Varus Reworks (Idea)
Ever since release Varus has been an "odd one" out the bunch of adcs. Yes his lane phase is somewhat strong and his team fighting peal is quite admirable but as a champion his kit is flawed and going to be quite out classes coming in to the new season. Varus kit has been weird to Many players to a point where the only reason he isn't more viable is that once the game gets to team fighting or high roam phase he for the most part is utterly stomped and has to be baby sited or will just be shut down and out by higher scaling champions. As a adc with very little escape only being his (ult and e) and highest burst of damage his full charged q most assassins, tanks, and mages can kill him without even trying despite who was more kills. He isn’t a very good tower siege, he is a good duel, and to be honest isn’t too impact full in quick team fights rather than longer and more dragged on team fight.
In my opinion there is only one way to make this champion more balanced and viable and that is to change his w. e ult and passive. his passive is useless late game since most champions will just burst u down before you can auto attack them to death and even if u can you will have to be building a way that means you will sacrifice your q damage for more sustained auto attacks. his passive and q have very little synergy and the little synergy it has is forced by his w which once again you will have to choose attack speed over damage to make use full in dueling situations. his e not only has a cast before damage time but has a stop cast which means trying to use it to slow enemies is pointless because the amount of slow you do with it is negated by the time you spend casting the ability in the first place. his ultimate with cast a snare on a target which is very use full when it comes to a variety of situations but once again the synergy and effectiveness for the champions rest of the kit is mediocre at best. Now looking into season 6 a season meant for adc's I see almost nothing to help Varus at all actually it has made Varus kit even weaker with the changes to ER again. Unless there is more to be announced I believe Varus will turn in to the adc version of "yorick" rarely seen and strong but other champion can do the job better. As a Varus main I think there is one true way to save him and that is follow one of two roads. Road A; make him the xerath of bot lane change his kit to truly reflect around his q and long range damage. Make the champion have the ability to win a fight (if skilled enough) before the enemy has a chance to start it. Road B; Make him a dueling champion who can utilize his passive w and e Allot better. A champion who can not only fend for himself now but carry a game if needed. If anyone has any comment or concerns feel free to ask I am highly open to Constructive/Creative criticism or applause.
