Nasus needs a nerf

Nasus needs a nerf, he is way too tanky, does insane damage, afks all games and split pushes, has no counterplay and he can just literally walk into the enemy team and deal massive amounts of damage with only one damage item. It is absolutely ridiculous, even his life steal, one q can heal over 1/8 of his health and thats a lot of hp especially when they build health items. His w is broken, it lasts forever and once its gone he can just use it again in mere seconds. Yes you can kill him by having your whole team just focus him when he takes so long to die and 9 times out of 10 he will take someone down with him. Honestly i am tired of having to have so much stress towards one champion. The only way to counterplay a nasus is to pray to god that he is bad. I feel as though someone that tanky should not do that much damage, it completely defies the role of tank, they are meant to soak damage, not do insane damage at the same time. Even if nasus goes negative, he can just farm and split push all game and if the enemy team tries to stop him he will just w the carry, ult and do massive damage to them. Nasus needs some type of nerf, especially in lower elo that do not know how to play against a nasus.

He is a piss-poor tank because he has no hard CC. The most he can do in a teamfight is bodyblock skillshots.

If he has been afk farming all game and you don't take advantage of the 5v4, then it's on you.

Honestly if you lose to a Nasus, you let him farm too easily, or the game went on for waaaaaaaaay too long.

Ever wonder why Nasus is hardly picked/banned in competitive?

First of all, this one match is in no way representative, it just sjows taht you want to focus your anger on Nasus because oyu lost your game.

Secondly, he has a weak early game, can be outplayed by various champions and ranged champions can harass him to death without him doing anything. If he gets 400+ stacks, he is still ebatable if you know what you are doing, but he shouldnt come to this point if you know what you are doing (or at elast only late game, but thats where he shines)

You had only 1 champion with good CC - Nautilus... The dog is useless in teamfights - gets nuked by AOE and can't reach anyone from CC...

Remember TSM vs CLG, Zionspartan picked Nasus.

There you go.

Lower elos can't deal with nassus because they either blind pick top lane into him, or the kinglet doesn't understand he needs to camp him. Same thing with veigar. Jungled refuses to camp him so he will just get insanely big. If your looking for a way to beat nassus, I have 1 word for you, pantheon. I have to 100% win rate with pantheon in ranked and it's because of the enemy picks a nasus I counter pick with pantheon and proceed to beat the pee out of him. Buy a crystalline with 3 hps and a mans, Get him low with, spam q's. Then freeze lane near your turret and zone him out of farm. That's it, GG. You don't even need the jungler.

You guys are ignoring the OP's point, in lower levels, If you don't know what to do, He's god. If you have no good way to keep him from CS, He's god, If you beat him too hard early on, He can hide under tower while still easily building stacks if he knows what he is doing. and you can't even take advantage of him playing completely defensively and go roaming because then he gets his stacks even easier. I've played several games against a nasus, always taken the advantage early on, have him sit under tower, and it goes to shit from there. Am I good at league, No, I'm pretty sure I'm not, so comment that I'm a whiny unranked all you want, I just want to know a situation where I can actually do shit against him where he doesn't find a way to benefit without slowing down the rest of the team. The argument That I see most often is go and win 4v5 with the rest of your team, Thats all well and good, but that also means Nasus sits in lane with no harassment, building his stacks even faster. So if you try that, and even one team fight goes to shit, Which is a freaking given in blind picks where bronzes get mixed with golds and silvers, then you've moved to slow, and he gets to start being a huge presence in team fights. People also argue that adc's can easily kite him in late game. Also a valid point, but if the other team is smart, adc's are typically the first target, You don't mess around hitting a tank when an adc is melting you. At least as far as I understand it, on the flipside, Nasus makes that rule invalid. He essentially acts as another Mage or adc, Hitting for crazy high damage, while having a tanks survivablility. Yes he has no real abilities to make him useful as a tank, except that his presence pretty much means you have to focus him. because unlike other tanks, you can't afford to take even one hit. I'm just putting my opinion out there, I welcome anyone to argue against me, just please make it about Nasus instead of making Ad Hominen remarks.
