I haven't been a big fan of Varus but after watching EU use him so much I decided to give him another try. So far, he has been ok. I just don't like his lack of escapes so I think I'll have to adjust how I play with him. I'm used to Caitlyn, Vayne, and Ezreal so I am used to being able to have an ability to help with getting away.
Hey, why nobody mentions Kog'Maw anymore? He has great poke post 6, super high range, super high damage and is still the strongest lategame ad-carry. Especially with the constant % damage shredd. The only thing bad about him is that you have to build a full team around him to protect him, like Zilean mid (that is why Zilean was once popular, btw), Yorick top, Nautilus jungle (mostly for the superb peeling and initiating) and Leona support (another one to peel, better than Nunu & Willump, but Nunu & Willump is still a great teammate). While Zilean and Yorick offer a great earlygame, Nautilus and Kog'Maw scale mostly into lategame, balancing this out. Also, nobody can dive that Kog'Maw, which means free win.
Kog'Maw is still played, although there is an onslaught of Ezreal and Varus play.
Problem with him was always the possibility of shutting him down early. Which isn't so hard to do if you don't have the right team for it. Kind of like Vayne.
Seems teams are running safe ADs nowadays mostly. Twitch is safe-ish with his Q, Miss Fortune makes up for lack of escape with a strong presence all through the game.
It all comes down to playstyle really. Graves played by imaqtpie is very effective due to his very aggressive play.

Since hes one of the silliest LoL players out there im not really surprised, he just needs some people that have the guts to use him but on the other hand if people lose with him at competitive levels everyone will be like " OMG WHAT A NOOB! WHY DID HE USE SUCH A BAD CHAMPION? and bla bla bla
Gave you a good laugh or helped? rep+ so i can know ;)
Thanks to TinyStar, Jhoi, Xiaowi, Virus, Bard and Arcana(eww)...for my signatures!
Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.
Heres my Shyvana guide! I will dance in their ashes
Does Ashe even exsist anymore? XD
I find she is quite similar to Varus but instead of early damage she brings mroe utility and late game. But I guess that is her downfall, being an actually adc rather than scaling like an ad caster >.<
Interested to see what Morello has cooked up for her changes to her passive that he keeps talking about though..

Mundo goes where he pleases.
And pleases, where he goes.

Tristana is awesome too, though. Only the "old" Nasus could shut her down a bit with his 95% AA speed slow but not anymore^^
