Varus Needs...Something

I wanted to expand on another Varus post I saw, but feel it's rude to leave comments longer than the post. First off, I love playing ; he was my first 6300 and the first I ever tried to get good at. I remember fondly a friend taking me to a custom Dominion map and forced me to stand in the middle dodging Nidalee Qs at S3 damage for over an hour. But Varus, since those days, has developed some pretty glaring problems.

1. He's one of the highest-skill marksmen in the game. Resist the urge to Vayne qq and think about this: you have mediocre range, no escapes, low speed and all your spells must be aimed. Playing that champ takes skill and punishes you severely for not having it.

2. His passive is just awful. It just compensates occasionally for having terrible attack speed. And it's not even a good steroid for an active except it's not even that. Really, this needs to be added onto his W or just replaced and buff his stats.

3. He barely fills the Marksman role. Even if Varus is a "caster ADC", he's still supposed to be an ADC, and currently he is not. Unless your team is so ahead that it doesn't matter, getting within basic attack range on Varus is basically committing suicide. He's an easy target.

4. ** He's near-bottom as a caster**. The DPS of his Q comparing damage to cooldown barely breaks 150 DPS at full build with max CDR. He really only has one damaging spell. W is practically nothing, R is all magic and only AP scaling. This used to work for but she needed supreme mobility, did about double the damage, had a heal/Attack Speed steroid, provided vision control and had a Mag Res debuff in addition to melee burst damage. Varus has none of that.

Let's compare him to a similar champ on the mobility scale: . Permanent slow at no cost, a large AoE cone to proc it on multiple targets, a _global line effect vision spell, an incredible damage steroid, automatic crits on all but first hit and a global, AoE stun that's up to the longest single stun in the game. What does Varus get? He...kinda pokes okay. Like, 3rd as marksmen okay.
