I'm just saying, he's not as good as Graves is now. Graves has that true grit passive, the blinding smoke that also slows, and he's got that little dash he can use to help him get away. (You said he was like Graves on release)
Varus just has the poke from his Q, the blight damage steroid (which is pretty good) and a high cooldown aoe slow.
No sustain, subpar early game damage and in my experience he gets outdamaged by most ad carries in lane.
He's like a watered down version of a bunch of ADs.
His damage steroid isn't as good as vayne's.
His AoE slow isn't as good as graves'.
His Q is great for poking. But not as great as KogMaw.
His ult is just a shorter range, harder to land version of ashe's ult. Except ashe's ult stuns. His just snares.
My problem is that he doesn't do anything that you can't do better by picking a different champ.
