Nasus slow is ugly.

MunchCrunchLunch··2 votes·836 views

the cd is too short. and by far its the best slow in this game. too much utility. and its just too good on him. this isn't a qq thread. I have about 60k mastery with nasus and i think hes alittle too strong with the current tenacity with that slow. hes extremely hard to kite. and again the cd is too low for it.

considering hes one of the only champs lift without a gap closer, or escape, it neither is too op, or too good.

Nasus is in a really good place right now. not too strong, not too weak.

Without that slow just the way it is, Nasus would be a free kill, and his pick/win rate would be trash.

also considering that the average game length is going down, his impact on the game is becoming less and less. A farmed nasus is something to be feared, but seen less frequently.

because a juggernat needs a gap closer. holy shit dude. free kill? yeah one shotting someone is definitely a free kill.

Well it's their fault for letting him farm.

Nasus counter tip. End the game early :P Nasus does not enjoy short games.

Nasus is relevant the moment he completes FH. Also, against many champions he easily wins at around 200 stacks along with resistance to their damage type which occurs very early in the game. It's even possible to win right at level 1 against some of them.

By the time he gets enough stacks to 1 or 2 shot squishies, ADCs will have a QSS for it (or a Mikael's on their support) and mages probably won't even get in range.

i wont bother putting any of them, i can get yelled at and down voted into oblivion with whats already there...not need to put in extra keystrokes.

we're not all pro players or high elo. I've lost every single game in the past few weeks against nasus. i get early kill. I poke him to fucking hell to deny him farm. and he always comes back. always. no matter how much poke I do. he heals off his passive too much. hell even if he doesn't build tanky. I do my best. and it just doesn't happen. it doesn't. doesn't matter how many damn times you kill him in lane.

still disagree with original post for reasons.

ps: told you it was enough to get yelled at and the reasons didnt matter*[slayer-jinx-wink]*

Don't agree. Nasus needs something for how easy it is to kite him during a teamfight. If he doesn't get something to actively beat on, he dies very quickly without his lifesteal, even as a tank. Old Wither might have been terrible to play against, sure... but as he is now, I'd say he's in a state of being 'balanced', even with the potential to infinitely scale.

wait did you just say hes easy to kite. but he has to have the slow so hes not easy to kite? i don't get the mind fuck here

"during a teamfight." He has to have a way to stop something from getting away. Even then, he's easily peeled off because CC is a thing. The only time Wither will ever be a problem is one on one. But honestly? By mid / lategame, you shouldn't be trying to 1v1 Nasus.

if you have a dash it's easy to stop it

I definitely see what you are saying. It is really hard to kite when I either you and proc storm raiders surge, suddenly you can barely slow me. I feel like I have a very easy time catching people. I have 110k btw

Yeah well, Trundle 's pillar has an AoE wither, soooo i think Nasus can have a single target one.

the cd is too short

11 seconds is too short for an ability that does absolutely nothing other than slow movement by less than 60% and attack speed by 30% for five seconds?

Champions get longer-range abilities that deal damage and stun on shorter cooldowns than that.

I have about 60k mastery with nasus

lol....not enough. I'm 300K on Azir and I'm barely qualified to talk about his balance.
