How does Varus even exist like this? He has nothing good over other adcs, less damage, less utility, less scaling, less cc etc. Normally, this would mean he's all round but Varus just sucks I can think of no reason to justify why I would play him over someone like Ashe for CC, Cait for utility/range, or any other adc for damage.

I can even compare his skills and his overall kit with other carries.

1. AA range. Is pretty shit. 575 is 25 more than normal but what difference does that make? If you want range, play Cait.

2. Q is seriously one of the worst adc skills in the game (even worse than Ez W). First of all, it does nothing apart from add a measly bit of damage onto your AD. Sure, it damages enemies in a line and is long range but it could at least do damage like Nid's spear on a shorter cooldown. Let alone it actually SLOWS you down AND DISABLES YOUR AAS for '''TWO WHOLE SECONDS. '''It's supposed to be used for farming is it? The drop off damage is less than good and I can farm with other adc's spells which can actually do something in a fight.

3. Passive. Could be worse but really? Are you seriously going to randomly attack a minion in the middle of a fight to get 20% AS boost for 3 secs? And on a champ kill, it gives only double the stats, which were crap in the first place.

4. W is OK. Still sub-par. The passive doesn't give enough damage on hit and when procced... Well it gives decent damage but lets go through how hard it is to unleash that. You have to attack 3 times. Simple enough. Then, you have to decide whether to use a shite ability which takes away from your damage or use an ability on a moderate cooldown or use your ult, which are all skillshots. Let alone the chance that you will miss them, this is hard enough to put up with. If you want %hp damage, play Vayne and rush BotRK.

5. E is ok. But when weighed up with the rest of that shit kit, the cooldown should be less.

6. Ult is pretty good but it's hard to land it on more than 1 person and doesn't scale on AD at all. Needs more damage/scaling.

So, I can see absolutely no reason whatsoever to play Varus over any other adc. Anyone that Varus "counters" is total BS. Varus counters no adc. I would like to pick up a unique champ with different kit to escape from the usual adcs. But Varus is just crap.

tl;dr Varus' kit is really bad, I can't see any reason to play him over anyone else.
