I wouldn't say AP Varus isn't viable, he is - to a degree. That being said, I do agree that AD Varus is usually more reliable in, like, 99% of the comps and has better early/mid, mostly of the time late game too. I do still enjoy AP Varus more though, just for that kind of chunking playstyle and % damage altogether with this great ult. He feels better than most of the other mages to me, so I guess I'm gonna stick to him no matter how much worse than AD Varus he is. I am hoping Riot will eventually release % on-hit damage "life steal" item for these niche champions that could use it (That won't probably happen after all the troubles with F. Flare, though). Or, another way around, they could just make spellvamp work with his W detonation.
