I'm falling for it. First I have to ask if your post is satire or if it is your honest impressions?

Alright then...

Q: has a long range, and can be used for trick shooting as it's a skill shot and can penetrate blocking obstacles. Keep in mind he has no escapes for when you close with him.

W: Lots of abilities and items are %-based so let's just move on. Vayne and Kog'Maw are the immidate candidates for being even more best carry in the game. What Vaus brings is a little magic that lets him take away a lot of the targets health with 1 shot (but only when building AP, and still Kog'Maw would also be able to compete with Varus here).

E: Wow. This ability is really not very unique. It's a lot like MF's AoE slow with the added benefit of reducing healing... which is not that interesting unless we look a a few specific champions, and even then MF can do that to them as well. E is not doing %-based damage to all targets.

R: "All" it does is root the targets. No stun - no prevention of auto attacking or using abilites.

Passive: A weak version of Jax? Steroids which can't be activated on demand (see Tristana and plenty of others for on demand steroids).

With that being said I have seen a lot of Varus players, and a few skins already so yeah Riot have made a champion that is welcomed by the community as being very popular.

You caught this fish.
