ok so before you all come in hating on me atleast hear me. Yes i did lose to a nasus it was also a 4v5 with afk's on my team.

however i feel he needs a rework and i have for a long time one reason is because i played a lot of veigar his ap stacking counterpart unlike nasus you cant be tanky and 2 shot people even going full ap hitting almost 2k ap you are squishy and easy to deal with by any assassin. so shouldn't nasus be the same way either tanky or dmg you shouldn't be able to be both and have 20% life steal to boot that surviveability to insane lvls. not to mention the tower dmg late game sometimes 2 q'ing it. yes i know you will all say just don't let him stack. But how is that even a viable statement you cant base balance around don't let him cs cuz that is how you counter everyone am i wrong?

So i don't want him nerfed because in high elo he is bad because everyone as a team counters him and keeps him shut down. with that being said this is just proof he is overpowered if a whole team needs to work to keep him shut down that means 1 champion literally changed there entire play plan because he is that overpowered if left to simply farm. that tells me something is wrong with that champion. but in low elo he is constantly told he is op or no skilled because well his kit has no skill shots and he doesn't take anything special to get insanely strong.so the only solution to fix him in both low elo and high elo is to destroy him and build him from the ground up aka a full rework.

the main point of my post is to get your opinion on this and ideas as to how riot might go about doing the rework.

as stated though i already know the you just cant let him farm argument so if your saying he doesn't need it please give another argument as to why that isn't a valid argument in my book.

None of what you said is remotely a problem for Nasus, being strong, actually. There are far more tank(y) champions that do a tremendous amount more damage then Nasus for free without being gated by stacks. Darius, Gnar, Sion, Ornn, Illaoi, Yorick, Renekton, Trundle, Poppy... I could go on but there is no point. The only, and I mean only, time Nasus ever gets to the point of strong you are claiming is if he literally free farms for 30 minutes and your team takes no gold advantage anywhere on the map. This is absurd anyways b/c the game never lasts this long and literally every champion out damages him early and can impact the game much earlier and more prominently than a Nasus.

Just think of how bad of a shape he will be in when the next 20 champs are reworked with loads of mobility and CC.
