No reliable AS steroid, no crit synergy, 25% AP on-hit with bonus % max health scaling, a 100% AP ratio ult...

Yeah, no, Varus is a hybrid. He does hybrid things, and he does them rather effectively.

As for why you would choose AP Varus over other AP champs, Varus is a DPS AP champ. Those don't exist much. He has both an incredibly strong on-hit effect with % health damage, but also longer than average autoattack range and a strong base AS. Most other on-hit champs don't get the range Varus does, and I can't think of a single mage with the tank killing power of a fed AP Varus. AP Varus does what normal ADCs do: Constant, extraordinary DPS. Only he does it with % health damage without BotRK that doesn't get reduced the lower an enemy is and a 100% AP scaling nuke/disable.
