QoL buff to Nasus' Theme (not his gameplay)

XxxLumberJackxxX··524 votes·18,077 views

I think his Q sound and visual effect should scale with stacks.

0-100 stacks- almost no sound 101-200 Current sound level 201-300 Bump up sound, add a particle to the hit 301-450 Louder, more particles 451+ I want the ground to be mashed under his target

Yes! Clarity!

This is actually a very good and nice idea. Adds coolness and clarity (ohh that clarity)

You are right, this is super important for the clarity! Major Balance issue! @meddler @riot

Let the upvotes commence!

Would lightning striking at like 600+ be themeatic or not? Maybe just an explosion? It needs to be 'this is my boomstick'

If nothing else editing sound levels should take almost no money or time should it?

Well, this would obviously take some coding work that might be more advanced then you think.

The only time you ever see an "evolve over time" mechanic (note: not like Kha'zix or Viktor) is in the ultimate skins. Basically, what your asking for is almost the same thing that DJ Sona has, and I'm not sure Riot would want to do that for a champion and all of his skins.

Don't get me wrong, though. It's an awesome idea.

I agree with you. And it seems like if we get another ultimate skin, it's probably not going to be for the big dog.

Electro5221 votes

Unfortunately. :(

Although, I do suspect that the next ultimate skin will belong to either a top laner, or mid laner. But, since Nasus just got a legendary not too long ago, it will more then likely not be for him.

CubedJustice2 votes

Perhaps a Maokai ultimate skin. His current skins are pretty lackluster, and he's rather popular.

Nobody really plays TF. Maybe Ahri?

Your Onee Sama1 votes

just got the callenger ahri skin. My tipp is that we either get an maokai or a leblanc ult skin. You know, leblanc is riots little baby XD

CubedJustice3 votes

I'd be super stoked for Maokai, but a Zed ultimate skin seems more likely, as he only has one readily available skin.

Zac size scales with his health, this would be about the same thing.

I think you are overthinking this. Ultimates don't really have evolving effects, they have evolving models. This would just be a special effect change based on stacks, only slightly more complicated than what Zac has. Although the lightning might be a bit much...

Now, while we are talking about Theme QoL changes WHEN IS XERATH GETTING A REAL ULT? I'm tired of the peashooter ;-;

Electro5226 votes

Making a model bigger is FAR easier then making sounds more vibrant and intimidating. Also, DJ Sona does evolving music and sounds.

Aych Pii3 votes

Yeah, but with that skin we're talking three entirely different models, sharply designed on different thematic grounds each tied to an entire musical piece composed for maximum synergy with the model. A little bit of bonus effort into particles and having a few extra, similar sound effects is nothing compared to that, it's a feature I wouldn't be at all surprised to see on a newer champion's basic abilities.

ArkenStorm1 votes

seriously tho bruh. the peashooter that is way too hard to land. the radius should go completely to the line, instead of stopping just short of it, and the particle could be way cooler. I would also say up the ratio to 50% AP, wtf is with 43%. I wouldn't mind if they changed it to 50% ap ratio and base damage was nerfed by like 20.

I have no idea how coding works, but wouldn't it simply be something like:

Champion code = Nausus {Nausus Q animations: Nausus Q stacks 0-50 = True; Animation A Nausus Q stacks 51-100 = True; Animation B etc}

I honestly don't know so anybody who does would be great :)

ArkenStorm1 votes

it would pretty much be about that simple, the hard part would be attaching the animations.

At 1000+ stacks it just gives your game the windows blue screen

451+ A warning popup displays on your screen reminding you how many minutes you've been farming and that you have a team.

At 601+ Stacks your minimap icon changes to Nasus with a farmer hat on (or Asian rice patty hat) At 1001+ Stacks a red icon starts flashing in the middle of your screen that simply says "GO 1 SHOT THE NEXUX!"

Awesome idea, maybe Fiery particles for Infernal Nasus... +1

nasus could have the best ultimate skin his q animation can evolve, his model while ulting can change during it... his w animation could grow as the slow grows..

Farmer Nasus should be 2015/2016's ultimate skin :D

was about to suggest this. If Nasus could ride a tractor during his ultimate somehow I would feel completely satisfied dishing out the dollars for that skin

Jingerbeardman2 votes

I dont say this often but... I like it.

Maybe not the making it louder and louder part. would rather it have additional sound effects added to it as it built

otherwise, yes.

Not sure how the clarity thing figures in if you are the unsuspecting victim though since the damage is done by the time you see the bonus effects. more clarity for teammates though I suppose and future reference.

xCrimsonx xWolfx2 votes

although that is a nice idea but i don't know if you guys have noticed that when playing as "Infernal nasus" his Q animation is affected with the number of stacks he has, the depth of the colour, the imprint of his cane on the ground and the black entrails that follows when he activates Q becomes more vibrant and the colour becomes darker as he stacks more and more. not to mention his quotes when he reaches a specific amount of stacks e.g when he reached 150 stacks and so on.

this feature isn't available with the default skin , if it was included in the default skin there wouldn't be alot that would separate a legendary and a default skin, and for a legendary skin there should be something unique about it which makes it stand out amongst other skins and i guess this feature is one of those which make it a legendary skin

Saint Archer2 votes

this would also rock with the different skins, like the skins with axes use a chopping sound, and k9, pharoe, and archduke nasus can have whacking log sounds

MacDthree2 votes

at the 600+ stacks can tears just start spewing from all members of the enemy team's eyes. Cause i think that would most accurately describe what is happening. Such Clarity. Wow.
