@Riot @Morello @Riot balance: wondering if you could discuss how hp/hp regen changes impact Nasus
If you all recall, several days ago i made a thread predicting Nasus will be a tier 1 top laner due to d-shield buffs, Ryze nerfs and pending Gnar nerfs (I haven't checked to see if those nerfs were changed etc). The grounds I stood on concering that was going to starting itemization that favors Nasus while the top lane roster is generally weak. My message was mainly that other top laners need buffs and Nasus will naturually fall in line (I also anticipate ignite buffs or tp nerfs in the future, both hurt Nasus). Long story short, the weaker top lane roster simply needs buffed and Nasus will fall in line, preventing another champion from being nerfed unnecessarily.
What I didn't consider was the upcoming hp and hp regen stat changes. I will be blunt here, I simply don't understand them and how it impacts all the champions overall - we are seeing champions base health being buffed on pbe and I have had it explained to me that is the reason why. Concerning base stats, Nasus has some of the worst including the worst starting mana pool of any champ (I last checked on the yasuo patch, needless to say Yasuo isn't a contender there) and one of the worst base mana regen stats. His starting HP and hp regen were pretty average if I recall correctly but I am wondering if that impacts him with the changes and if it does, how so? Furthermore, do you find Nasus in general to be problematic with these changes or does he kind of just chill there without much changing?
I hope you guys can get back to me on this one, i would appreciate it. Thanks friends.
