I said this in an earlier post and people tought I was a madman for thinking that a Balanced Marksman as Varus need any significant buffs.

If his Passive was his W and he had an actual W that could give him an edge in duels and skirmishes, then, his balance around being a teamfight oriented tankbuster would be even more bonkers. However, he is also inmobile as it gets, no reposition ability and a mediocre slow that most players don't even level up because they nerfed the base damage of the skill to avoid Varus being also a powerful lane bully.

For the trade offs that Varus gets when he gets a slighty stronger W, a conditional AS Steroid and being an inmobile ADC that is also a bully in lane, his strenghts don't really shine, so, I don't really see how this change is bad for him. If anything, if his power in teamfights it's too good, then you could simply remove the Grevious Wounds component of his E and revert the buffs to the CD of his Ultimate.
