false statistic, relevant point
nasus is way too strong. i can't think of losing matchups right now as opposed to before his slew of buffs.
Nasus is objectively not too strong at all. He's doing very well in low elo, okay in plat+, but past that his performance takes a big nosedive as teams get better on average, because solid team play heavily negates Nasus' strengths far more than solid team play for Nasus can negate his weaknesses.
No, Nasus isn't too strong. He's cancer. He has been cancer for as long as I can remember. There is not a single champion in the entire game whose power budget has such a significant surplus of damage, durability, and disabling power. Thanks to his infinitely scaling Q and the armour shred on his E his damage scales very well eventually. He builds full tank, has innate lifesteal, and his ult is a fantastic tank steroid, granting him both health and resistances, ensuring that unless he's laning against a Fiora or a Garen that has him marked as the villain he can mitigate anyone's damage. But it all comes down to wither. Wither is, undoubtedly, the single most debilitating single target slow in the game, if not the most debilitating single disable in the game. Powerful on its own, what makes it bonkers is that it has almost no downtime as Nasus levels up and accumulates CDR. Meaning that not only is there never really an opportunity to fight Nasus if he's not behind, but he is also nearly inescapable unless you're playing someone like Camille or maybe Tryndamere.
One on one, Nasus has no counterplay at all, nothing that can be played around. Without jungle assistance, a competent Nasus can almost always play safe and outscale you 1v1, pretty much no matter who you are playing, with the probable exception of Master Yi, being the only extremely high DPS champion who can outright ignore wither (Olaf can also ignore it but his DPS isn't even half of Yi's). That's why people hate him. Nasus gets to a point when it is pretty much impossible to lane 1v1 against him, and it happens faster than it probably should.
I really do think he needs a rework.
