Teemo is a carry? A 1.0 AP ratio on an AoE ultimate is a low ratio? Two offensive abilities that scale off AP isn't enough? O_o

AP Varus can nuke ridiculously hard with his ult and Blight detonations with autoattack damage that is still respectable. AP Varus works even better than AD Varus with Runaan's Hurricane, and he also synergizes well with the new Malady better even than Teemo would since he needs to AA several times to make full use of the Blight. This is coming from someone who was equally skeptical of AP Varus not long ago (I've played him AP a few times this recent free week).
