Wither needs a huge fucking nerf. You litteraly can NOT escape him and late game he is fucking stupid strong. As well as the crazy buff to his ult that lets him urf mode Q cast. How the fuck is nothing being done riot. Nasus has a 52% win rate in games shorter than 20 mins. WHAT THE FUCK. He has a 54% win rate overall.

This may shock you, but Nasus isn't a late game champion.

Seriously.

Nasus has infinite scaling, and this is why people cite him as being a 'late game' champ. But, when you think about it, we have late game champions; adcs and several bruiser carries. They're champs who have insane steroids, powerful ratios, and who's kits mesh together to over-buff particular aspects of them, so that they scale heavily with items.

You don't give infinite scaling to a champion like Tristana, who becomes a literal god among men when she gets full build. You give it to a champion who has a strong early / mid game, but has absolutely nothing going for them late game... Like Nasus.

Nasus has always been strongest in the mid game, where he's tanky enough through base stats and his ulti to soak a hit, and has his Q farmed enough to also dish them out.

Late game, when the team fights roll around, Nasus has generally been easy to deal with. Wither is powerful but he's slow and shit and all of his tankiness comes items and lifesteal, both of which aren't terribly difficult to handle.

With that said, Nasus is absurd right now. The Q CDR on his ulti is insane, and once he hits six he's probably the strongest duelist in the game. He does need nerfs, but it's not because he's a late-game monster with a powerful early game (heyo, vayne).

How is Nasus not a late game champion? Wtf? He litterally scales into late game with his Q and his base stat tankyness. Secondly if you think nasus is slow your mistaken. He can easily build item 3009 item 3742 item 3078 item 3069 for move speed. Ive been seeing alot of item 3301 builds lately. or even item 3142

Nasus is a mid game champion, late game he just get run over if the enemy team is just decent. Stop pretending he is a late game champion. His late game is not that great.

Really! Late game nasus can walk right up to a tower and just crush it 1v1 with no minions around. Then full heal by killing a minion or two.

Pick Darius and deny his farm as much as possible so his late game won't be as strong.

Illaoi, Gangplank, Kled, and Yorick are all the best counters I can recommend to you if you don't ban him right now.

Personally I think his wither component is too strong late game. There is no way to out play that, it's on such a low cooldown that he can spam it before it's even off the enemy. This to me is a huge issue.

That and his ult letting him cast q over and over
