Lethalithy gutted him because he wants to run Full AD but Old ArmPen meant he could flat out remove Armor numbers by a complete whole.

Champs that already run a whole load of Armor Pen like Jayce, Draven, Talon and Zed did not feel the Lethality changes and some others like Twitch, Vayne and GP already have viable Critical Strike Builds anyway. What made Varus very good was the fact that you could flat out negate early Armor and still be relevant early on with an AD Focused build after building Youmuu and Maw of Malmortius/Duskblade on him. Now not so much.

I guess the AS Buffs come a way into giving him life as a Jhin-like caster-carry.
