Varus E

Hmm. while varus E gives a good amount of decision making for the player: •do I disengage with E and not waste my ult? •do I engage with E and duel?

With the addition of a marksman item that inflicts GW, Varus 's E will be underpowered and not really fill its role as a dueling mechanism, but be a placeholder in his kit as another ability to disengage.

I think a more mage-like ability can be added to his kit instead. His current E can be scrapped and there can be additional power to his R (like an increasing root per rank and other ideas I do not want to spitball)

He has too much disengage for having so many steroids. He should have 2 glaring weaknesses: •immobility •an incentive to be up close and personal (not spamming Q at max range)

Here is my other post on a possible to make him stop spamming Q and be up close

Varus doesn't have a steroid. Unless you count his terrible passive that requires a champ kill/assist to give a decent amount of AS, and never procs when you want it to.

His current weaknesses are immobility, meh peel/disengage (anyone with a dash/gapcloser completely ignores his e), and not being very good at burst or sustain dmg. His Q falls off really hard late game unless he builds specifically to keep it relevant (and then he's not an ADC anymore).

He does not need/deserve something else to force him to give up one of his few strengths of long range poke. If anything he needs to lose his bad passive, make his W his passive (since it already feels like it is), and be given something that allows him to get a more reliable AS steroid. If they still want him to not be able to access it early in the fight, tie it to the number of blight stacks he has up. He just needs something to keep him a little more relevant late game as an ADC.

I fail to understand how having GW in an item will make Varus' E under powered.

I personally use his E to proc his W in the laning phase. It's easier to land and uses less mana (b/c i keep it at level 1) thats just me though.
