Miss Fortune vs Varus Matchup Summary

The Miss Fortune vs Varus matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 279 recent matches analyzed, Miss Fortune wins with a 51.6% win rate compared to Varus's 48.4%, giving Miss Fortune a 3.2 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Varus controls the early laning stage, but Miss Fortune outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Varus needs to press advantages before Miss Fortune reaches their power spikes, while Miss Fortune should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Varus leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Miss Fortune has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Varus's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
