blighted quiver gives you 25%, malady 10%, spellsword mastery 5% = 40% every AA - dunno how you reach 80% with him every AA

btw Cassio doesn't need CDR or attack speed and can build raw magic damage or magic penetration instead

700 range is a higher range than many gapclosing abilities of bruisers while 575 is just in range for every gapcloser (are there gapclosers with less than 550 range?)

and how do you harass in lane? skill Q? (this doesn't make much sense because it gets insanely weak without AD); skill W and AA 3 times and use an ability after that? (every smart mid champ will harass you after you used your first attack and won't stay in range for you to hit more often and use another ability); don't harras? (towerhug while you ain't able to push, do you want the other mid champ to farm in peace and push when he wants and roam when he wants and farm neutral minions while you are still busy with the minionwave?) do you want to go bot? (the other ADC will proabably punish you for your earlygame weakness, which delays your lategame or the enemeys can buy magic resist vs AP mid and AP bot which will hurt your midgame)

AP Varus can deal good amounts of singletarget DPS lategame but he has to be mid and AP mid Varus gives your opponents many possibilities early- midgame (enemey mid can: farm in peace, roam as much as he wants, get extra farm, have free backs, while AP Varus will get harassed, cannot roam and his early teamfight presence (> first dragon fights, ...) is bad (2 CC spells and medicore damage)

I would compare AP Varus with Nasus They both need to farm for about 30 minutes until they can become a threat for the enemeys
