Varus and an update possibility

Recently in ARAM ive been playing Varus quite often and I thought to myself what if Varus was a bit less linear.

Mostly my idea came from as he was charging up his Q you could either activate his E or his R at the time and it would change the effect,

For example : Q charge into E would result in him shooting his E at max range with slightly increased damage, but instead of being a line shot it would be the small area of effect Q charge into R would result in him using his ult but it would only activate upon hitting an enemy. The arrow would stop upon hitting the first champion but instantly snare up to 2 other enemies within range.

Obviously these would be more for utility then for increased damage as only one of the damages would apply not both of them combined, plus they would both go on cd. Maybe have the Q cd reduced if this combo was used. Dunno feel free to downvote if you think this idea is awful. Im just throwing it out there
