Varus the ADC

Hey guys, Varus main here for years.

The Varus nerf for his poke build was indeed needed, but this was also a nerf for those who build attack speed on Varus. Perhaps a bit too much. Right now the winrates are pretty low on Varus, probably because people still build lethality on him.

My idea is to bring back the AD on his Q but this time per blight stack (+ 5% AD per blight stack at full charge). Varus Q as an ADC is about sniping those who are trying to get away from Varus after a fight. but the cost of their lives are 2 arrows now, instead of 1.

I guess we will have to see what the winrates will say, but for future buffs, try to bring back some Q AD damage with the blight popping. Sniping with Varus is a part of his kit. Not only for poke Varus, also for ADC Varus.

The nerfs to his Q damage were felt pretty hard during early game laning. I never thought varus' was too OP anyways, maybe a little obnoxious with the changes to lethality but that build would mostly fall off late game. I love me some varus' so maybe I'm a little biased.

The CD reduction from popping blight was a step in the right direction though. I'm hoping they add it to his E also, and maybe a little more power to that ability as well since it is mostly underwhelming ( but still very useful)

I always built Varus like I build Twitch...... Runaans, Infinity Edge, followed by more atk speed and crit items, and lifesteal if needed. Varus Q and Twitch E used as finishers if the target is running or close to killing me also
