PBE changes seem interesting. It kinda nerfs the on-hit Varus, because the base damage from his W passive are getting nerfed but in return he gets more situational strength for his Q. His Q is in a pretty weak spot right now anyway. Ever since they nerfed it because of his old Poke-tear build this spell lost almost all power. Higher cooldown, lower damage, immense mana cost. And with his on-hit and crit builds being the favorites this spell is literally only for a fast proc of his W instead of poke.

With the new W activation Q now can at least function as good execute in on-hit builds and maybe it can make his Poke build make a comeback. It wouldn't even be as toxic as it was back then, because his new Q strength is gated by conditions and a high cooldown.
