can nasus be gutted or reworked

you get exactly 6 levels to beat him in lane then he outscales you. You simply can't fight him after this point as if you engage on him, he withers and runs away. Even if you deny him stacks early, he WILL get stacks and then chunk you for a 4th of your health while being unkillable with ult. Meanwhile, he spams E off cooldown.

The only counterplay is setting up a freeze and hoping my jg ganks him. But that is completely relying on another player who may or may not agree with my ganks, especially since many jgs ignore top lane.

Please make it so that you can at least win against him 1v1, instead of being forced to rely on another player to kill him. Hes a complete ball of stats that makes the game less fun.

Further proof of rework needed: in high elo, he is bad because jgs will camp him and he gets kited for days. But in low elo, it is extremely annoying for one person to fight him because they rely on their team knowing how to play around him.

Pls do smoething riot

tldr nasus needs counterplay other then relying on ur jg to gank which may or may not happen

Edit: I forgot to mention that he should at least have a weak early that u can abuse urself and then focus on ending the game early to deal with him. But like I said, the champ is so safe, and outscales most lane bullies at level 7-8 ish, that his isn't the case. Please nerf his early game so he is like kassadin level dumpster tier in lane.

you should have been dunking on him as darius since he was going armor happy with your e's passive around

I did, but I was getting camped by the enemy jg. So, I had to play passive, especially when he froze wave. Then he got free stacks and outscaled me by like level 9. My point is, i think there should be some sort of actual gameplay counterplay (for example, you can dodge irelias stun, fight renekton when he doesnt have fury, etc.)

It's called, deny him cs, kite him and then force him to group since he is a terrible teamfighter. Don't come complaining because the enemy team played smartly and actually gave their Nasus the space he needed to scale

Nasus definitely needs some kind of rework, but he hardly needs to be gutted.

He's not super healthy, but he's not oppressive or anything rn. One of the few relatively-healthy statchecks in the game, due to how easy it can be to abuse the fuck out of him pre-6.
