Why do you refuse to acknowledge nasus

Your repeated buffs to his kit have made him into a monster top lane, it used to go that he would have a hard time early game and need time to work up his power but with the increase to his stacks and the cd being cut in half on his q when ulting he doesnt even have to suffer anything past level 6. Once he gets sheen he will usually have enough stacks to just flash onto and double tap a squishy. He heals all through out the lane to so poking and then engagin doesnt mean anything, plus if he really feels threatened he can just w you and walk away while your character starts basically moving in reverse. It isnt inreactive in the slightest playing the waiting game until he power spikes and q's health bars in 2.

Honestly, the insta-12 stacks was overkill needed due to the fast meta...now it's toxic for this meta...

Because he isn't a true problem except for low elo, he will be used for some cheesy jungle game where he will have tons of stack and make a youtube video about it but outside of that, Nasus still have the same issues and once you and your teammate get better, he will go back to not being relevant.

He really isn't an issue at all. Dunno why these threads are popping up. He's still at a 49.7% winrate Diamond+ and barely above 50% Plat+.

I have two steps how to render Nasus useless pre 30 Minutes, listen.

Step 1. Either pick Renekton, Darius or Jayce Step 2. Freeze the lane and solo kill him, or ask your Jungler if he wants some money too, stop mindlessly pushing him in and letting him free stack.

Repeat till you can towerdive him, roam and win the game.

Probably because he's #26 out of 51 tops in Korea (factoring both winrate and playrate) and he's below average winrate and barely mid tier across all regions.

He's not a competitive level threat, plenty of champions beat him, they never changed his weakness. Nasus is only a Low ELO problem, begging for him to be nerfed is like begging for Master Yi nerfs. That's going to easily fall on deaf ears.

They need to give him his lifesteal based on levels. like say 5% 1-6, 10% 7-11 and so on

It's quite simple. If they did acknowledge nasus was overbuffed, then they'd have to somehow admit they monitor the situation in TOP, which means they'd also have to balance other champions (_cough cough _ Riven cough )... So better just act as if Nasus doesn't exist for few more patches.

Nasus is already pretty decent.

There are multiple items that heal based on damage. Just get a lot of q stacks, build one of these items, and you'll heal.

Oh, he can go tanky btw, try building a warmogs? Lifesteal generally only works based on your dps, which is a rearguard role thing- and they favor crit over that, because you can out damage someone trying to lifesteal. Lifesteal is literally antiquated right now. Its old news.

Nasus is fine if you use your q, build right, and split push intelligently. He's perfectly fine.

I carried REALLY HARD in an ARAM game, and that's in ARAM, where most people think he's the worst champ there. Some champs have become somewhat irrelevant, sure, but Nasus I don't think will ever truly be in that position. I mean he has a super buff, two slows, and a super damage move.

If you run a Lulu on your team comp with a Nasus, just stack their ults. and you're basically unkillable. Add a GA on top of that and its just insane.

Nasus the way he is now ruins games he is in. Regardless if there is counter play for the champ, his overbearing laning phase and his ability to split push like no other makes it impossible to find any type of enjoyment. I want to throw up just thinking about top meta right now, with both nasus and garen, and the 100% of games I have where either are in. It bothers me to the core to see how blind Riot is to these two in lower elos, and how they for some reason wont do what's right and gut them till they can give them a rework, or changes that make them even remotely balanced

you acknoweledge nasus as ascended? gg

Remove his life steal completely so he has to build life steal items to heal. Game him a new passive like: Gains 10% Movespeed when walking towards champs but lose 5% when running from champions to compensate and make him either engage but not just W and run away easily.. It'll be All or Nothing Nasus then.

Lmao anyone play+ will disagree with you. Only low elo baddies think Nasus needs nerfs
