Varus's passive needs a rework

is kinda weak in the current meta IMO. His passive needs a rework or maybe a full rework. He's only been played in mid lane recently and not a very viable adc

IMO. All he needs is his R to surround him before going forward during the animation. This way he can actually use it if someone is in his face.

Far as I know he's not really meant to be "weak to melee" like Xerath. He's a utility ADC with very unreliable utility. A team wanting CC from their ADC really doesn't have a reason to pick him over Ashe or Kalista. Outside of poke range, Ashe does everything better than him.

Feels like Ashe outclassed Varus pretty much. Even Ashe have a good harass/poke from her w

To be viable in ADC he needs tweaks to more than his passive, but this is about is about his passive.

If you asked me, i like the concept of he getting a buff when he kills/assist in a kill. But why does Jinx gets a huge mobility boost while Varus gets a pitiful 40% AS that is barely noticeable and has no impact on the way he's played.

When you proc your passive as Jinx you're like "YEAH GUYS LET'S GO" and the enemy team is like "GG penta incoming but when Varus procs his passive you don't really care, as it does nothing for him.

@Meddler or any red can we discuss how they feel about Varus' passive?

What's wrong with his passive? I always thought his blight stacks were... Oh, right.

That's the problem here, Varus's real passive is on his W and he's missing an ability.

This. The AS steriod passive change to the W blight stack passive and make his W an escape tool. Varus is lack of mobility too

But he has insanely good damage and utility so if you give him a powerful passive he will need some toning down.

Well i recommend a small rework or a full rework.

Small rework: Passive change

Full rework: AS steriod Passive change to W blight stack passive like Darius Q damage lowered, range remains the same W make it an escape tool or any new ideas for him E remains the same or change something like add some AP ratio R remains the same or change something

Varus has always been more of a poke mage ADC like Corki. His buffs to Q and R made him better as a caster/AD mage than as an ADC, so he got moved to Mid. Doesn't mean he's not viable.

I get that, hes a poke type adc but his current passive doesn't effect well and barerly noticeable
