Infinite Stacking; Obesity is trending?

Nasus

Alas, it is time again for me to complain about something I find totally absurd and unneeded. Today, I speak of the tragedy known as "Infinite Stacking."

Champions such as Nasus, Veigar, and a few select others have powers that stack towards infinity if the player is half decent, and that cases a great ruckus in simple games. I am no Challenger level player (Hardly qualified for silver, actually) but I a good enough to best the simple player like me. But even a chimpanzee with a stick and no thumbs can hang onto Nasus Nasus long enough to eventually come back with tank stats and enough stacks to be an ultimate weapon. And, I believe this is wrong at its core.

A game should have some level of skill required to be good, and League is no exception (despite popular belief). And having a champion who can sit in the same lane for 30 minutes, playing safely and farming under tower, to eventually one hit (Or chunk) any champion with the unwavering power of a single "Q" is purely wrong, and must be destroyed.

Now, I can hear the doubt and slander approaching. I understand what you are all thinking, captive audience. "This scrub can't 1v1 Susan!" and "Wow, if you understood counterpicking, you could easily block out a Nasus." and Blah, Blah, Blah. All understandable points made, and I appreciate the input. item 3073 item 3073 item 3073

But that doesn't matter, this doesn't simply effect me. In a game where simply playing it safe and waiting can eventually win everything, I simply must ask Why Riot? I like playing champions that scale with choices, and not champions that build "30 damage" in one item and use their stacks to One-Hit for 800+ damage of the simple life of a farmer. So please, banish this scourge, or make it more manageable.

Happens many time, nasus is good in mid game but bad in late game as one crit from adc and other dps is far more than ur Q;

lets say ur stacking with 1000 stacks; minusing the armor and stuff; u only got 500-600 damage; eith lifeste and kiting; u cant even one shot an adc in late game (almost all of them are full builds) or just got lifesteal it back

I understand where you're pointing, but there's a lot of other factors going into a game than just one champion. Yes, Nasus can play it safe up top and farm for 30 mins. But he's going to have a hard time doing that if the enemy team fights and pushes bot and mid lanes. Putting the game into a perpetual 4v5 so Nasus can farm up isn't going to do him a lot of good.

So yea, the stacking mechanic can get a bit overbearing, but I don't think that there is inherently nothing you can do about Nasus except lose against one.

The thing about Nasus...punish him HARD early game, deny his stacks. Most Nasus players have tunnel vision on the top lane, very rarely you will see him roam. When he starts roaming be scared cause hes got a minimum of 300 stacks and is ready to split push all lanes.

Also, his BEST counter. Just stay in lane against him, if your team bitches cause your not " team fighting" remind them that the stacks he gets while YOUR away is roughly 20-50 prolly more with 45%. CD-R, and he'll eventually will be able to 1v5 then laugh emote your whole team.

Nasus is the easiest AND hardest to counter, easy cause denying him is the best strat. Hard because once he hits 300 stacks your turrets go down in just a few swings.

If you think Nasus is good lategame because he has infinite scaling, you are so mistaken it's hilarious. But oh well, I don't believe you heard of being kited and melted, lack of tank steroids, mobility and damage creep, how to peel, how to finish games before 50 minutes etc.
