His BAT is pretty low yeah. Ironically this seems to be the case for most every ADC at level  1 and 18, as most of the ADCs are only 1 AD within each other base AD wise. The only exceptions are Vayne (53 lvl 1, 108 lvl 18) and Graves (54 lvl 1, 106 lvl 18).

However the reasoning for this I believe is his W, which gives him % hp magic damage and a passive on hit Magic damage booster. At max level (Normally maxed by 13 for me. I run RQWE, as I rarely use E for anything other than a slow escape or to pop stacks), Varus essentially has a free Pickaxe from the blighted magic damage stacks. With a teammate that runs wota like Morde or Vlad, or a support that boosts AP like Sona, Lulu and Taric, Varus can increase that bonus damage higher and get more out of it. It's for that reason I think it's that low. o-o;
