How to Play with Varus as Vladimir in LoL
The Vladimir Varus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Varus, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Vladimir sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Varus helps Vladimir perform poorer in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Vladimir is an ally to Varus, he gets a little drop in his total damage output. This change may indicate that Varus does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Vladimir is played together with Varus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Varus.
Moreover, when Vladimir plays with Varus on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Varus does a decent job of covering Vladimir during teamfights.

When playing cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by grouping Vladimir and Varus together, you will not be granting your other allies enough crowd control. We recommend you include other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Varus ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
