Varus nerf?

Hey it's me again.

As a reminder, my post to Meddler : http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/cHeOGr9Z-plans-for-varus-adc?comment=0001

I main Varus since... end season 3 or something, since I started playing LoL I always loved playing him as an ADC even though he wasn't in a good spot for a very long time.

I asked if there where any plans for Varus as an ADC, because he needed some love. The buff came and it was great. Varus ADC was strong, he wasn't broken, but neither was he weak. He was a viable ADC again!

Now with the lethality buff, Varus got pretty overpowered. So nerving lethality seems obvious.... but also nerving Varus???

So let me get this clear

  • Varus ADC got buffed (after years of being underpowered)
  • Finally, Varus is a viable ADC again.
  • Next thing you know, Lethality came in a broken state and every marksman that uses it, is broken.
  • Nerf Varus and Lethality.

Lethality will be balanced and Varus will be a unviable ADC again.

I've waited long for a Varus buff, are you going to nerf ADC Varus because of lethality Varus?

Is this what is going to happen?

As an AP varus main this is pretty depressing. Any nerf anywhere to his Q is a huge need to any playstyle. Maybe if they shifted power but im really hoping they just leave him alone. He was hardly played before lethality become "op"

Varus needs a huge nerf, and not on any other abilities, his Q is to strong right now, Challenger players agree on this too, you get the item 3134 and you'll be doing 1/2 of the adc's HP if it lands, and you level it up first too so the cooldown is reduced, then you don't even worry about farm, you want to land those 2 arrows to cripple the enemy adc, then you free farm, that's some very nice gameplay. It's not Lethality, the other adc need that to be viable S7, I look at the 7.4 PBE notes, and I don't see any Varus changes or mentions, he's been a problem since Lethality has come out. So to balance lethality, there needs to be a Varus Q nerf. Only way
