235+160% AD. 1387,5 range. 8 second cooldown. Say hello to the reason to pick Varus. Hint: it won't scale with AP. That is pretty much a Nidalee spear just on your ADC. As an extra, you get E. Which won't do that much in terms of scaling with AD, but it does get some damage on squishier targets. Q is just useless if you go AP.

Playing AP Varus is like playing a worse AP Kog. It works, don't get me wrong, just 40 minutes into the game and from two thirds of the range Kog would work from. As AD Varus you get to be useful from the get go and deal a load of damage all around the game. Your magic % health damage means that not building MR would get you chunked when stacks are blown.

Also, the ult is utility on an ADC. AoE, even, if well used. You can't ask for an AD scaling spell on an ADC that also provides AoE lockdown. I mean, Ashe would be really great with a 350+100% AD spell that stuns a target. She also would be insane.

Finally, Varus lacks in autoattack damage compared to whom? Draven? Twitch with ult? Vayne with ult+tumble? He seems to have something on those champions though. Like, you know, poke. Or consistenly better range. Or utility. You just might need to pick champions in their role for what they do, not what you expect them to do.
