Nasus

I think the problem is Nasus is BUILT too well for what he does. His passive gives him so much sustain that unless you play a hyper bully with longer ranged poke you wont be able to truly push him out of lane denying him CS doesn't work forever because he makes you useless because of how you have to stay in lane to keep him from farming, and that 1-2 cs he gets under tower stack up indenfinitely and his fire circle allows him to actually have decent push power and an ok dueling potential. Overall Nasus is given everything he needs to stack up and especially now that his ult gives him armor he becomes a literal god, ascending in your lane to just smash you

Nope, Nasus is pretty much in need of buffs right now. When you fight Nasus on his terms he wins, when you group early, kite him out of fights, he almost always loses.

His Spirit Fire isn't a pushing tool. If he's using it, he's losing CS, Q stacks and mana. It's there to shred resistances and give magic damage vs armor stackers.

And yeah, his kit lends itself to success unless he is given special jungle attention, in which case the other parts of the map can take advantage. His problem is late game. His power spikes really mid-late game, but then at full build, he's weaker because the ADC is full built and will shred him no matter what is built. If he gets CC'd, even in mega doggo form, he still melts (Like everyone vs an ADC late game). But, he doesn't offer the engage or CC other top laners getting melted to, just more damage but only if he can reach the target.

I find his built in lifesteal a bit much in lane, since it does make most trading and poking with him completely irrelevant unless you're someone like Teemo or Vayne. But, without it, he'd never farm properly since playing vs Nasus invokes a "Must harass" sentiment, moreso than playing vs someone like Fiora or Malphite.

He can only whither one person, and is incredibly susceptible to CC. Solo he's the dream champ, but he just doesn't perform so well in a team setting past a certain point.

For someone who loves Nasus and has put over 50 games in last week in. Nasus is kitted easily, team with any sense just ccs and kills him even if I have 4k+ health. He also bullied by far the easiest until about lvl9 if makes it that long. He needs buffs badly!

Nasus is only ever oppressive when the enemy team ignores him and let's him get farmed. His life steal is 100% necessary in higher modes of play b/c it is the only thing that allows him to lane at all vs anyone who knows how to properly harass. So no he needs buffs at the moment and not a silly nerf.

I'm sorry, but Nasus can easily be thrown out of lane. The problem is once you take Nasus's tower they for some reason leave him a lone. And after they leave top they do nothing. Go mid and don't push for tower or for objectives. Nasus thrives on players not doing anything. A stall game let's Nasus wins.
