@Riot novalas about giving nasus back his old E

@riot novalas ill make it small you could say a quality of life change to nasus all you have to do is revert his E back from % armor pen back to flat armor pen instead. because nasus was never meant to be picked as a scaling champ but rather to snowball and win the mid game as khan from LZ game exactly did last season, he won a game with only boots and triforce and thats how you play nasus, you dont play him by scaling and losing that flat armor pen from is E made his kill pressure so low to the point where he cant snowball the mid game like he is supposed to and thus making him unable to close the mid game where he excels at

one might say you can simply buy ninja tabi to make him do no damage but the thing is that every champ that lanes against nasus will always build merc treads instead thus allow him to have a window of chance to get kills and snowball out of it and this is why the flat armor pen was so vital to his kit to work.

and if you wanted nasus to have a better time at the late game against tanks all you had to do was to keep the flat armor pen and to add +25% bonus armor reduction then this will fix his problems alot

ever since patch patch 7.15 where you guys said that nasus was struggling with a 47% win rate and you wanted to buff him but as a result it didnt really buffed him but made him worse with those E changes. if you want prove its very simple go see all the top nasus players KDA from the previous season and compared it with this seasons KDA of theirs and its very bad. i have been making tons about post about this since then and its almost already been a year :C i hope you change it back U_U

you will be my favourite rioter if you actually do it <3

I feel like even with the old E it wouldn't put him in a good spot since because this season had a lot of indirect nerfs towards him in general. First, is that you can't start with an early extra 10% cdr anymore so u cant really stack hard make ur mid game spike hard enough. Second, scuttle being priority means early skirmishes will happen and Nasus early game CANNOT do anything vs that. Third, removal of stormraiders and introduction of conqueror makes certain champions go even vs nasus in his mid game power spike.

If you want a change then the % shred is not what you should be the revert you want. With the introduction of conqueror and the always more damge creep, I would prefer instead of the armor and MR he gets in his ult be reverted back to the extra damage. The armor and MR have been basically made worthless with conqueror and so many AD items just shredding defenses like you were wearing paper sheets anyways. The % shred makes him better vs tanks and other bruisers and gives his AD's more utility as the game goes on. The flat pen made his early game slightly better but it is not going to be significant like you think it will.
