Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Yunara, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Varus wins 42.0% of 138 games (95% range 34.1–50.4%).
  • Both champions' overall Bot win rates predict 49.6% for Varus; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Varus usually wins the lane: 382 gold ahead of Yunara at 15 minutes on average (136 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Varus players pick Voltaic Cyclosword far more often against Yunara: 3.2% of their other Bot games, 7.2% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Varus and Yunara played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Varus's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Varus Build vs Yunara

Usual Varus build (Bot)

54.0% win rate · 539 games

Against Yunara

42.9% win rate · 21 games

Limited sample: 21 of 103 games finished this exact core, so treat it as an observation rather than a recommendation.

  • Varus usually completes Statikk Shiv first, at 11.4 min (median of 95 games).
  • Yunara usually completes Yun Tal Wildarrows first, at 11.8 min (median of 76 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
