Varus Update prototype

MadArbiter·Aug 25, 2016·3 votes·651 views

I'm writing this to help out varus since lately his kit has been lacking alot compared to other ADC champions. Also to remind riot and players to share the love to other championship who are not meta. This is an prototype idea of an varus update. So feel free to add or criticize this board. Varus update: Passive: kills on champion permanently gives 10% AS stacks up to ten times Q: range increase 300 and flight speed is now 2000. Ad ratio increase by 30% W: ap ratio from 25 to 35 E:no change R: immobilization from 2 second to 3.5 and champions take increase damage from varus and enemy champions.

Varus, if ever looked at again by riot, will hopefully be looked at as a long range AD caster and a medium range AP DPS Burst mage.

The AP buffs and increased damage from Varus I think would be a little too OP. The main problem with Varus is his passive is really lack luster outside of laning phase and his mobility is rather terrible.

I'm not sure if this would be too strong, but a change to his E (Hail of Arrows) would really be beneficial for him.

I'm thinking if Varus is inside the hail of arrows he gains a tiny bit of MS. (That scales off of AP) You could also throw in tenacity or a free spell block but that might be too powerful.

The only problem with him gaining MS I would think is that it might make chasing too easy for him if he gets ahead.

Thank you for posting your idea to this board. I do agree with the "buffs" would make him to OP and unfair . For his passive he gain 0.5 AS and 1 MS for every mark , stacks up to 100. An change to is E would be 20% increased damage to champion in the area. W it could be his bail move 100 MS and a shield based on a a ratio ad and ap .

I think the main issue Varus has is that he's more suited to a AD caster role, as opposed to being an adc. Another issue he has is that he has the worst mobility out of any ADC, especially since his E is easily avoided and his ult currently is pretty bad. I dont think increasing his damage will help him as an adc, it would just switch him to be a crazy mid laner that would likely cause everyone to whine about it until it's nerfed.

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. So, would switching varus from ADC to a completely long range ad/ap caster would be better overall? Also giving him some much needed escape and mobility to help fill that role. Personally the passive he has is crap right. So, switching that out for his w and making that this bail/escape move. That give him a movement speed of 550 and a small Shield(300-500) for 5 seconds. Would help varus from jump on and being killed. Feel free to agree or disagree and criticism is always appreciated.

I like to think of Varus as a sniper. If he's in range to land consistent auto attacks, he's in a spot where he will get blown up. I feel his passive is subpar because it's almost non existent in teamfights, at least until you start getting kills. I don't play Varus anymore because he's in a bad spot, but something definitely should be changed with hie passive and W. It would be cool if the passive marks on his W added some type of additional effect to hit ability proc. So if you break 3 with your Q it does more damage as it passed through targets, the E can snare with 3 stacks and the ult stuns instead. But that would be a huge buff that would likely never happen. I dunno, hopefully riot makes him viable again because I really love his lore.

Thanks for responding as always. Since varus is a "poke" champion his skill pool should reflect that but is doesn't at all beside one skill. Really what riot need to do is stop giving this super long range poke to any champion. Since their many champions that have this ability but an improved version of it. SO in his Q should be the longest LOL and have a fight speed to back that up since the longer the range the more time a person has time to react.

One thing we can all agree is that Varus needs a more reliable steroid.

I always thought that the best idea was to make the 20% AS be proced by the use of a skill mantaining the 40% on kill.

Yes, the passive varus has is kind of unreliable and is a let down in a lot of places. I do like the idea that something beside a kill would proc his passive, but maybe fodder would give permanent AS. Also a cool idea is that his Q range and flight speed would scale with AS.

That is something I'd like to see

Hello everyone its has been awhile since the last post. During that time i created a small update for a reworked passive for Varus.. Passive: Varus gains As and Ms based off AD and AP. 10% per 30 Ad and Ap Ult: target is now rooted for 2.5 seconds.

Hey, be awhile again to anyone reading this post. Today I have a question to riot personally. Is varus an ADC or an mid laner? The other part of this post is an detail VGU for varus. Passive: Vendetta. Varus gains % as and true damage based on the amount of damage taken. (35%as and TrueD 15%)doesn't disappears Q: 20% true damage added to ability. Also the flight speed increased by 200 to solve the problem of easily telegraphed q. W: all ap ratio switch to true damage will self pop after 5 second but reduced damage 50%. E:Blight sense: Varus send out a pulse over 1600 range marking enemy's. Allowing varus to see enemy champions affected for 5 seconds . Does include invisible champions. R: ap ratio switch to true damage. Also point and click ult now. With 3 seconds root. That all for this week; riot please reponed and anyone I would love to hear what you guys think. Thank you for reading this long Post and have a nice day.
