I'd give Varus the edge. Why? Let's see...

Varus was, as already said, an extremely competent and powerful warrior before his infestation, meaning that one of Ionias most talented soldiers (and Ionia has a shietload of powerful soldiers) must've been an horrible foe for those noxians, but after his infestation he's even more powerful.



Furthermore Varus has the power of this Pit. THE POWER TO OVERWHELM WHOLE IONIA! And the power of this godforsaken pit is concentrated in Varus, who has no problem with using it. So what do we have? We have a very trained and battle hardened soldier with the power of a feared demonic pit who's only goal is to search and to destroy. Honestly, i think that's enough...



...but if not, there would be varus weapon: I'm not quite sure if it's his bow, transformed throught the infestiation or a completely new one but it's like two bows combined to one, is much larger (it grows ingame so it grows outgame), also, ashe may be able to strike some critical blows, but EVERY attack from varus is infested from his blighted quiver so his attacks deal more damage.



Talking about his abilities, let's look closer at them. MF can't make an ult outside the league? Seems logical, but I'm very sure that varus can make his q, meaning he could fire some VERY long range arrows which would simple penetrate trees and everyone behind them. I already mentioned his w but what about his e? his e means he can make an hail of arrows over a large area, coming from abouth they would hit everyone in a forest. And his ult? I'm not sure how THIS would look outside the league, but some things seem pretty clear: this thing spreads out, meaning he could use the corruption to spread out and find ashe, which would, beeing snared not be able to dodge any of varus attacks.



And what about ashe?



Pretty simple: She's no challenge for varus, especially since he has  not the power of Varus' Corruption to her hands, and her skills wouldn't do much in such a combat neither: Her passive means nothing more that she can land some critical strikes, but all her other skills don't help her much: q? it's already fight or die, a slow changes nothing. w? don't forget, it's a forrest and outside the league, the arrows would get stuck in trees. same for ult, it IS useful, but i don't think she could find an ankle in a FOREST. and her e doesn't cover such a large area and even if she's lucky and finds him with it: he can also see from which direction the arrow came, so that's no real advantage for ashe



In conclusion, this does mean: Varus is stronger/better, has additional power through the Corruption and has skills that help him in such a combat situation much more. I see no  way how ashe could win this at all
