Your argument isn't 100% true bro ;)

You think to much in the schema of the ingame-reality. If you think that they would every kill each other with auto attacks, then the other abilities have to count too. I mean, you see ingame how varus charges his bow for the q, and it flies pretty fast so it would outside the game be even faster then a standard attack, while i can't really state how fast ashes ult would be, it would sure still be VERY fast, but the thing is: it only injures (destroys) the first thing it hits, if this thing is a tree, then goodbye tree, but that wouldn't harm varus and i really don't think that he would get hit in a forest ;)

Another thing is, that varus can attack from different angles! His e is a hail of arrows which are all deadly cause of the blight poising, and very hard to dodge while his q can pierce throw several trees and still kill someone like ashe with ease. It's also very hard to hit someone running around in the center of the chest or in the eye, so another disadvantage for ashe, because varus shots are deadly everywhere. As for ashe and her slow, i think in "the real world" you could explain her slow like that: The arrows are damn cold, so after a shot into the leg, the muscles would slowly freeze, impairing someones movement, but even that wouldn't help ashe either, if she manages to shoot varus in the leg he's already unable to run away! And as I said, varus shoots ashe in the leg? Well, she will probably die because of the blight.

And ashes abilities? Everyone keeps talking about her passive, shot into the eyes = dead and so on... You know what? We are not talking about the ingame situation, and outside the game NOBODY guarentees you that the first shot does hit anything. The other way around, if varus lands his first shot he would kill her also right away! Her q means, that it only affects varus if he's already hit -> his movement is already impaired, her w gets also stuck in the trees, because they fly in the false angle, other then varus e. The e would probably not be an arrow but an real eagle, which would be shot down by varus before he could tell ashe anything. Unrealistic? Even in reallife archers were able to shoot down spying birds. And last but not least, her ult would be just another arrow like the others, it doesn't change anything! The additional range doesn't help, and short distance, a normal arrow would be deadly too

And Avarosa killed the watchers with her bow? Tell me more about how AVAROSA killed the watchers. See? It was AVAROSA, not ashe. And the bow doesn't make her special at all, cause if she could handle it probably, she would have one this nasty tribe war of hers immediatly if the bow is so mighty, but it surely isn't, it was avarosa the whole time. We don't know much about ashe, but she did nothing that special, she didn't win the war at all, while varus killed well trained noxian troops, she can't defeat some barbarians. varus killed everyone, before AND after his infestation.

Some small fact i want to throw in here: Varus comes from Ionia, a land which has some forests to call their own while ashe comes from the freljord, and there aren't any trees at all which means, varus is more familiar with the environment.

You also said ashe had an advantage because of her clothing? Nope. just no. We are talking about a masterly crafted long bow, augmented by demonic power and a god slayer bow and you think that a little cloth armor (xD) would stop their arrows? I don't think anything is really capable to resist them, but if there were, it would be varus' demonic skin (and i don't think that it could)

Furthermore, the Corruption improves varus, yes. how much is impossible to say, but there's nowhere stated that it cripples him, that just isn't any argument at all. If i look at him walking, i see the posture of an archer and hunter, and believe me or not, it's much easier to shoot in no time from a position like that. nothing with "it cripples him". (Fun Fact: Ingame he's faster then ashe)

In Conclusion, that means: Varus has more expierence, was more powerful, has more physical strength (Corruption), combat advantage (attack from different angles) and his shots have a slight edge, because the kill, no matter where they hit. Varus is stronger, but even the territory helps him in this scenario, as he can use all of his strengths, while ashe is just impaired by the environment.

tl;dr: Varus wins the fight with ease

PS: I didn't even mention his ult/the power of the Corrupiton, which would give varus an even bigger advantage!
