Why are we buffing nasus?

"we are buffing the range on the infinitely scaling 2 second cooldown nuke" ??????

I hate nasus for his safe laning phase because of his passive, and because of his passive he can build tanky to the point where he can just ignore your damage due to his lifesteal passive. Go into lane when he becomes tanky? you will die because of his 95% slow. Why are we buffing this scaling monster?

I always hated nasus because of his retarded kit and I hate to see it get buffed <.<

The new juggernauts are probably going to give Nas some issues, let alone Fiora in the mid game now. This relegates his raid boss status to really late game under many match up, so I guess they are trying to balance that "somewhat".

For instance as a Morde main he use to have the ability to stand and bang even if he was behind after getting stacks sheen and MR. He can no longer afford to do that against Morde's Q especially when behind.

Because they nerfed the shit out of his itemization and buffed some of his traditional lane counters.

...Also, it's 25 units that doesn't even stack with his ult. A meaningful buff this isn't.

I've played against a lot of Nasus players... Nasus is really easy to bully and deny farm early on, and you can continue doing that until he's irrelevant late game unless you let him farm and get the gold to build defense stats which by the way you should invest in some armor penetration or magic penetration as your first item if you're doing really well against him.

I must be absolute shit, because I can only deny him around 35% of his farm. And whenever I fight another champion, I get fed off of them and become the biggest, or sometimes second biggest threat on my team.

Not to be one of those people but you clearly don't know how to fight Nasus then. His laning phase isn't safe, his early game is one of the weakest in the entire game due to how powerful he gets by late game. His Q isn't a nuke unless he is stacking it at a reasonable rate. Which mind you is easy to interrupt since he is more focused on farming than dealing with you, so you can often land pokes on him with no retaliation.

The objective isn't to kill him unless you actually know what you are doing which it doesn't seem like is the case for you. You should be focusing on making him miss farm. Yes you can't stop him forever but if the first 20 minute you do a great job at fking his farm over, he will be lucky to have 100-200 stacks and will have to waste another 10 minutes to get to around 500 when he becomes threatening. If you manage to kill him as well he will never be able to farm unless under turret since in that case he will have no stacks at all and is utterly useless until you leave him to farm.

"Safe laning phase" lol.

Even if his laning phase is safe, he is the epitome of low-risk low-reward. He automatically loses the game if his team makes a mess of early game because getting camped permanantly sets him back since he scales with farm and not gold, unlike other champs he can't get caught up by getting a few assists.

He is perfectly balanced, you are probably Bronze 5 and don't know how to deal with him.
