I often play bot lane with a friend of mine, and he's the adc. I used to tell him to try and play Varus but he always replied that he sucked. He then happened to try him and all he can say now is that "he makes holes in the walls".

I've won a lot of times with my buddy playing Varus, hell, i've probably always won.

Varus does lack damage on his autoattacks but triggering Blighted Quiver with a lvl 5 Piercing Arrow does an absurd amount of damage once you have a B. F. Sword. Even without triggering the marks, a fully charged Piercing Arrow can easily deal 300 and more damage.

What you need when you play Varus is just not to fall behind the opponents' adc. As long as you stay at his/her same level of gold and experience you're doing good. As already said, when you get Piercing Arrow to level 5 and a B. F. Sword you WILL outdamage a lot of adcs with your super long range pokes. You need, and need a tailored support, not to get bullied and not to trade with adcs with sustained auto attack damage (e. g. Twitch or Vayne).

Not to mention that Chain of Corruption makes Varus one of the few ad carries with an effective engage/disangage tool.

Believe me, Varus may not be strong enough to compete at high levels of play, but in lower ones he can be really, really effective.
