Nasus' sustain is way too high

It's impossible to bully Nasus out on most champions with the buffs to his passive sustain last year. You have to pick a dedicated lane bully like Darius or else he can't be killed. He'll come back with armor and be even more unkillable than run you down at lvl 6.

I can't be the only one to think he's been cancer for a while.

The counter to nasus is proper wave management to the point where he can't approach the wave without getting blasted.

op is right. Nasus in season 2 was a high risk high reward champ. Piss poor early game that many champs could abuse and if the game ended before 25 minutes he would be more or less useless, but would significantly tilt favour to his team past that mark.

Slowly, they changed his stacking mechanics - stacks like twice as fast. Buffed his passive for some reason, and then runes reworked came. Now he can get biscuits and stuff and not have mana issues and generally has a much stronger early game from bone plating revitalize etc.

Then, for some ridiculous reason, they went and made his ult the biggest stat ball possible. Mr, armor, cdr on Q, bonus range on Q when all he had before was 300 health and magic damage per second.

He gets a full cloth armor, 2/3rd a null magic mantle, and 50% cdr on Q in addition to 300 health and magic damage per second. The gold value of his rank 1 ult is like 300 + 300 + bamis (900) and that 50% q cdr given its his primary damage ability is also worth quite a bit of gold. 1500 + 500 = 2k gold on his ult. Its ridiculous.

Laning against Nasus is all about wave control and vision denial. He lacks any form of mobility and is very vulnerable to ganks early game.

He has to hit minions to get his healing. If you're letting him hit minions with any sort of regularity, you're not laning against Nasus properly.

Holy...I enjoy watching silvers talk..You played Garen and you can't beat Nasus... I have advice..stop playing Garen,cause he is bronze elo champion.Pick jax,kled,renekton,riven,neeko,kennen,ryze.Garen should be deleted from the game lol.

Kled now has 60% healing reduction on his Q. Teach that durn trespasser a lesson!

the thing with nasus is that low elo players approach the lane the wrong way, you don't just mash heads with him every time he goes for a minion anymore, you actually need to wait for your champions powerspike (nasus is quite weak to all ins before 6 but trading, not so much), also he runs you over at level 6 because his a mid game champion not a late game one.

well the only real ability he has any sustain on is his Q

his passive is life steal that scales per level.

if you dont play a lane bully vs nasus and dont have potential to kill him then he is going to never leave lane. but nasus has lots of bad match ups and still falls off after mid game.

everyone thinks he is some late game monster and thats not so... he is best mid game before adcs/burst mages out scale him.

This would have been a problem maybe 4 years ago, but Nasus is far from "unkillable" these days. You can have a ton of stacks but it doesn't mean you're gonna 1v5 like it used to.
