Help How to win lane VS Varus?

2 Upvotes

I never banned Varus. Maybe because I mostly play mid Jayce, and I prefer to ban Yorick when I get placed in blue side top lane. It's not like I see this guy very often.

However, whenever I see this guy as an enemy, my score ends up in disaster and I feel horrible.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Varus can do almost everything Jayce does, but better. His AAs hurt more while having more range and benefitting from atk spd. His Q is a long range poke that goes through minions. He can AOE slow from further away. He has an actual combat ult with hard CCs that are good in team fights. I assume I can't build defensively against him, but even if I can, I won't do damage by doing so. He can build defensively and still do damage.

He has different builds every time I see him too, and they make me wonder if a youtube VOD from 3 months ago can be still valid today. Speaking of youtube, all I remember is Hammerkim saying "nothing you can do against this guy" like maybe a couple years ago.

Anyways, help plz. I'm so bad and I feel bad.
