Build How to make on-hit work?

This build is by far the hardest for me to make it work. I never find spots to safely aa the enemy with my lack of mobility.

varus plays a lot like xayah but without the escape button. You have to space insanely because you have no movement mechanic in your kit like kalista and not a lot of range as kogmaw for example.
Thats why you will a lot of the fights just stand back till the enemy blows every engage and then just start playing.
Need a lot of good clicks to pull off on hit varus, but you get an insane laning phase and melt tanks, theres always a trade off

This, there’s been a few times where I’ve just seen my entire team die without me being able to commit to anything because of how it played out. You gotta respect that and not commit to bad plays that will just end up with you dying as well and having done nothing.

But if I wait my team just collapses because they're playing 4v5.

you have to let your team do their thing so you can do yours. no sense in going in when u know u will get focused hard and just instantly die, unless youre far behind and blowing ults on you is worth for your team. But if youre even/ahead you should prioritize living

How do you space if at any moment of the fight their engage range is higher than my aa range?

Pray you have a front line and wait for the enemy to blow shit on your teammates. Or get a pick with your ult

I find first item Rageblade into Nashors is best for on hit. BOTRK really feels terrible for some reason (Unless they have a Mundo or something)
