And we're back to a champion that is ludicrously oppressive in the 1v1 scenario to the point where it's just unfun as shit to play against him, but continues to be absolutely fucking useless on a team level so you end up winning against him anyways.
When are you going to bite the bullet and just recognize this dude needs a massive makeover.
Illabethe1 votesI'll give you an Upvote. I agree. I argued this both times they buffed his damage. His win rate is NOT correlated with his performance. His win rate is correlated with the conundrum that helping a team versus split pushing a lane are contradictory objectives, and his kit has a built in split pushing incentive, forcing a playstyle for the majority of every game, even if that isn't the best idea.
Unlike Tryndamere and Yorick, who can roam and do their split push while basically rushing minion waves and eliminating them to get to a turret, Nasus has to go slow to ensure Q's. This deprives him of the capacity of ress timers/counterplay to do what they do: Push lanes while also contributing to a team. Nasus does one or the other.
He can have 2000 stacks and still lose a game, simply because it doesn't usually change the outcome of a fight vs champs who are competitive vs him. It only affects teams who are poorly built, who face tank, one after another. Which...... as you go up tiers..... happens less and less.
Doge20201 votesNasus can push a wave very fast if he doesn’t prioritize stacks anymore and is focused more on applying pressure. A maxed E can very easily help push the wave because of the initial damage from cast, the DoT and the armor reduction of enemy units in the area. But besides that very small detail I agree with what you and the OP said.
They need to do something like make his wither able to spread to enemies that are nearby, but nerf the slow of wither in compensation so it doesn’t become gamebreaking.
Illabethe1 votesI know what he "Can do." I'm generally speaking from what he "does do:" Prioritize stacks while in lane, Or Abandon lane at the cost of stacks to work with his team. The latter is rare. The prior happens in 80% of games. I very rarely ever see a Nasus just blow up waves with E to get to a turret in fast manner.
Doge20201 votesYeah I meant later on when he is splitpushing to create pressure and draw some enemies to him. I use E in that scenario to take advantage of one or more enemies being dead to hard push a wave and take a tower. I actually tend to use E a lot more than most because I run biscuit as one of my go to runes on nasus, it makes early trading, poking and wave management easier.
