Aurelion Sol vs Varus Matchup Summary

The Aurelion Sol vs Varus matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 31 recent matches analyzed, Aurelion Sol wins with a 64.5% win rate compared to Varus's 35.5%, giving Aurelion Sol a 29.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Varus controls the early laning stage, but Aurelion Sol outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Varus needs to press advantages before Aurelion Sol reaches their power spikes, while Aurelion Sol should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Varus leads by 150 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Aurelion Sol players can confidently pick into Varus and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Varus away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Varus dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 56.3% win rate — a 12.5 percentage point lead over Aurelion Sol. This lopsided early game means Varus can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Aurelion Sol is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 86.7% win rate — 73.3 points above Varus. Extended games heavily favor Aurelion Sol, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Aurelion Sol survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
