Nasus' current spot in the meta.

AG Luxed·Jun 18, 2018·1 votes·1,224 views

Hello everyone.

I am a nasus main and I consider myself not a bad one at that but I was wondering if Riot will ever do anything to him. He is well known to be a bad champion and weak one overall. There is a reason why all the higher elo Nasus players are dropping the champion. There is basically no high rated Nasus player anymore. Perhaps if any Riot employee stumbles on this please fix up my guy. I just want to be able to climb smoothly like any other champion. Right now I even struggle really hard in Gold.

Angormus reached masters. Nasus is in a slightly weaker spot because of current meta and the fact conqueror's exist; but I feel it would just cause problems to buff him. He's still very viable until diam, so don't worry it's not only because of the champion if you can't climb higher. watch streams and your replays to improve

You've understood me wrong I'm climbing like crazy.. I'm not stuck and I do not need to watch replays.. The point is everyone is complaining about his state in forums. And does not mean in the current meta. This has been happening for 3 season now where he is seen as useless. Something needs to change. Either a small rework or balance changes.

This is wrong. Before both inspiration and resolve were nerfed, and conqueror was introduced, Nasus was extremely powerful and rocking around 54% winrate with klepto/resolve and a bit less with grasp/inspiration.

Also, I don't know :

What do you mean, do you struggle exclusively with Nasus in gold? Are you smurfing and from higher elo? But you said you were a Nasus main, so it's weird you would have an easier time with other champions.

I mean with struggeling that I have to put in a ton of effort. I was a plat player who quit for a while so im in low gold now climbing up steadily. Fact is that he needs some changes. He's not balanced for higher levels of play.

Fact is it's insanely hard to balance him for higher levels of play without him roflstomping low elo with 58%+ winrate

And I'm not even biased against him, I main Nasus. It's boring when he's fotm, people don't even play him cause they enjoy him but rather to gain elo, also he easily gets banned if he gets such a buff

That's where a rework would come in.

I've seen what Riot does to reworked champions, I do not want him to be turned into a random other champion with a completely different kit just so that a guy like certainlyt can rub his nipples on his amazing creativity I love Nasus the way he is and I suggest you ask the opinion of Nasus mains community if they would like a rework first

Angormus did reach masters and now doesn't play Nasus because the champion is awful. He also mostly E Maxed. All the top players have dropped him and only a couple of players on NA have over 100 games on Nasus and are D3 or higher.

He feels like crap to play and doesn't have a power spike nor does he outscale many champions that can do more earlier. The nature of the games ending earlier has not helped either.
