Ashe vs Varus Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the ADC lane: Ashe the marksman/support hybrid, Varus the marksman/mage hybrid. 1,958 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Ashe at a 53.2% win rate into Varus. That is 3.2 points above even, so Varus is one of the matchups Ashe can lean on.
Shared damage type here — physical for Ashe as well as Varus. Ashe carries 610 base health to Varus’s 600, and 26 armour to 24. Level 18 armour lands at 104 for Ashe and 92 for Varus. There is a movement gap too: 325 for Ashe, 330 for Varus.
A missed Enchanted Crystal Arrow from Ashe hands Varus the window to land Blighted Quiver. Ultimates decide the rest — Enchanted Crystal Arrow versus Chain of Corruption.
Both champions are ranged (Ashe at 600, Varus at 575), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
That 53.2% rests on 1,958 recorded games from 16.13.1.
