How to play it

✓

Respect his range

The source flags this as a hard, opponent-favoured lane: respect his ranged poke (Q) and don't step into a fight he gets to control.

✓

Max E, points in Q

Per the notes, put 2 points into Q first, then max E: leaning on your ghouls and E to trade and farm instead of walking him down.

✓

W wall for space

Three points into W is optional: the wall buys space and blocks his line of engage in a lane you're behind in.

✕

Never try to out-trade Varus head-on: the source rates this a hard, opponent-favoured lane, so play for farm and picks, not the straight 1v1.
