@Meddler Varus Theme/Gameplay Discussion

Hello I'm looking forward to picking up Varus since I'm lacking adc's and I like his theme. Was wondering what your stance is on Varus's kit compared to other ADC's? What does he provide that other's don't already?

If Varus's theme is all about spreading corruption have you thought of his ult spreading the pre-existing blight on a target to others with the Chain of Corruption? During teamfights it's hard enough to put stacks of blight and then detonate it. Having 2 AoE spells to detonate them on a single target doesn't make sense sometimes and I think Varus should have more options.

If his ult is supposed to be utility orientated, why not make it have more impact during team fights so his spells have more synergy? Usually you could use Chain of Corruption to pop some stacks of blight and proceed to quickly use q and e for burst damage which I sometimes find it a waste and at often not worth in the long run cause your spells are on cd for a majority of the time compared to other adc's that manage spell weaving and kiting more effectively especially since they have some type of mobility steroid whether via dashes or movement speed buff.

One more thing. I like his piercing arrow mechanic. The longer you hold it, the longer the range and higher the damage output. Why doesn't Xerath Q work like that? or why doesn't Varus Q work like Xerath's with consistent damage at all range points?

In conclusion, what baffles me is his average win rate being in a decent spot. Many people skip over him and I hardly see play from him. Would the balance team ever consider doing a slight rework? I find that tweaking his kit somewhat could hold some potential. Not sure how the Varus mains would react but these are just my thought's and opinions...
