Is Varus ever going to get a passive that is ACTUALLY useful to him at all times?

I mean 20-40 percent attack speed is nice and all except not when it hinges on the requirement of killing someone or a creep.

You act like on kill passives are bad?

Jinx's passive is absurdly useful. The issue with Varus's passive isn't the on kill, it's the fact that he doesn't really need attack speed with his kit. Now some flat CDR on minion kills? That could be damn useful.

Jinx's passive IS incredibly useful because it allows her to keep the fight going or to escape the situation off kill and assist. Varus gets a zeals worth of attack speed on minion kill or 2 zeals worth on champion kill or assist for 2-6 seconds. If he is behind anyways that passive is not going to help him in any case and he will continue to be behind. Imagine if Jinx's passive only worked on tower kills. I bet people would scream.

because its so hard to e into a couple of minions to keep the passive going...

an increase of the passive duration is maybe something to talk about, but varus is heavily focused on poke and utility. hes not made to straight up 1v1.

Why would i waste my E on minions to keep the attack speed up when i need that E to help with my damage if someone is on me?

3 autos, Q , Three autos, E thats a large chunk of damage right there and if i blow that E i waste the grievous wounds and extra burst from blight stacks.

thats where positioning comes in. you stand in a place that forces your opponent to stand next to a few minions to fight you, and you hit him and the minions at the same time with the e.

Again without 3 blight stacks it would do piddly for damage and i would be down an important skill for my rotation. What if i dropped my e and then suddenly they wanted to fight or i get caught or my ally catches them? I am ow at a disadvantage because i dont have access to my full rotation to get the best of my damage out. All because i wanted to harass them a little.

I would like his passive to be changed. Just not sure to what though.

Attack speed when he triggers blight stacks maybe?

i play varus alot not as much as i have lately and tbh i agree that minion kill attack speed can mean the difference between life or death sometimes id love if they did what they did to ashe to varus they make his w his passive and gave him a new spell with the minion/champ kill thing going on as a side passive
