Talk:Varus/@comment-212.117.1.33-20120509173909

He has no AD or AS boosting ability (passive is hard to utilize). All he has is somewhat nice range, but when it comes to autoattacking (his cooldowns are high) he doesn't do a lot of damage, unlike other AD carries (Graves, Vayne, Kog'Maw). Also, no escape mechanism.

You say Q is OP? Yes, it's an awesome ability, but it's probably the only ability that's better than other carries'.

You say W is OP? Look at Kog'Maw's W.

You say E is OP? Who cares about healing reduction these days when anyone can get Ignite or item that reduces healing (we have both for AD and AP champions now), and how's it anything different than Kog'Maw's E, Miss Fortune's E or Graves's W if you're arguing about the slow?

You say R is OP? Deals almost no damage, and is not that good of a CC; the enemy can still use autoattacks and abilities, and all it takes to avoid getting hit by it from a nearby teammate is to just walk away, it doesn't slow like Morgana's ultimate, neither it's instantaneous like Amumu's ultimate.

I don't have Varus yet, but I've played against a lot of them, and I can't really see why people are crying OP; he seems mediocre to me (not UP, but balanced).

All in all, despite what I said here, I will buy him, because I see him as a fun champion to play. I generally can't play AD carries, because it's just so boring autoattacking all the time, that's why the only AD carry I'm playing is Ezreal. Now Varus will be added to my collection of fun AD carries. :)
