wither from nasus.

Devilreaper XIII··3 votes·625 views

i can't comprehend this ability..... it lasts 5 seconds and causes 95% slowdown ..... AND it lowers attack speed by half O.o???????

but zilean has a 99% slowdown that lasts for 2,5 seconds.....

the strangest thing i find is that nasus his 95% slowdown feels way and i mean WAY heavier than zileans 99% slowdown O.o is this really my imagination?

i find that 95% and half cripple to be way too op, it should be lowered to 2 to 2,5 seconds if you ask me in the least.

It's the only ability in his kit that makes him viable under any circumstances.

Really? You think it's more important than his infinite damage attack?

It is more important because Nasus can't Q any champ without wither. As stong as it is their are champs that can disengage form Nasus solo.

I've heard this about literally every skill of his.

"His Q is the only thing making him viable vs adcs" "His W is the only thing making him viable vs bruisers" "His E is the only thing keeping him viable vs tanks" "His R is the only thing keeping him viable late game"

Wither cipples you, which means that if you try to use AA while withered your character will stand in place for really long time. That's why it feels heavier.

You have got to have a qss or at least a pair of swifties if you are going to kill/survive a well-stacked nasus in the mid game. It is not an something to take lightly, and you do have to itemize against it if he's had his way with the game.

If they were to nerf his wither, they'd HAVE to HEAVILY buff his Q to compensate.

For example, if they nerfed it by half- they'd pretty much have to buff either his Q damage per stack or stacking itself by 50% to compensate. It just means that much to his kit.

It's the fundamental reason why I hate Nasus. The stacking is fine, it's the "you can't do anything for 5 seconds" point and click button that rustles my jim jams. Can't fight, can't run, can't chase.

don't forget that zilean is squishy and is taking a risk while he in range for his slow, while nasus is a frontliner..

I guess his slow push and 0 presence till late game should give him somewhat of an op ability

................................... I don't have any words for blatant use of max values to try and get more credibility. Nasus wither is a gradual slow over the duration, 35 to 95% slow at MAX RANK ONLY, for an average of 65% slow ( max rank ) The attack speed slow being halved, it's 17.5 to 47.5 averaging 32.5 % attack speed slow.

Wither has been nerfed numerous times over the years because players always complained about it. It used to have increased range, even increased under the effects of ult, and the attack speed slow wasn't halved, it was also 35 to 95% attack speed slow. It was so ridiculously stronger in duels than now I can't even...

Zilean is 40 to 99% slow depending on rank but constant slow, not gradually increasing. It lasts 2.5 s (can be rewinded for double duration) Yet Nasus slow is more 'spammable'. First because Nasus always gets 40/45% cdr, then because the CD is kinda low (11 s max rank)

In any case if you complain about Nasus slow you're a few seasons late. It was infinitely stronger than it is right now. And it is single target and cleansable, which is kinda garbage in teamfights. Go complain about his R Qcd reduction instead
