Ashe doesn't have global range stun, herp derp. It's the same range as Pantheon's Mandrop and Lux's Lazor.

And besides, a ground slow with healing reduction is still very nice.

He's not shit compared to Ashe. By your logic, all it would take to be better than Ashe is to purchase a Frozen Mallet. Ashe has one of the best initiators in the game, but Varus' Ult is a nice initiator as well. Ashe has stun, Varus has Immobilise. Ashe ult is amazing to move past the front line into their backrow and start hurting the enemy carries. Varus ult is amazing because immobilise is strong enough that the enemy will reflexively break up formation.

Ashe is great with some fast moving bruisers to swoop in after her ult initiator.

Varus is great for buying more time with a poking team, as well as seperating key memebers of an enemy strategy.

Pick whoever you need for your particular team comp. Either way, they're still great picks.
