Everyone sitting here complaining about ADCs...

And I sit here complaining about Botlane AND Nasus. Like really Nasus lost almost all his weaknesses except for being able to get kited...unless he gets in W-Range. But the worst thing is...Nasus has absolutely 0 Skillexpression. Please note there is a difference between "Needs no skill" and "Has no Skillexpression". By that I mean, that the only thing that matters by any means for him is Macro. But wait there is more. There are many other champs like this who highly focus on Macro instead of Micro, but the thing with Nasus is...he scales to the infinite. He is a post Lv 2 Lanebully with an amazing Midgame and a Mediocre lategame. Not to mention that it is impossible to trade with him once he is 6 and/or has Sheen.

What to change? Greatly increase Wither CD on all Levels or make his Q-CDR from R scale with R rank, like 10/30/50 instead of flat 50%.

My question is what is wrong with a lane bully having a good mid game? Should lane bullies win lane and that's it and use that lead for nothing or what result do you want a lane bully to be able to utilize?

None of the champs are overpowered, botlane is fine. nasus is fine. There is no such thing as a "too strong" champ.

"OMG TEEMO BORKED GAEM" Nope, play Yorick

"OMG NOASUS BAEKD GEAME" Nope, play Riven

"OMG BORT LAMB GIB 2MACSH DAGAMBG" Nope, get better.

When did counter picking become a bad thing? I realize I'm a bronzie scrub, but that's become I've been playing other MOBAs for the last 2-3 years. You're really just not picking well enough, and you're not utilizing mechanics to your advantage. A mediocre riven will beat a Nasus early game even with her shitty nerfs. Just stun when he goes to Q a mob and hit him with your q combo. He'll back off or get in 1-2 hits on you before backing off. Build last whisper against tanks, build MR against teemo, counter pick the opposing ADC, ban thresh if you're playing ADC, ban whichever top is your #1 counter if you're playing top, ban whichever mid is your number 1 counter if you're playing mid, and if you're jungle, pick a good counter jungler with mobility and utility.

Just stop complaining. The game isn't that hard.

Every champion has skill expression. Every single one. If you can find a single champion where the champion's average win rate is the same as the winrate for people who main said champion I'll take this back, but on average mains have a higher win rate due to this skill expression.

Skill expression is about experience, which can mean the ability to outplay opponents with wild displays of mechanical skill, but it also covers knowing what to do when with the kit you're wielding. Garen is considered a simple and easy champion, yet people who primarily play him have a win rate 3-5% higher than Garen's average win rate. Nasus is currently around 5% higher for mains at plat+, with his average win rate being below 50%.

If you want to talk only about mechanical skill you should specify, because mechanics are not the only type of skill used in League.

The problem here is that people don't adapt very quickly, and would rather have Riot fix things for them than learn. Nasus hasn't had a weak early game since the new runes went live, and since Kleptomancy got nerfed his win rate dropped below 50%. This means Nasus loses more games than he wins.

As you said Nasus is now an early game lane bully. What do people do to beat other lane bullies? They don't fight and focus on wave management until their mid game power spikes. This is how you should lane against Nasus now, yet people seem to still think the best way to beat him is to try and push him out of lane. If you actually play correctly against him you'll see that Nasus does not need nerfs right now.

Nasus just needs his wither looked at. It's wayyyy to good of a dueling spell for him to have both that and his no-cd Q while he's ulti'd. If you get withered you're pretty much dead or forced to back, it's ass.
