Varus sucks? REALLY?

Why does everyone keep thinking EACH AND EVERY AD champions needs an epic steroid + escape tool? Your Q has ~1500 range after charging, which is enough to keep EVERYONE away. Only Nidalee can damage you from that far. And you should just dodge her. Yes, 550 is not really epic range, but how do you think you should play without steroid? By poking. Q is the best poke this game has, I think. Better than Ashe's Volley, which is also excellent. Just play him like Ashe should be played - Farm, harras enemy with Q (for Ashe: W), farm, if enemy gets close, E to slow, then walk away, when you hit level six, you should have brought enemies to half health (that happens to me in EACH game I play with Ashe). Then you ult, E just behind them (or on them), and start using basic attacks. They run? No problem. Charge Q, then shoot it right in their faces (or back, actually). Because you detonate the blight stack with it, you deal epic damage, most likely 115 + 1.5/AD (if you hit minions, you were doing something wrong) physical damage, + 6% of their max health as magic damage. At level six, after that combo, they don't survive it. Ok, you got the first? Well done. Now attack the second with your 40% bonus AD from your passive. Which makes you have 1.2 as instead of 0.9, or something like that. Double kill.
