User blog:Willbachbakal/(Champion Rework) Varus, the Arrow of Retribution

This is a tentative rework for Varus, the Arrow of Retribution. As a marksman, Varus makes some very unique contributions, providing a good amount of crowd control on top of sniping, tank-busting and initiation capabilities. Problem is, though, he doesn't shine as best as he could in those aspects, mostly due to poor kit optimization. His passive steroid is the biggest offender, giving him a stat he scales really well with (attack speed may be Varus's core stat), at the cost of poor usability and weak numbers. Other parts of his kit are also loaded with mechanics he doesn't really need, such as the grievous wounds on his E or the on-hit damage on his W, and dilute the overall strengths of his kit. In order to shine, Varus needs some of his abilities to be trimmed down in order to be optimized.

On top of this, I think AP Varus deserves to shine alongside AD Varus: AP Varus is unique in that he can burst down even tanks, and I think his playstyle needs to be shifted even more in favor of that, whereas AD Varus deals more consistent DPS throughout a fight. Both playstyles need to be preserved while keeping their differences, and I feel shifting some of Varus's abilities around would also help achieve that.

Abilities
What do you think of these changes? Do you think they'd improve Varus, and do they improve his core strengths? Would AD and AP Varus still both be viable with this kit?
