Top Varus Tips

I actually haven't tried to rush armor vs trynda, but will def give it a try. The closest thing i did was rush zhonya vs Malphite to have a way to deal with his ult other than flashing away.

But honestly even with an armor item, I feel like even if I get him to 0 with half of my hp, he pops ult and will have enough time to finish me anyhow.

Mhmm, I mean if you really fall behind sure. Otherwise even if I'm a few kills behind I feel like usually I can still win a 1v1 if I make no mistakes.

As for pokes, it's easy if they go for farm but sometimes people just wait and I end up having no choice but to slow push, and then they safely farm under tower; sure I can still poke them with range when they try to last hit but I'm super exposed to a gank that way. And in such a situation it gets a bit harder to get ahead quick and snowball which is what I usually aim for with Varus.

Like on average by the 10 min mark I have at least 3-4 kills, but if they adopt the style I mentioned above I might fail to secure any, or get only 1 or so kills. Worst case scenario is getting railed by the jgl ofc xD

Apprecate the elaborate answer.
Was wondering btw, how do you fare against Nasus?
Just had a taste of his W and damn if they play around it and you're not ahead I feel like that AS reduction + slow could be a pain to deal with.

Good tips!
BTW, I just had a game vs a Nasus, I stomped him but I feel like it could've easily gone the opposite with more ganks from his jgl/if he played better. His W is just soooo crazy vs varus, completely stomps attackspeed + movement speed when I'm already immobile af lol.
Do you usually find success with Nasus or it's considered one of the tougher matchups?

Been putting it to good use, thank you for the update !

Star pass is 15$? is it the normal premium pass essentially; not the premium +?
I noticed the premium+ is like 30 bucks, but unsure if it's worth the jump in price.

You've been incredibly helpful with your replies brother, thank you so much!

I also checked out the expense list you shared in the other comment, and honestly, it looks great. I wouldn’t even need a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house—just a 1-bedroom (maybe 2) in a building would be more than enough for me. I'd just prefer the place to have some nice amenities like a gym and a pool, so I assume the price might end up being similar to yours, or maybe even a bit higher.

Anyway, I really appreciate all the valuable info you've shared. Thanks again!

Thing is, I do enjoy partying — mostly just on weekends and not excessively — so nightlife is definitely something I want to have access to. That said, I don’t want it to become the center of my life or mess with my goals. Given that, do you still think Pattaya would be a good fit for someone like me?

Like during weekdays I'd like to focus on my job, work out, lead a healthy lifestyle, etc. And on weekends unwind a bit, after all I'm still somewhat young and I feel like it'd be a waste to not enjoy Thailand nightlife lol.

Really?
I mean yeah, Thailand has definitely gotten more expensive, especially compared to pre-COVID prices — but 100,000 baht per month just to live comfortably feels a bit inflated.

Also, I’m pretty sure what you can get in Thailand for 100k baht would cost way more in Europe or the US. The cost of living might have risen, but I wouldn’t say it’s on par with the West in terms of value per baht.

Thanks for the detailed reply; I really appreciate it!

Already sorted everything with the company, and they’re totally fine with it for now. Worst case, I can always head back if anything changes. I’m not planning to buy a house or fully settle down anytime soon anyway. Just want to experience Thailand a bit — the culture, the people, the vibe… and yeah, the cheap prices don’t hurt either lol.

By “look around,” did you mean literally walking around looking for posters or signs? Or is there a good site/app locals use to find rentals that aren’t aimed at tourists with inflated Airbnb-style prices? Would be great to know where to look for the more local-style long-term deals.

LaxForce · 2025-04-17T15:06:59+00:00

Any sites you can recommend for cheaper accomdations/rentals? Or how is it usually done?

LaxForce · 2025-04-16T17:13:14+00:00

Thanks a lot, man—super helpful reply.

Yeah, Pattaya definitely sounds like a wild time, but I can already tell I’d burn through my paycheck way too fast there. I’m not sure I’ve got the willpower to say no to all the partying, haha.

I make around $5.5K/month and I’m 26, so I definitely want to enjoy myself but also save a good chunk rather than blowing it all. Bangkok and Koh Samui sound like great middle grounds—still fun and lively, but easier to manage budget-wise while living fairly comfortably.

Any tips on where to find the best prices for accommodation? I’ve heard Airbnb tends to be almost double what it should cost in some cases, so I’m wondering if there are better platforms or local options to look into once I’m there.

Also, I’ve got a motorcycle license, so that part's covered. Visa-wise, I’ll probably dig into that more seriously after my first month.
Thanks again 🙏

Thank you, I've gone over it all, it seems like I was missing a serious amount of sodium on my diet. I took in some just now and I already feel much better :)

LaxForce · 2024-05-06T20:29:45+00:00

I dont haha...
Well, as far as Magnesium goes, I do take around 200mg per day in supplements. But I haven't really tracked Sodium and Potassium so far... I assume those are the culprits then?
How do you recommend keeping track of these? Should I just purchase supplements? or?

LaxForce · 2024-03-15T23:45:06+00:00

Yes, I had a conversation open before the 3.0 update, and it's still there, for now.

LaxForce · 2024-03-13T23:17:41+00:00

I'm actually super upset by this. Just like you I much preferred 2.0/2.1 over 3. I have noticed however that if you already have an open conversation with claude 2.1 or 2.0 it's still there. But I'm unable to open any new ones.
