Nasus is irrelevant at all stages of the game

Cloud273·Aug 18, 2015·5 votes·641 views

I would like to start by saying that "infinite stacking" is a lie. Nasus does not have infinite mana, so he can't stack his 'q' forever. And, like most champions, Nasus uses more than one ability in lane, which also drains his mana. Furthermore, if you're stupid enough to let him afk farm and not secure kills and/or an objective, you deserve whatever happens. Finally, true damage, %health damage, grievous wounds, last whisper, crit, etc all make Nasus super easy to kill, regardless of how much armor he gets. And these things are not hard to come by at all. So please tell me why the hell would is everyone so concerned about Nasus? If anything he needs buffs so he's actually able to contribute to his team.

There's your problem. Stop doing that. All fixed.

lmao it's true, if you're using anything other than Q more than once after each back you're doing it wrong.

Did you even read what you just typed? A true Nasus main can build full tank while having 300 stacks by the fifteen to twenty minute mark and start nuking everybody in the game. The problem isn't Nasus' kit, but the players who choose to use him and don't know when to group.

300 stacks is nothing by 20 minutes, you need 400 if you want to make an impact. And contrary to popular belief, he falls off late game because he gets kited all day and gets peeled in teamfights by anyone with half a brain.

Please explain to me with your infinite wisdom, how am I supposed to trade using only my 'q'? It's just not possible. You NEED your other abilities to trade with your lane opponent, but Nasus runs out of mana so fast he's not able to properly farm his 'q'.

you ignore your lane opponent until you have enough stacks to kill them without retaliation

that's why you start cloth/flask

Nasus's mana regen means that even if he can't cast anything else, he always has enough mana for a Q.

If you spam Wither and Spirit Fire in lane, yeah you deserve to lose that lane. If you are actively trying to trade with your lane opponent before you've hit your stack quota, then you deserve to lose that lane/game. Nasus is a very sturdy tank, with very potent anti-ADC tools. And even then, he's got his split pushing to fall back on, which is among the best in the game if you didn't play your lane like a monkey.

Nasus isn't OP mind you, he does have weaknesses, like you said. But it often takes multiple champions to take him down, and therein lies his strengths. If there are 3 people top, there are only 2 people mid. Pop goes that inner turret. Repeat. Only 1 person comes? Take the tower top/bot. Repeat.
