Hi. I don't know what i'm going to tell is a bug or not but i think this is where is should tell it. Nasus Q Ability Description in league wiki says "Nasus empowers his next basic attack within the next 10 seconds to deal bonus physical damage." and for jax E Ability Description league wiki says "For up to 2 seconds, Jax dodges all basic attacks and takes 25% less damage from area of effect abilities." so if nasus Q is a empowered basic attack its still a basic attack, then it should not deal any damage to jax while his E is active, but as long as i played, Jax E wont stop Nasus Q. i mean Nasus Q hits jax very well even when jax is in his E buff. Nasus Q should be dodged while jax has his E buff, but this wont happen and jax takes the damage. I think it should be similar to Fiora W, league wiki says "Fiora parries the next basic attack within 1.5 seconds and deals magic damage to the attacker", its similar to jax E but Fiora will stop nasus Q and jax don't. so i'm going to conclude that nasus Q is a basic attack and jax E like Fiora W should stop it. But this is not happening so something is wrong. Regards.

Hi,

I agree Nasus Q should be stopped by Jax E like FIora W

Counter Strike will also dodge spells that can proc on-hit effects, including Gangplank's Parrrley, Ezreal's Mystic Shot and Fiora's Blade Waltz, among others. These dodged abilities will count towards Counter Strike's increased damage.

The enhanced attack can not be (Counter Strike) dodged. Siphoning Strike's damage will be mitigated if Nasus's attack is (Aegis Protection) blocked or (Riposte) parried. Siphoning Strike's empowerment will not be consumed if the attack misses.

I don't think it is a bug.

I think this is because Riot doesn't like extremely hard counters to individual champions.

Jax would basically have a two second "You can't do shit, Nasus" ability.

On the other hand, it does seem odd that Jax can block Fiora's ultimate but that may be because Fiora doesn't miss out on all damage - she can still do up to four fifths - and she still has the utility - untargetability. It may also be because of Fiora's role and Nasus' role. Nasus can splitpush and... splitpush more, which Jax would shut down. Fiora has something else even if it isn't much.
