I really like Varus and try to learn him. As his new skin is coming soon (hopefulyl), there is more reason for me to main him. However, it bugs me that Kogmog (my current main) can perform better in many aspects.

Kog and Varus are relatively similar: High dmg, no escape, poke and cc. However, Kog's kit seems to be better:

Varus's Q cannot poke as hard as Kog's ulti :( While they both have a slow, I have to keep Varus's E to proc Blighted stacks and can't use it more offensively to poke or  trade. Kog's AS steroid is more reliable than Varus since it is up all the time. And I think AD Kog will have higher range, more reliable and higher on-hit dmg. WHile AP Varus' W can potentially out dmg Kog's W, all of Kog abilities scale with AP while only 2 of Varus do. I am not trying to say that Kog is superior than Varus. THough, I don't want to learn another character  who at best can be barely equal with my previous character :(

Am I doing it wrong? Is there anything I can do to improve my experience with Varus? When playing AD, I get berserker shoes, 2 dorans, Zeal then IE and PD. Finishing with LW and either BT or QSS, GA, BV. I max W first to maximize trading power then Q  and E. Standard 21/0/9 mastery with AmrPen Quints, AD mark, armor seal and resist per lv glyph
