Should Varus be adjusted?

It is obvious that mid varus is a strong poke champion, no doubt about it. He has clear weaknesses. However, I feel his ultimate could use a slight nerf in the cooldown department at later levels as it is currently at 70 seconds max rank, and since 30-40% cdr is so core on him it makes his ultimate a very very short cooldown (42 seconds)

Current ultimate : 110/90/70. What if we went 110/95/80?

Another Change would be to motivate Mid Varus players to use their W passive. My suggestion for this:

Have his Q mana costs an additional 10 accross the board (80/85/90/95/100) and also not have it refund mana if canceled or not fired.

His W Toggle is now** turned into a passive** ( always occurring) and has an active which gives him 5/6/7/8/9 % mana back per stack of the first spell to hit a blighted enemy. Lasts 6 seconds and has a 30/29/28/27/26 CD

Example : Varus has 1 point into his W and uses his Q (live value of 90 mana) on an enemy with 3 blighted quiver stacks. He is refunded 14 mana. Math : 15% of 90 = 13.5

Example : varus has 5 points in his W and uses his E (80 mana) on an enemy with 2 blighted quiver stacks. He is refunded 22 mana. Math : 18% of 80 = 21.6

o.o? AP varus has no need considering if you hit all your abilities as ap varus, a tank is fucked.

The main problem is the AD caster itemization and its' absurd cheapness. Tear/Manamune Brutalizer Last Whisper combo is really cheap and does tons of damage - plus you are super ahead in the tank/penetration curve as you build very early armor pen. If you change his mana costs or ult timers you are gonna destroy actual ADC Varus.

The main issue is that people get poked out before they engage at half life and get destroyed in the following fight. Abuse his non mobility early on and try to shut him down. He is like AD Nidalee but with no mobility. I know it's easy to say on the forums :/

I always saw him as an AD caster, not an ADC, as he has almost no steroids that other adcs do.

True, but same goes for Caitlyn! :)

Her auto attack range counts as a steroid IMO.
