Well, that's the thing - each carry offers different things. It would be guesswork telling you exactly what Varus has to offer, but I think he's a mix between other carries. But none of his skills are an exact replica of another skill, so I think he would end up being a very unique carry with great poke range, decent harass and a bit of zoning capabilities. And somewhat of Ashe's utility in teamfights, except his ult doesn't have global range.

Other than that, I think he'll be a bit harder than other carries, because you need to effectively use his skills to maximize dmg.

On your question - should and why would you buy him:

If you're playing carries, it's best to have 'em all (no, really). Like I said, they offer different things.

What does he add - longest (range) poke in the game, probably. And hp-reduction that'll end up being very good or insignificant, depending on how easy you can counter it.

P.S: I love archers, he's an archer - 'nuff said.
