@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.

45% winrate on varus. My prediction is varus won't be picked any more and ashe/sivir will be the 100% pick rate in lcs.

Clearly Varus is definitely gonna be pick/ ban in high elo not Lucian lmao.

Anyways, these buffs are lame. Not really gonna change anything. You will probably not even notice them.

Oh but when Lucian was sitting in the gutter he gets straight up early game buffs to make him king of bot lane once more.

Riot just scrap all these buffs and give Varus his 50 HP back. He is not Ezreal or Caitlyn to justify him having almost the same HP as them.

Lucian?

Everytime Cait Jinx Varus Ashe and other extremely high ranged adc are viable Lucian can't do shit Why do you think that Lucian isn't getting nerfed? You think Lucian can win against caitlyn? are you ok?

And before you tell me that cait's buff is irrelevant 20 damage on a poke spell is fucking insane, and they're going to buff crit and lucian is COMPLETE garbage with crit.

Anyways, these buffs are lame

it's hilarious how the boards cannot make sense of numbers

it's hilarious how varus mains themselves think that +50% damage on rank 1 spell is nothing I don't know the exact numbers but his W is also getting something like +0/20%/30%/40%/50% bonus damage

Sometimes I'm happy that boards isn't part of the balance team

Why tf would Varus have 600 AA range when his ult and Q already are absurd range?
