User blog comment:The5lacker/Varus is not a normal AD carry/@comment-5266525-20130612210833

At first, I was fairly neutral to the tone of this blog, but then you had to throw in this ridiculously arrogant little jab:

"... and if I see you mindlessly building from the standard AD carry recommended items list, I'm going to automatically assume you're a moronic slave to the meta, incapable of thinking for yourself and blindly following whatever builds are popular at the moment."

Because, you know, you are, after all, the god of League of Legends, The5lacker, and anyone else who disagrees with you is clearly a drooling moron, no matter how good their arguments are and how clearly their rebuttals are worded.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way.

Varus is completely fine when building as a 'blisteringly boring' AD carry. If you're going to bash people for doing something that works, then at least bring some decent proof. From what I can tell, you have no idea on what scaling is at all.

AD Varus scales into lategame with crit, AD and AS. AP Varus scales into lategame with enemy health, AP and CDR. What does hybrid Varus scale with? He has no crit, so autoattacks are out of the question. Your abilities have already fallen off. The only thing that you can conceivably carry with is your Blight detonations, which are still markedly weaker than those of an AP Varus due to lower AP and being unable to efficiently itemize penetration. At that point, you have to ask yourself, "Why didn't I just go AP Varus in the first place?"
