Does Riot just want to see Nasus in Pro player or what?

Buff nobody needed any nobody asked for. Even tho he is only playable in low elo.

I would disagree check my op.gg diamond MMR and plat 1 player ex master ''smurf'' aka banned

Nasus was op before the buff now he is just broken same will happen with every overloaded kit. Jax Udyr Veigar etc. Basically you have a champion that is supposed to be weak early but he has free life steal free dmg free armor pen free double exaust every 6 sec or so free hp% dmg mixed dmg. If Riot was to idk lower his base HP stats and cut the life steal passive he would be balanced. OR just do what old Cho'gath used to be you die you lose part of stacks works on Draven, Mejai's etc. yet cho veigar and Nasus kinda skip that rule.

What you need to count in are other changes that hapened. We saw Nasus in pro play and with easier stacking without any trade off he will just grow in popularity.

I asked for it, I wanted to play Nasus Jungle for a long time but he was so weak compared to other champs. This is a 10/10 update, and with the insane amounts of stun these days its not even broken.

Nasus and being OP in Nexus blitz if played by anyone who knows what they're doing.

Name a more iconic duo.

i see what you're saying but Nasus falls off late game. He peaks mid-game.

I've gotten 400 stacks at 20 within the past 2-3 patches, so i'm sure you can get much more by 20 now with this buff

his laning phase after like level 4 was acceptable. His passive lets him shrug off harass. But yea another big DAMAGE buff to force him into viability. Kinda not about that. He could even afford to lose stacking potential/dmg if they took another route and buffed his mobility.

Not to mention that giving him increased damage also means he has more sustain. 24% Lifesteal for hitting level 11 and as of right now probs with 500 stacks makes for some fine sustain. Cant bully him off farm or stop him unless it is a 3v1 with 2 CC bots and permanent Grievieous wounds cause he presses Q, hits something for 800 damage with Triforce, Base and AD scaling on a 1 second cooldown and just shrugs off the damage.

Actually it's level 13. And do u want to deny him farm at level 13? I mean u do that between level 1 and 10

Agreed. Even so, the immobiles typically just have raw power, and this is just more raw power. The mobile ones tend to have the real outlandish mechanics. Wind Wall, True Stealth, resettable AoE execute, etc.

Immobiles have mountains of raw power in their abilities. Ex. Annie's CC burst, Nasus' 95%/47.5% MS/AS targeted slow, Feast, etc.

Yes, it's 24 in ARAM, and would have been 36 in Nexus Blitz if the x3 buff had remained.

The reason for this buff in particular is because Nasus is statistically weak (yes, even in low ELO), and this is a buff that still leaves significant room to outplay him (as it's a completely reasonable thing to say "Force Nasus off of cannon so he doesn't get strong") and actually probably helps higher tier more than low tier (as lower tier players are almost always worse at CSing, he's more likely to not get the cannon stacks).

Depends how you do it. I like to fight camps with smaller monsters so I can get lots of stacks from q on minions while autos and e whittle away the big one. Only the buffs and gromp really require multiple q hits.

Idc what they do with champions for the buff, but they need to keep large monsters where they are as it makes Nasus Jungle a viable pick.

And his real issues shouldn't be even fixed, as long as his design is: "im not going to interact with you for 10 minutes and then wack you with the cane all the time with no counterplay" he doesn't deserve to be viable.

Seriously, we can say that Zoe or Teemo are cancerous, but they are much more fair than unkiteable Nasus, or a good laner nasus.
