Since Nasus's abilities are amazing individually...

Why would you combine them all and create a champion with that kit?

12-24 lifesteal: Bloodline ramps up from 0% to 12% and it's considered late-game rune

Q: stacking auto-reset

W: oppressive point and click slow with ridiculously low cooldown late-game(lasts 5s, has 7s cooldown?????)

E: AOE magic damage that reduces resistances; max damage 440(+1.2 AP)

R: halves Q cooldown, free tank stats; burn %HP magic damage

I would propose these nerfs to actually make Nasus not brain-dead easy to play, rewarding people for nothing(sit back, last hit, poke while lifestealing back):

*reduce the lifesteal to normal values(let say 6-15%)

*6 or 9 stacks on large minions/monsters, 12 on champions only)

*slow has bigger cooldown, lasts only 4 secs, but reaches maximum slow value faster(after 2 secs)

*R: less burn damage, I literally built Thornmail-Tabi vs Nasus and his 500 stacks did less that the burn damage in like 10 secs of battle. make it 1.5/2.5/3.5%

Feel free to disagree, it won't change the fact Nasus has a high winrate and scales waaay too fast.

Lv.9 Nasus with 1 item and 150 stacks, glhf.

You know when you just list out a champion's kit like that, there isn't a single one that doesn't sound OP right?

Also, because while they are all strong, the things he lacks make up for their strength.

His Q by itself isn't anywhere near all that amazing compared to Darius, Trundle, or Jax, the power comes from the ability to stack it.

His W is one of the strongest slows in the game, and you know why he has that? There are 115 champions in League that have slows in their kit, out of those, there are only six that don't do damage, and only 2 aren't AoE. His slow gets to be so strong because it doesn't do damage, only effects a single target, and is the weakest kind of CC in the game.

His E isn't going to do that much damage unless he is building AP, and if he is, then his Q is gonna be useless.

His R is an ultimate, of course it is gonna be powerful.

His win rate isn't higher either, it is high against low elo players who don't know how to play against him, and once again, the game shouldn't be balanced around players like that.

The problem is that his early game weakness is covered by his kit, he can stay in lane with lifesteal and kite with W.

If your jungler isn't there to camp Nasus, he is too hard to punish. If his jungler helps him, it's free passage for him to scale.

He needs to become strong around lv 11 with 2+ items.

Not early game with a Triforce and some stacks.

Personally I got stomped once by a Renekton who was like 3.5 divisions above me. Other than I have an easy time laning with Nasus.

Except it isn't, hence why the higher you go, the lower his win rate and play rate drop, because people understand how to play with him, and he can't spam his W, his early mana cost are insane.

If your jungler isn't there to camp Nasus, he is too hard to punish.

Except it isn't, champions like Illaoi, Vlad, Darius, Rumble, Ryze, and Riven can all do it.

Welcome to top lane, what you said here can be said about literally every hyper scaling champion, especially up there.

He needs to become strong around lv 11 with 2+ items.

He isn't going to have Tri force early game unless you feed him.

Personally I got stomped once by a Renekton who was like 3.5 divisions above me. Other than I have an easy time laning with Nasus.

Because you are playing against bad players who don't know how to properly play against him.

The champ isn't op its just you don't understand how to play vs him. This is one of the many reasons i don't usually bother to look at this post for anything other than comedic effect. You list ONLY the positives of his kit and not a single negative, bad early game since his lifesteal usually can't be utilized since you will be chunked from the enemy laner usually, no dashes and the W is single target you want to slow lets say Jinx then you can't do anything about that Kayn killing your backline while you get kited out by Jinx traps and their Janna Q/W you back. E Is a huge mana cost early and does almost no damage in the late game. R isn't "free tank stats" its an ultimate ability that is like saying Kayn has a free invincibility or teemo has a free ward or Janna has a free redemption with knockback, see what im saying here? The % health damage on his ult actually rarely does much. Also if you are going to act like everyone is going to be getting hit by max rank E and they just sit on it at least say it right its 430 not 440.

Not meant to be attacking but its quite funny you actually think anyone is going to read this and agree with you lmao
