@Riot, is Varus on the table for any changes?

He's just so....Boring and lackluster in terms of raw utility or specialty. He's a poke ADC that requires himself to get in close quarters to stack his W passive to really do his damage and he has no escape to buggout with like some other adcs do.

He has no AD steroid, no REAL passive, His poke is great if the target is alone and away from minions but the only real way to bonk someone with a fully charged Q is from the bushes because it takes so long to amp up. Not to mention that the most popular adcs bot lane have some sort of dash or tumble that makes it extremely hard to land.

In my non expert opinion his major flaw comes from his attack range which honestly needs to be on part with Ashe since they have similar styles of play (Poke with their signature skills and use ult get in close and attempt to finish a target.) Except Varus lacks the utility that Ashe does.

Again this could just be ramblings but I think something needs to be done to Varus to edge him into line with other adcs after their reworks.

His passive is getting a buff this patch, lol.

I really hope they don't touch Varus too much. He is very flexible in terms of what he can build. Lack of mobility is his biggest flaw, but he was never really meant to be very mobile.

I'm 100% cool with his non mobility, but he needs the attack range to match his theme of stacking his blight and nailing someone with an arrow. I don't want to get within range of a Vayne and have her eat my butthole like cereal.

his problem is there's no incentive in playing him as an auto attack champion, Essence reaver is shit when it comes to mana sustain because you have to build crit for it to work, so Essence reaver is doing nothing until you have enough crit to reliably sustain from it. So you can't be a caster in bot lane, every marksman is better as an Auto Attack champion than he is.

His problem is basically he can't fit the bot lane playstyle, this pathetic buff to his passive isn't going to help. He needs to be a caster and a realiably DPS champion or he'll never fit bot lane.

He should be like Lucian, in fact he and Lucian should have the same build but Lucian doesn't have crippling mana costs that punish him for spamming abilities and that can only be fixed with a tear.

Before he could fit in mid but Riot reworked ghost blade and Varus got fucked.
