Nasus deserves a 50 range buff on his wither

Nasus is a fairly problematic champion because of his juggernaut nature combined with his infinite scaling. I do acknowledge that the simplicity of his kit is difficult to balance Riot and that he´s one of those champs that get problematic through numbers, but the nerf on his W was the overkill.

600 Range is the Autoattack range of Ashe, Caitlyn Tristana , Jinx,Kogmaw and twich have all acces to higher autoattack range than his wither has. Furthermore the existance of QSS and Banshees make his task of debuffing AS reliant champions even harder.

ADC´s that do not have the range to abuse him by outranging him have other tools to deal with him (outside of getting peeled). Ezrael has high ranged poke,Sivir has her spellshield and a kit inbuid movement speed steroid. Vayne can ltierally outduell him in a 1vs1 by just pressing E and waiting out the duration of his wither. Also multiple indirect changes (like items he likes or the jungle changes) made him weaker than before Riot had buffed him inthe past. A 50 range buff would still remain him in a nerfed stage because of all the indirect nerfs and changes to the game but at least not force him to flash when he wants to wither a Caitlyn or a Tristana.

The only way I think Nasus can receive buffs is if his wither is nerfed. It's like a 5 second snare.

I don't look at his wither as a 'i want to catch up to you tool' I look at it as 'i got to you, your not getting away' tool or a 'i just peeled for my adc like a boss' tool. That's just me though.

He absolutely should have issues going after the longest ranged champs.

If he has farmed his stacks well, any squish he catches is likely dead. You have to consider his other teamestes and their cc as far as him catching people too. He ca n one shot carries if farmed, and wither is already powerful.

There is no need to buff its range.

I think the bigger problem is that nasus players dont understand that nasus hits his powerspike at mid game and not late game.

1000 stacks means nothing at 40-50 minutes when you get kited but 600 stacks at 25 minutes is practically unstoppable.

Nasus also isnt supposed to be able to easily get to carries. Thats why this is a team game. If the enemy ADC is building banshees veil AND QSS just to deal with you, thats a win. Your team needs to carry some of the weight at that point.

if they buffed him, they could make it so that hitting a withered target with his q increases the wither duration by 1 second. meaning hes still kitable, but if he gets in your face before he withers you and starts chunking with q, youre really fucked.
