How to Play Varus in ARAM Mayhem

You play an attack-speed Varus here: stay at range, stack Blight with basic attacks and detonate it with Piercing Arrow (Q) or Hail of Arrows (E) to cut your cooldowns. Throw Chain of Corruption (R) into a grouped team so the root spreads between champions and adds more Blight. Blade of The Ruined King and Runaan's Hurricane push you toward on-hit damage, so keep attacking between ability casts.
