Alright.. So obviously we all know Nasus is broken. Mildly tanky at early levels and can just walk right up and last hit stack the Q no matter how much you poke and harass. He's just going to stack and stack and even if you kill him it doesn't matter at all because he'll tele right back to lane and keep farming until he has 400-700 stacks come mid/bot and solo your entire team and live to tell the tale. He definitely needs a nerf. Perhaps making his Q give 2 stacks each? Completely nerfing his base health/ resistances? And with the way they completely destroyed and messed up Sion , perhaps something new with nasus? The concept is great, but he never leaves the top lane and basically makes the team 4v5 for 25-30 minutes and when he does finally group, he's godlike and completely unkillable and can ace your team by himself. This champion is absolutely rediculous especially in this CC tank meta. Counterplay is futile. No matter what hes always going to get those stacks and come back to haunt you. Rito pleaaase fix this dude.

For some reason, I think the 26/3 Katarina was a bigger issue than the Nasus. Especially considering that their bot lane was wrecking yours, their jungler had more successful ganks, and you died very early to Nasus. They also had better objective control and got every dragon and far more towers with their early lead.

Though, I'd recommend starting Cloth5 instead of Doran's Shield against Nasus. He won't really be attacking you much (so the block is useless), armor reduces minion damage (which you will receive when harassing Nasus), and it lets you match his sustain (especially with Shen's Q).

Good to see you built Ninja Tabi and Thornmail though. For some reason a lot of people don't think of using them against Nasus.

No, we don't all "know" Nasus is broken. Some of us actually know how to effectively shut him down at each stage of the game, how to keep him shut down, and how to fight him whether he has been shut down or not.

Nasus isn't broken. Late-game, I'll admit, he's pretty overpowered, but early game he sucks until he gets his stacks up and gets some items. He doesn't need a nerf. Period. He's tanky, and he can 2-hit your adc's LATE GAME. Those are his only aspects.

Strengths: Late game can 2-hit your ADC's(if farming good) Can be tanky and still have damage Has a slow to catch up Has passive lifesteal to heal for a fair amount when Q hits AOE Armor pen

Weaknesses: Low range Fairly long cooldown on only real damage source(besides ult aoe)

Now, he has lots of strengths. But his range is terrible. Unless people let him get close to them, they're completely fine. Just kite him and damage and you're all good. Bet Kalista could 1v1 him any time :3

EDIT: plus, as you said, pretty much useless until 30 mins or so And peeps who are bad at stacking, or opponents who can deny him CS, can completely obliterate his late game which is pretty much his only good game.

A free bloodthirster passive, high dmg and cc single target , builds full tank and at 40% cdr gets a perma exhaust. Very high reward from almost nothing, how is he not fixed yet.

Just play vayne or teemo :) early, just harass with autos to stop him from stacking (blind him if teemo) Once he hits 6, as vayne, it should still be very easy to lane against, considering you have self peel and max hp damage. On teemo, it gets harder Late game, teemo is trash but you hope that you have prevented enough stacks from being stacked. As vayne, you drain tank and if they try to chase you, tumble condemn.

Personally, the only nasus I worry about is lane push nasus. They e your wave and keep shoving, so I keep losing cs. It is honestly the only frustrating type of nasus I go against.

LOL another player who thinks early game zoning means shove the lane to his turret as much as possible.

Nasus is fine and he's going to get me out of Bronze5 because B5 is filled with novices like you who think he is OP.
