Yes, omg, a Marksman that doesn't auto. It's so awful when I have Piercing Arrow at a 3 second cooldown that deals over 600 damage to squishys and basically clears an entire wave of minion alongside E. The only thing Varus loses are Attack Speed. He gains Muramana procs, BOTRK procs, W on-Hit and possible crit chance if you decide to build IE. There is literally no point in building him like a normal ADC.

His reliance on his Q to succeed makes him to dependant on that skill to not use it but going normal ADC means you never have the mana for it. Varus doesn't have to go in auto range thanks to his Q and going for auto range when you have such a conditional AS boost and no AD Steroids is pretty much null.

Build him blue, go bot or mid. He is not a terrible Blue Caster user, he is a terrible marksman.
