If Nasus has infinite power, then he should not have infinite sustain.

I'm talking about his passive. the fact that his passive also become stronger the more he Q's is I think part of the big problem when it comes to his concept. Giving a champion an infinite power gimmick is already questionable but also giving him infinite life steal is what I find makes him "Unbalanced" as unpopular as that opinion may be.

If he really must have the life steal passive why not give it a cool down? Like Poppy's passive for example. Doing so would make him a little more manageable in team fights rather then a 1v5 wrecking machine that there is no way to prevent him fro becoming late game.

How about we don't make him even more dogshit?

It's only "infinite sustain" if he can isn't being kited. His lifesteal is as "infinite" as an ADC's, except his range isn't as long.

Sounds like someone had a late game champion kill him recently.

That's not the point, by infinite sustain I mean as his Q gets stronger without a limit so to does his life steal. It grows in power just as much as his damage does. Q's for a bunch of damage is one thing but getting 600-800 health back every 2 seconds with each Q is a problem.

Along with fighting Nasus in melee range without some sort of healing reduction and backup when he's got more than like 500 stacks, I recommend not chasing Singed, or diving the fountain. You need to think of how to fight around champion power and not into it or ignoring 100 other aspects of the game like Roots, ... or... the fact that you're on a team... or shut down Nasus real early to give yourself a longer window.

clearly this guy is having some issues with nasus and lifesteal and lategame. maybe, just MAYBE you should try item 3165 or item 3123 . but what do i know, not like im a nasus main or something

Who complains about Nasus lol

But he's useless until like 40 minutes in the game and can still get kited hard. It's tanky melee Veigar.

Once he builds even the slightest cool down Nasus can perma slow you with Wither and then Kiting does not become an option anymore. Especially with his ghost active as well.

If only stuns, roots, and blinds were a thing that existed in this game...

Nasus can never mathmatically perma slow you. Even with 45% cooldown reduction (you know.. .the max possible with talents included) that is 6.05 seconds of a cooldown. It lasts for 5 seconds. 1.05 second window gap where he can't have wither on you. Thus not permanent. It is close, but not perma slow. Also, 45% isn't 'the slightest amount' of cooldown. Most Nasus max Wither last. So that's only even going to happen at lvl 18 normally... which is late game which is where Nasus is designed to be at his peak.

dont forget the mana costs. you can only do a couple withers in a fight if you didnt go past sheen in mana.

item 3165 item 3123 summoner 14 Stop his lifesteal?

summoner 1 item 3140 Remove Wither?

summoner 4 summoner 6 item 3285 item 3151 item 3116 item 3025 item 3022 item 1001 Kite?

item 3135 item 3001 item 3033 Penetration?

summoner 3 Slow him down and escape, or fight him when he's exhausted.

Once it's 40+ minutes into the game,

he's basically a melee Jinx Vayne Tristana Cassiopeia Twitch Veigar

or some tanky version of Irelia Jax Olaf MasterYi Yasuo

which means you do not try to 1v1 him. Get your hypercarry adc which should be building grevious wounds/armor penetration or your midlane mage building Rylai's and Void Staff with some CDR, maybe Liandry's, and kite him. He's still going to be kitable at that stage of the game.
