Suggestion: Small Varus Buff

Stars Shaper·Nov 5, 2014·4 votes·815 views

The buff I had in mind is making the charge speed of his Q increase with Attack Speed giving him less time to charge it.

Numbers are out of my management abilities so I'll let them to Riot and I will also let them decide if there must be a cap (which I believe would be more balanced) or let him have it at full power once a AS cap is reached.

This would make him able to get better advantage of his passive.

One more suggestion would be to make the 20% speed boost proc after he used an ability instead of on a minion kill (40% AS stays as it is in live) so that it would be more on-demand while introducing the indirect mana cost to it.

Sadly Riot has no intention to buff Varus because they see him as a niche pick. So it doesnt matter how unrewarding he feels to play as dont expect any buffs.

Well I don't feel like these changes would bring him out of his niche. Rather give him some more flavor :3

Yep. Sorry Varus fans, he is not #LCSBIGPLAYS enough, so Riot does not want him to ever be seen.

Bump Free Varus

IF riot has no plans to support Var then why even continue to keep him on the champ roster? Riot should just refund us for him and all skins end of story, then delete Varus from champs he's getting useless to the point of being labeled a troll pick. It just doesn't seem reasonable to have 0 Varus buffs and 101 Lucian buffs.

Varus is my favorite adc and I really agree that the attack speed decreasing Q charge time is GREAT! It would make sense imo :D

But I do not agree with him getting 20% attack speed for every ability cast. I think that would be a bit to much.

Here's something that would help a bit more: swap Varus' W and passive*

Make his passive the Blight stacks with the on-hit AP ratio and the %HP proc on spells, and make his W into an actively controllable AS steroid. Maybe keep the on-kill effect as freely activating it regardless of the cooldown, or extending it if you kill a unit within the duration.
