Nasus W at rank 5 with 45% CDR technically has a 1.05 sec CD

Every game it’s the same with this champion. He takes Inspiration secondary with Cosmic Insight. He takes the CDR rune stat, which in my opinion should be removed. Builds Trinity Force and some other items and gets 45% CDR.

Now you are finished when Nasus gets 45% CDR because he perma withers you off cooldown. Did you know that Nasus W cooldown at rank 5 with 45% CDR is 1.05 seconds. It says 6.05 seconds on the tooltip but because the cooldown starts on cast you have to minus 5 seconds.

I have not heard of a more bullshit ability in any video game. A champion is allowed to POINT AND CLICK chain 95% slow and 47% cripple every 1.05 seconds? WTF do you even do to stop this aside from “Just don’t get clicked on”? How many times will you cleanse/QSS? Nasus Wither fucks over most champions in the game.

Why the fuck does this still exist in this game?

At least make Nasus W a skillshot, or make the cooldown start after the effect has finished and reduce the CD to like 3 or 4 seconds.

You know nasus w is not a 95% slow and 47% attack speed reduction every second it is like that at the 5th second it starts at 35% slow and 17.5 attack speed reduction then goes up to those numbers.

I concur

The part about the cooldown starting after the spell has finished should also be applied to Riven's Q. Just saying

Sure. It has an effective 1.05s CD...In a straight 1v1.

Why you would ever try to 1v1 Nasus in late-game, though, I don't know.

But, sure. I'd be down with making it a skillshot but making Nasus stronger overall.

Many champions can 1v1 late game Nasus so long as they have high DPS and item 3111 and are either AP kite mages with self-peel or mobile autoattackers with item 3140.

Brand and Vayne come to mind.

The fuck do you think merc treads are going to do against him? It makes the slow scale up faster, as well.

Swifties or tabis are the boots you take against him.

Also, Vayne can't really win a 1v1 if the Nasus actually builds in advance for it and doesn't get stunned by Vayne's E. Righteous Glory+Deadman's means Nasus is just going to get on top of Vayne repeatedly and kill her in a Q or two at most, since Vayne is just so absurdly squishy.

Nasus really isn't a champion you can 1v1 in late-game, no matter who you are. Most champions capable of 1v1ing are usually heavily AA reliant (which Nasus generally dicks over due to W) and lower-range squishies (which is Nasus's ideal target). The only exception to that that comes to mind is Yi, who, due to his R ignoring Nasus's W entirely, and his high true damage and max HP damage, can 1v1 Nasus...But not all the time, since a Nasus that's ahead will just explode Yi and draintank his damage. But at that point you fed a Nasus in early game, so you were probably already fucked if you had someone that incompetent on your team.

item 3111 alone more than triples that number.
