A discussion on "Quasus" or the "New Nasus Build"

This is my first post on the boards. I've only been playing this game for about 2 years but this version of Nasus is probably the least fun thing to play against that I've seen so far and I feel he needs to be changed to offer more counter play. His E should not able to clear an entire wave without building any damage. It allows him to build full tank and be basically unkillable solo. If you want to fight him you have to fight under minions and if you do he uses his E and shreds your armor and the minions kill you while he just ults and sustains. It forces you to stay under your tower and clear and then he just slowly chunks you down with his E until you're forced to back and he takes your turret. I've played against him quite a few times and every time he forces the jungler to go top and gank which even when he is killed it doesn't relieve any pressure from the map. Because of the passive of ZZ'rot he is back in lane doing the exact same thing in no time. If you leave to go fight 4v5 he just pushes down to your inhibitor or you stay and wave clear and hope your team can win the 4v4. It's an unbalanced build that doesn't allow a 1v1 to ever go in your favor ever. I feel like his E needs to be changed so he can't clear so easily while still building full tank.

Could be worse. item 3512 item 3060 Heimerdinger is still a thing

I personally think his E needs some kind of a counterplay nerf. It literally has zero counterplay. The initial damage is instant upon cast and spell shields don't block it and it's such a large area that you can't just "dodge it" or predict where it is going to go. I think it's going in the direction of MF's E earlier in the season and should be nerfed accordingly.

buy mr, and itemize into waveclear. his e deals magic damage. and walk out of it when he throws it down.

i dont like the build either, but not because its hard to play against, but because people who copy this build usually dont understand how nieche it is, and just fuck themselves over, effectively throw the game.
