Why is nasus so busted..

So after playing nasus and against him, he is such a free-lo champ that its ridiculous. The counter play with nasus used to be that you could beat him early game and prevent his scaling until it was too late to matter (game ending). Now it's like, you can make nasus int and by 20m he will be the strongest carry on their team. I remember when 400+ stacks meant gg, now 200+ stacks mean gg. I even smacked this last game 1hr ago with TEN FPS against an ignite early game top laner and had him at his inhib 15m in... Hes just not balanced. Hes #1 in almost every elo from bronze to plat+. I personally denied this last nasus I played against 90 stacks below average and 20 cs lead on him but he STILL ended up running me down under tower at 20m with not even a tri force. He had a stinger and phage............balanced. No matter how behind these Nasus get they end up unkillable. Whether I play nasus or against him.

Before 8.2 came out Nasus had a 56% win rate with Kleptomancy. He also had a 50% and below win rate with every other keystone in the game.

I think the answer to why he is busted is pretty obvious. Hopefully the 8.2 patch fixed it.

If he gets that strong at 20 minutes, then you didn't punish him at all. The general rule is that Nasus is in a healthy spot if he gets 300 stacks by 20 minutes.

You have to prevent that at all cost. Control the pushing of your minions, deny any Q attempt possible, have your jungler gank him to help, murder the piss out of him for doing anything, even giving up your own CS to at least stall his own snowball.

Granted, if he had only 90 stacks at 20 minutes and you STILL got killed 1v1, then maybe the problem is that you just suck. Just start banning him if you can't adapt.

Nasus spikes waaaaay too stupidly hard at level 6, even if you get a kill or 2 on him before that, when he hits 6 wither>Q if you can get away he backs off, but as soon as you go in for farm again boom wither ult> QQQQQQQQQ dead

his slow feels worse than a stun btw

Probably. I've killed plenty of Nasus's my fair number of times.

Then again, at diamond, it's less about broken champs and more about actual skill.
