Tell me more about this attack speed steroid of his.

Everything about Varus is unreliable. His passive promotes snowbally fights, but that is not the job of an ad carry. Ad carries are there to provide enough damage to soften up tanky targets and take towers. If you don't build magic penetration (which you won't as ad Varus) a Runic Bulwark is enough to gut your W damage to laughable amounts.

Q and E are nice for the lane, but Q is weak in team fights (can proc W though) and you need E (weak scaling) to peel for yourself most of the time.

That leaves his ult, which is really good, but not as damaging or useful as Ashe's. Of course Varus' overall damage is higher, but his abilities get worse and worse as the game progresses, while Ashe only has utility moves to begin with, which stay useful all game.

He is just overall not as good as Ashe late game, if you know what I mean. Ashe is easier to peel for and has better utility than Varus. Again, I'm not saying that Varus is bad. If you want a early-mid game stomper with some utility, sure go for Varus. There are just other carries that are also good early to mid and do more damage late game as well.
