[Suggestion] Varus Passive

Stars Shaper·Jan 2, 2016·5 votes·700 views

Varus current Passive ability has been debated a lot mostly because it's not a reliable (needs minions to be around) and to get it a max value you need to have scored a kill/assist meaning that it really doesn't help. Now don't get me wrong, it's a powerful passive but I think he deserves a more reliable one.

The suggestion is:

Blighted Quiver stacks becomes his Passive
His W will keep the magic damage on AAs as passive plus an active that will increase either his AA Range or his Attack Speed.

It seems fair and balanceable.

I actually like the way his passive and W are set up but I do also like the idea of a range increase for a W active... maybe an AA reset with bonus range and double magic damage and blight stacks. I do think the reliability argument holds some water just because of his lack of mobility. Shrug... still not sure he needs it.

The thing is: He needs to control his steroid and not just getting a candy each time he is already doing his job.

Any other Marksman has his/her steroid at his/her disposal without the need of a close wave of minions or to have already killed an enemy. I would be happy even if he gets his 20% attack speed as the W active (with maybe a 40% value if he has recently killed an enemy) making it so that he doesn't need a minion wave to engage.

Well yeah... but the way I see it his passive is a unique mechanic that he needs to play around to emphasize him as a long range caster marksmen (adc/mage) hybrid. Does it mean that it shouldn't be changed? Not really; it could definitely be changed in a good and healthy way... But it is the reason that I like it... I'm kinda dumb like that! :D
