Why Is Nasus Considered A Healthy Champion?

Title.

If anything he needs a rework. With all the items in the game it makes it incredibly hard to kite him (dead mans low cd slow) and his an ability that armor shreds when he has stacks 2 shots squishys. Tanks can't fight him as he has inbuilt lifesteal the champion concept is just stupid. If Nasus was a new concept and these were his abilities on paper this would be deemed as OP and his abilities would be tweaked to something that you can actually play against. He had the fighting potential of like a whole team and does stupid damage to towers. This is going to get downvoted but people can't accept his concept is broken because he is am "older champion" that is the only reason why they say he is fine the way he is.

He needs an entire rework.

He's the basis for every juggernaut, yes he does need a rework but it isn't because he's strong or unhealthy, it's because he's out dated and can't really compete with those of the same subclass.

Sure he scales infinitely, sure he a 90% slow and sure he has amazing life steal but chances are he'll loose lane to hard to pretty much any one else to even get to the point of being unstoppable and most juggernauts get there before he does anyway. He's useless.

He doesn't do anything all game, thats his problem. He can get fed but unless he has stacks he isn't contributing to anything to help out your team. He's still blown up with CC and he is most certainly kitable with all the ranged champions in the current meta (and adcs in general).

If you're scared of nasus, you don't have to be good with Vayne Quinn Kayle Tryndamere Graves Pantheon to snowball off him. He has more in lane counters than stacks. The only way nasus can do anything is if he farms so hard under tower that at 40 minutes he has 500 stacks and can flash one shot ADCs... and then there's item 3140 for the slow.

You're right.

About the whole downvoting thing.

He's healthy b/c he has one (count one) damaging ability with the rest of his kit balanced around it.

Wither allows him to catch and deal damage with his Q to targets. Spirit Fire Shreds Armor to allow his Q to do damage late game where he's suppose to be strongest. (He really isn't strong late game anymore) Fury of the Sands allows him to survive in disadvantages/team fights giving him health, damage and the same 175 AA range every other melee get's for free so he can do damage with (yup you guessed it!) his Q.

It is much harder to succeed with him seeing how so many champions that are currently META or FOTM are far more abusive in their ability to damage, proved hard CC and have great mobility all much earlier than Nasus can ever be due to his need to get farm to be relevant . So with all this said, yes people are going to down vote. You clearly don't have the game knowledge or experience to understand why your post is flawed.
