Season 3 Update:

Situational Items

Instead of goingwe are going with. The meta is going towards having armor and the passive ability on Randuin's can slow down any melee's that decide to dive you!: Best boots for Varus hands down, the attack speed lets you get extra blight quiver stacks and put out the deeps! Stay away from mercury treads because once you are caught, you are most likely dead so the .25 seconds of less snare time won't help you.: The biggest DPS increase you can buy for Varus. Crit chance + High DPS = Victory!: Attack speed, movement speed, critical hit chance all pair up well with infinity's edge You get one attack speed item slot typically, this is best in slot for killing enemy champs.: Gives you attack damage and armor pen, with our rune setup, we NEED armor pen. LW shreds tanks: This is the anti- "I'm building massive hp and I'll dive you" item. If the enemy team builds hp, you build this. It let's you run away fromwith it's unique ability.: Gives you solid hp/mp boost and gives you the all important spell shield against high burst champs orintiations,ultimates andLAZERS. Get this item in your defensive slot in any game you have a hard time surviving an enemy champions dive/ultimate/skill shot in team fights.: Warmog's is your general defensive item on Varus. It gives you a huge HP boost that can help you survivedives or other enemy melee champions that dive you.: Froze Mallet is very underated in my opinion. If you have the cash, it gives you a comparable hp boost to, also with some AD and it's passive which slows enemies every hit. I like to buy this as my defensive item in games where you have a hard time chasing down enemy champions: Nice Magic Resist boost and great for getting out of snares in team fights. I would only buy this if you keep getting hard cc'd snared by the enemy champs: Great for pushing lanes and the initial hit in a team fight. Ask yourself this, am I focusing on single targets in team fight and not worried about clearing waves? Go with. Do you want to push creep waves/towers? Go with. Both items are very similar depending on what your objectives are.I'm not going to list a bunch of items that don't see TOP level play. These are the best of the best items for Varus in this meta, choose based on situations and don't waste time with inferior items!
