I think the time has come for a Nasus nerf. (or a buff for toplane)
You may see this title and think about a snappy comment involving my unskilledness, the fact that you can outbully Nasus, help from jungler, etcetera.
But please, allow me to say what i want to say first.
Nasus is a general threat to begin with. If you play a lategame champion which is weak in lane or a champion with serious sustain issues (mostly mana) you have a good reason to panic. You can't outbully him without the help of your jungler, or you actually can, but while you do it you can't focus on farm or vision or you have the tools to do it, but not the mana. And there are cases when he just plays better than you and your jungler refuses to gank. (most junglers simply don't care about toplane.)
But that's not all. If the plan of the enemy Nasus (which always revolves around getting as much stacks as you can) succeeds, he becomes an unkillable heavy mixed damage dealer, with a really strong cc, and health percent damage.
If the plan fails, Nasus becomes a tanky champion with a good cc tool, health percent damage. So he becomes a tank. A tank better than most tanks nowadays. And then he still poses general threat because if you leave him alone in lane and he gets some stacks he still becomes an unstoppable force.
I agree, he is not extremely strong as Janna or Zed, but it's a more toxic champion design than Darius.
Riot will of course ignore this post because they are occupied with the upcoming Lee sin nerfs (at least i hope), but it would be nice to either nerf Nasus's stacking by reducing the amount of damage he gets from them, or creating a cap for the stacks. The other way is to buff all toplaners, but of course it would be a longer process.
