Nasus needs to loose some of his Q stacks if he dies!

Nasus ofc is weak early but as game progresses he can farm and get his Q stacks! He is built tanky ofc and as a tank i dont think he should be doing damage more than carries. Whats the point of carries if a champion like nasus builds tank and does damage than them. He should loose some of his Q stacks if he dies i think it would be balanced considering his late game potential .

No.

If Nasus got that many stacks, he deserves to keep them. Nasus has seen nothing but nerfs in the history of League, and now people like you want to cripple him by taking away his late game, the last thing he has that keeps him even remotely viable. The thought disgusts me.

Go play Nasus, you will see how miserable early and mid game is for our beloved dog, literally EVERYONE counters him.

God forbid you get put up against Darius Teemo , in that case you will literally want to hang yourself.

Hell on my smurf I play Nasus and still have a hard time. This is the same account where I play Yi top and get the inhibitor by the 12 minute mark.

Think of Nasus's weakness along with his strengths.

Weakness:

  1. Takes about 30 minutes, give or take, for him to become a part of the game while he stacks. This is time that you can be taking objectives, forcing 4v5s, winning the game while Nasus afk farms top lane.

  2. Even IF Nasus reach like 700 stacks he is still very kite-able. He has to run at you to do damage which makes him extremely kite-able. He simply can't team fight vs a competent team.

  3. He loses early game so hard to some champions that sometimes he can't even recover to get to this late game monster.

Understanding his weakness lets you know that if he loses stacks upon death he will become an absolutely useless champion seeing as it take so long from him to obtain these stacks in the 1st place.

TL:DR Nasus losing stacks would cripple him as a champion (scaling hyper carry) and you should take advantage of his glaring weaknesses.

If you let Nasus hard farm all game and get to 1000 stacks on his Q by 30 minutes you deserve to lose the game. Seriously Nasus's only objective and goal all game is to just hard farm and split push. He offers nothing else to his team. All he should ever be doing is farming top or split pushing. As such that gives your team the extra advantage of every team fight effectively being 5v4. Also hes weak as hell early game and is extremely gankable. As a jungler main myself I love nothing more then for the enemy top laner to be a Nasus.

Seriously just ask your jungler to camp top and repeatedly gank him over and over. Honestly do this a few times and hes done. If Nasus doesnt have around 300 or 400 stacks by 20 minutes hes a non factor for the rest of the game.

Nasus is just fucking unhealthy to the game. Even the people on this thread defending him as a champion concept, he sounds like Farmville simulator and in a much much more toxic way then any of the other stack champions.

-So... he never helps in team fights and spends his entire time on an island farming and split pushing.

-By late game he's practically unkillable and two shots towers with no counter play.

-By early game he has sustain with his Q making harass negligible, especially since harassing pushes him to tower, which is Nasus's favourite spot

-Pushing him to tower is Nasus's favourite spot because he has a ridiculous crippling slow that makes even 2 v 1 tower dives futile against him, not to mention his ultimate.

-He can also use this crippling slow to ensure ganks on your over extended lane (and yes, you will always be over extended when fighting nasus.)

-Nasus is slow but thanks to the godly new teleport summoner spell meta, he will either never be -not- in lane or he can deep strike onto a dragon contested area or something and wipe out the team singlehandedly like a squad of terminators.

IMO he is broken with no counter play if the Nasus knows a basic silver III skill: Last hitting

If anything, they need to nerf his sustain.

This could be interesting,** IF **he got a ton of buffs to his early and mid game to make him strong enough that he can be effective without very many stacks.

I wouldn't mind if he lost a few stacks on death. Not anything absurd like 1/3 or something but maybe 10 or something.
