El Señor Varus
http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/12/1210-pbe-update.html use CTRL+F : Varus or Katarina Since it looks like they are keeping and eye on Varus... here's what I'd like to say.
Varus
As you guys may know, Varus is an adc bot lane.
I myself, main Varus for a while now and to me it really feels like he falls behind
unlike any other adcs. He has unecessary AP scaling, no escapes along without
strong CC. Looking at his abilities, I personally feel that his ult can be something
much greater, due to the fact that is just like a
E, or
W. As well
he also has a max of 3 stacks per opponent, and deals "magic" damage instead
of true damage(unlike
or
most adcs with stack mechanics). My third issue is being his cool downs in fights are long and become quite necessary to use for his since he needs his abilities for his damage , 10 seconds for E and 8 seconds for Q and 70 seconds for his ult. When you can only stack 3 blights on an enemy. Keeping in mind that ONLY abilities can detonate these stacks.

1: Simple as it is, his ult doesn't have a true meaning other than acting like
something that can stop someone from moving(such as being
, which even then
her Q is faster than Varus and can be certain death when a
hits it) unlike
ashe, which is a 3 second stun along with a slow on sorrounding enemies. So to
give more promise to varus abilities I feel that his ult should have a stun
IF the Varus detonated the three stacks on top of them. The corruption that travels
will have a 2 second snare and once it roots them down completely it will
stun them for 1 second.(this effects only apply IF they have 3 stacks on the
opponent)Acting sort kind of a morgana ult. If not, the target will remain snared
and will respond like it already does.

I believe if we could have changes for his passive. his current passive being as stated "On a minion or monster kill, Varus gains 20% attack speed for 3 seconds. On a champion kill or assist, Varus gains 40% attack speed for 6 seconds. These bonuses do not stack with themselves." To enchance this, I think it would be greater to give him a slight modification. "If varus has detonated a stack all cooldowns are reduced by 2 seconds per each stack detonated" This does ability does not stack along with the ability was cast upon it.
Example :
3 stacks(autos), then Q. then the Q would not be affect. BUT, if E was on cool down it would
be reduced and it would take effect along with his R. This would help his
lack of ability use in team fights, laning and as well in AP since it would become more effective. Keep in mind, these abilities use mana and are also skill shots, Being trigger happy can't be a good thing at all times and it rewards using him "the right way" Making both AD and AP
a reliable being.

3 : Which can go to my third problem,
has not real reliable cc that can stop
certain enemies. Indeed it's true he has an ult along with a 100% AP scaling. But, being without any escapes or and buying
(these items build into things that give tenacity) making his ult rather useless to junglers. One idea that I came up with that can help his kit is by granting vision to a target he has used his "E" on. Most champions that
have grievous wounds inflict this(
E ,
E ,
W,
W). Along with a small grant of movement speed if he walks on it, such as 80% movement speed+ for 1 second from walking onto of the E.(such like
)
In conclusion, my main point is giving him more utility to help him do what it does.
As a champion without any escapes, I feel that he should be as strong as
and
. Don't get me wrong, he is great as he currently is. But, there is a wall stopping Varus that he can no longer benefit like others do and he feels "Half done".
Thanks for reading, first time posting here. Thoughts?
