comps

[@doxu_]

As Korean, it's pretty funny that Mortdog&Riot tend to buff Varus next patch LOL

[@avalonnel]

Knew varus overpowered since patched.

[@ahmadafizzubairee9812]

I tried this comp earlier, just to get 5th place xD. Lost to 9 fraerie and a gwen 3. Unlucky timing. I'd argue that Varus still needs to be buffed to cast much more faster xD.

[@tutu-se7ut]

In fact, in Apac 2, Vietnamese gamers play varus much more than Korean players Korea seems to like kalista more

[@duda9803]

R.I.P played it last 2 W. now everyone will play it

[@logansitotube]

fuckkkk.. i dindt have to play it yestewrday.. now im gonna be contested

[@speedhacks9151]

87 hp varus 2 at 4-2 wow amazing build i'm sure it works in every scenario

[@bambusbjorn3756]

Come on man. I've been climbing for a couple days now with this comp cause no one played it. Don't take this away from me 😂😢

[@awesomegamer7036]

I love tft devs, bramble vest, and death blade allmost dead items from last 4 sets, now death blade is good on one unit 😂😂, i dont even remember when was the death blade bis item on any ad carry, the last one i remember apphelos 4 cost in set 5.5

[@danielvicho5338]

akshan set 9

[@awesomegamer7036]

@@danielvicho5338 he could do absolutely fine without even death blade his items were pretty flexible, runan, le, ie guinsoo all fine on him, but Apphelos was haf unit without death blade, without rage blade u can't even touch him without death blade u can't win lobby in set 5

[@ryanmailoor6356]

playing varus was so fun....until I get contested because Frodan made this video. On my way finding another carry i guess

"How this challenger perfectly manipulated a broken silver augment" would be a more fitting title

no

[@williamrupnick5861]

naahhhhhh idc frodan this unit is still ass

[@fookanxo8316]

14:00 can someone explain me why he doesnt want to make his board too strong? Or why he doesnt want to win perfectly and sacrifice 1-2 units?

[@dizknots9357]

he gets extra gold if he either loses or wins with only 3 or less units
