Guide to Countering Singed as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Singed

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.

Advice to Win Against Singed

Keep your distance to avoid being Flung back into Singed's allies.

Singed needs to run close to your team to be effective. Try to take advantage of this by using crowd control effects on him while attacking his allies.

Be careful when chasing Singed. He's very difficult to bring down, and can leave his Poison Trail to damage you in your pursuit.
