Why do people keep saying I'm a troll for picking support nasus?

I have 100% win rate on him so I mean that should be proof enough he's good but some people still complain when I pick him.

people will always complain about off-meta supports if ur not diamond+ regardless of how effective it is. Malzahar was once a troll support. Now he's considered to be a top tier support in plat+.

Are you in bronze? That could make a difference. Bronze can have anything and be viable. That being said. I have seen a few Support Nasus picks against me, and I have never lost to them. It's always been a free lane thus far. Not that I am saying not to pick Support Nasus, but there are different and better AP Mages you can bring to the bot lane. Your poke also shoves the lane quite hard and might steal a lot of CS.

Those people are probably just upset because they wanted to play Nasus. Be yourself, Bronze Banana.

Bronze 5 and 7 games as the sample size. Obviously it must be OP... better nerf.

To me, you can play any support if you follow the pillars of bot lane supp: (that I've noticed but I'm new)

  1. Don't steal cs
  2. Protect your adc
  3. If possible, give adc kills

My supp mentality is that I use anything i can to do these three things. I've brought Pantheon (Tankeon) into supp with his point and click stun and extra damage, and his shield to block damage and done well, and even Camille with her stun and slow and sustain (actually got lvl 6 mastery off just playing supp with her).

Just have fun. If they don't believe you can support, just prove them wrong.

Because it's bad, and people would prefer to think that you're a troll rather than someone who unironically believes support Nasus is good.

Nasus support is a troll pick. Little better than that popular Bronze shit pick, support Teemo.

just wondering is this a troll post or serious? cause support nasus actually does suck.

To be fair, he is off meta. Talk to your teammates and explain the power of support Nasus.

This is support Singed all over again...

Support is more than just not taking cs, getting adc fed, and warding. It's also about disengage/engage (depending on support play style), zoning, and defending your adc/harassing theirs (also depending on support play style). Nasus has no real disengage/engage. His w is a cc, but it's direction limited and exhaust (thought a longer cd) does almost the same thing. His e can be useful for zoning, however it's large aoe box often catches minions and can throw off your adc's cs-ing and wave control. His q... you can stack off Relic Shield, but the stacks will be slow coming and this will have little in lane or even mid to late game support capabilities. His r... literally does nothing to support anything. Basically Nasus can put a body in the lane, grab support items and ward, but he cannot actually support anything when required to do so. So many other actual support champs do MUCH better at this. I see you've won several games as Nasus support, but I am betting after you get a decent win streak going, you find yourself facing more skilled opponents with less skilled adc teammates. This may make it hard to climb out of B5, let alone bronze in general.

This is meaningless. 100% winrate means nothing without sample size.
