I understand ADCS getting buffed in PBE, but why include Varus?

BeatzBoyFTW··4 votes·1,289 views

PBE currently:

Varus Piercing Arrow (Q) Minimum damage AD ratio increased from 100% to 110% Maximum damage AD ratio increased from 150% to 165%

Blighted Quiver (W) Bonus magic damage changed from [5/9/13/17/21] to [7/10.5/14/17.5/21] Magic damage per stack changed from [2/2.75/3.5/4.25/5%] to [3/3.5/4/4.5/5%]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rageblade ADCs like Kai'Sa and Varus himself aren't as hammered as Crit ADCs, so I don't necessarily see these buffs being needed at all. Secondly, why would you buffed the Magic Damage side of his W? I'm pretty sure you have seen how bursty & dominating full AP Varus was in the C9 vs TSM match in NA LCS, both in terms of its raw power & his turret pushing capability, where he's literally a Bannered/Baronned Cannon Minion at 2.00 Attack Speed:

Don't tell me this is one of your "oops, 4 to 2.5% nerf on Rageblade too stronk, let's re-buff ADC again" bullcrap.

your game was played BEFORE rageblade nerf, and yes he's shit since the rageblade nerf

if you think going from 24% to 15% AP AND AD is not a relevant nerf i can't help

He´s getting buffed because of his 45% winrate and low pickrate.

They did promise to help marksmen who ran into a wall post the update and varus did it x)

Before her shift to jungle, Taliyah wasn't played a lot as well & still got nerfed nonetheless.

LOL what? she was the top mid laner in both the game and LCS. Need to quit w/e is it you are smoking. Theres a reason why she is getting an LCS skin.

Varus needs it tbh, I'm just a little disappointed that in the patch they centred around mages, the only mage change is a nerf :S

These seem like nice buffs. His main problem is still itemization though.

I start to believe that balance team not even playing their own game but also not watching lcs.

The W buffs are 2 damage to the level 1 ability.

I think the biggest point is to make people use his Q again, since it's supposed to be his main ability and it's... well, kind of a sad excuse of an ability now, because of all the nerfs it got over the lethality build being strong.
