Can we give Varus a bit of a rework?
Any time I have some gut-instinct about something in LoL, I search the forums to see who else has posted about it. If I'm going to be wrong, I may as well be int he majority. Anyway, I just checked on Varus's passive and it seems I'm not the only one who thinks it's less than ideal.
Turns out, a lot of folks had some really great ideas/comments so I thought I'd make an aggregate thread for a rework proposal and see how it lands. Here are the changes I'm suggested with Varus's.
- Increase his standard MS by 15%
- Make his W his passive.
- Replace his W with this:
Living Vengeance:
Varus channels his inner corruption giving him bonus 15/20/25/30/35% Attack Speed over 5 seconds. The corruption will decrease his Movement Speed by 8/9/10/11/12%. If Varus uses Living Vengence within tower range, he'll receive an additional 5% attack speed.
I like Varus, and I think he's fun to play, but IMO he needs small tweeks to be more viable (not even top tier, but viable) in the current game play. There's a big issue in the game with mobility creep, but Varus seems to be coming from another era with his slow movement speed and his double passive. I think it's fair to say that in the era of unique abilities and new types of champions we should rework a champ with only 3 abilities.
Beware a champ with nothing to lose...
