I honestly agree (and that's the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw Varus' scaling) that he can be played as AP. However, I don't think 100 extra magic damage per hit (500AP) is all that good, considering you'll have about 150 ad and no crit chance. Compared to other carries' damage, that is.

Like I said, though, I think he's AP-viable and that (Malady + full AP) will be one of the first builds I try on him.

The guy before me, though, mentions a hybrid - I don't believe in hybrids in this game. The amount of true hybrids is laughable and Riot usually shifts new hybrids' playstyle to "pure" something in favor of dmg.
