User blog comment:The5lacker/Varus is not a normal AD carry/@comment-5556439-20130614205620

I mained Varus back at the end of season 2 from november to early January and I played both AD and AP Varus. Ap is fun but unviable since your damage comes from proccing a every 3rd hit deal and isnt significant until Deathcap AND Nashors. Also others do his job of high % DMG better with more usefull kits (Think Elise).

Hes an AD Carry when built and played efficiently and his kit revolves around skirmishing and 1v1 fighting. His E reduces healing and slows, its not good for proccing W's alone. Healing reduction fucks enemy ADC's over hard, and can save fleeing allies or slow down fleeing enemies, Its not for the damage. His Q is used for clearing waves, light poke, detonating stacks, and executions from a long range.

His ult isnt bad whatsoever, its a fantastic CC ability that will guaranteed hit every enemy in a teamfight since theyre forced to spread out and screw their fight or take all the crowd control. It also gives a 2nd high CC ability for when your supports wears off, I fail to see logic behind this part.

I see your argument and its true when looking at it from a "maximum total damage" point, but honestly your a little bit wrong when you think of things from a grand scheme. "  first Hybrid carry",      Ezreal was the first hybrid carry, Kog is another, and Tristana wasnt really intended for either or playstyle. Shes just a "Carry" in general. MF has no reason whatsoever to have AP ratios. Not to mention all of the ratios and damage when built AP on her are lackluster I dont care what anyone says, AP MF is trash end of story.

Varus is a hybrid carry that is lackluster if built with a mix of stats. I would know I tried it and it was awful. As I said I mained him for a time.
