After spamming around 80 games with Infernal Varus this month, I can confidently say this skin changes how the champion feels completely. Got it from a chest initially but would've bought it after experiencing what it brings to the table compared to other Varus skins.
The Q charge feels insanely smooth with that fire effect building up, making it way easier to gauge your damage output in lane trades. Your W stacks are probably the best visual clarity improvement though, with those burning markers that pop way more than base skin or even Cosmic Hunter. The ult projectile looks thicker somehow, and I swear enemies flash it more often just because that flaming chain looks more threatening. During a baron fight yesterday, I landed a max range ult that I'm convinced would've been harder to track with Dark Star Varus since the Infernal version has that bright orange glow cutting through all the spell effects.
But the real difference maker is the E animation. That erupting volcano effect not only looks sick but actually helps with zoning since enemies respect it more visually. The cleaner animation on your auto attacks between abilities makes kiting feel more responsive too, especially when you're fed and need to position perfectly in teamfights.
Is Infernal Varus worth it compared to his other options? For Varus mains who want both style and subtle gameplay advantages, absolutely. It's not quite pay to win but the visual clarity on abilities definitely helps your performance. My experience with Infernal Varus convinced me to keep it as my main skin over PROJECT which I used for two years straight. Worth every bit of the 1350 RP if you play him regularly.
