INNATE - Depending how Varus kills an enemy target, he wil gain any of the following bonuses...

  • https://i.imgur.com/D754n6R.png Q - Within 6 seconds the next Piercing Arrow will deal 6 - 15% (Based on Level) of the target's Missing Health as Magic Damage.

(W active Removed)

  • https://i.imgur.com/Dx4VZpj.png W Passive (Basic AA) - For the next 3 - 6 (based on level) seconds Varus' basic attacks on a unit with 3 Stacks of Blight will cause one stack of Blight to be applied to other nearby units within X range.

  • https://i.imgur.com/gFwfVoD.png E - The Desecrated Zone duration is refreshed and the Zone begins to increase by X amount for the next Y seconds.

  • https://i.imgur.com/kufYJzm.png R - The tendril of corruption will bounce off off of the recently killed target applying X (Based on Ult Rank) stacks of Blight to every unit instantly within Z range of the target.

(This does not Root every unit affected by this)

##Thematic & Reasoning

I never found Varus' Passive that appealing or interesting, since it was always just this Attack Speed steroid he got from killing something. When making this post, the very name of the Passive is what drives most of these ideas.

###How could he bring Vengeance in a unique way? How could he benefit from killing his targets in different ways?

  • Passive https://i.imgur.com/D754n6R.png Q Explanation - I couldn't think of anything more balanced than this, because every other idea seemed like a massive buff or didn't really sound all that interesting. Some examples being; him no longer being Slowed during the Channel, extended target range, increased speed of the arrow itself and so on...

  • Passive https://i.imgur.com/Dx4VZpj.png W Explanation - I wanted him to be able to fulfill the fantasy of spreading Blight that he's suppose to have.

  • Passive https://i.imgur.com/gFwfVoD.png E Explanation - I liked the idea of making the Desecrated Ground alive and how it grows upon killing someone.

  • Passive https://i.imgur.com/kufYJzm.png R Explanation - I liked the idea of how the Blight could be these disease that afflicts it's symptoms immediately on other victims.

##Not saying that these ideas would be final or the ones that I would want to see 100%. But what do you all think?

Off the top of my head, one of these passives wouldn't be relevant till mid game. Because I'm pretty sure the cd on Q is more than 6 seconds so he could not proc the Q bonus damage again until some cdr was bought or it was ranked up to....whatever level it is. Don't quote me on it but I'm pretty sure. The rest of them look pretty good. I like the idea.

With 40% CDR you have the Q (4.8 Seconds off) on a Cooldown of 7.2 Seconds, and if you also detonate Blight Stacks using it that's another 4 seconds off, making it on a total Cooldown of 3.2 seconds.

But you do have a point about it not really working early. But thanks for your opinion. I would probably change something about it, but I currently don't have any ideas at the moment.
