@Riot Here's my feedback on the PBE Varus Buffs (from a Varus Player)

###Thoughts
I would say that these buffs are somewhat acceptable, but not the ones Varus needed in particular as this doesn't solve his issues. He doesn't really need more damage, he just needs something to make him more safer and less punishing to pick.
###His issues:
-
He can't deal his damage successfully/safely enough (detonating full 3 stacks with each ability, requiring a lot of basic attacks to be dealt which means standing still or trying to kite through immobility).
-
He relies on a lot of items too heavily to be useful (usually Blade of the Ruined King + Guinsoo's Rageblade + Runaan's Hurricane), while most other Marksman are able to offer higher damage way earlier than Varus (most valuable thing right now in league) with just Stormrazor.
-
He loses against most match-ups (as you will see statistically in the images below).
(Image below showing Varus' current Win-Rate is 45.77%)

###What I would of suggested instead (not all of what I will list, but something to choose from the list):
-
Increasing his Attack Range to 600 from 575
-
Increasing his Movement Speed by +5
-
Increase the duration of Passive to 6 seconds from 5 seconds
-
Increase Passive Champion Takedown Bonus Attack Speed Ratio to 40% from 30% Increase Passive Minion/Monster Takedown Bonus Attack Speed Ratio to 20% from 15%
-
Increase E duration to 5 or 6 seconds from 4 seconds
-
Give W Active an interaction with E, where Varus will gain bonus Attack Range against targets in the E zone
###But at the end of the day...
I guess I will take what we get, better than nothing I suppose.
