NERF! Nasus NOW!

The fact that a Nasus jungle can get 800 stacks by 20 minutes is genuinely ridiculous. Fair enough he can get poked out of lane, but that is the premise of playing Nasus and all Nasus mains know this. All Nasus mains have always had this thought process. Early game: Try to last hit as best as possible and gathering stacks. Wait for level 6 and depending on the matchup looking for an all in at level 6. Mid game: Split push and Q minions as often as possible. Late game: With a lot of stacks gathered because of 40 minutes of stacking he can start having a lot of game prevalence and start team fighting and focusing the right people. Now all a Nasus has to do. Go jungle get 48 stacks from first clear and start ganking with your insane early game stacks. Then keep clearing and have 500-800 stacks by 20 minutes. Which is what Nasus would normally have by 40-50 minutes. After Riot buffing and nerfing champs for over a decade now, it is truly a mystery how riot thought this buff was a good idea or needed at all.

800 stacks by 20, huh? I've done the math, which involved assuming Nasus has a fully leveled Q right away, infinite mana, and is always killing a minion every 4 seconds from the very start of the game without any form of break, dying, fighting back, or even recall, and that is the only possible way to reach that goal.

You exaggerate beyond all reality.

Nasus having so many stacks in a short amount of time is a problem. However, my biggest concern is his W. I dont really care about the movement speed reduction, but my problem is that it reduces your attack speed as well. Once he uses that, and procs his Ult, which is the only thing he needs to press to win. That's it. You might as well just leave your computer. Nasus' W is very frustrating to deal with when you're trying to make a critical move to actually beat him. Granted, trying to prevent him from stacking is as easy said than done, but there will be those players that will just sit at turret all day to get those stacks until you foolishly try to dive him, since his passive is a set amount of life steal already. So yeah, getting rid of his reducing attack speed effect is great or at the very least, weaken the effect so it doesnt last 5 long seconds. Seriously, why make it last that long. Most slowing effects dont even last that much.

the fact that you let jungle nasus even get a single stack is hilarious.

invade him. kill him. its that easy. nasus early is trash and he cant 1v1 any of the meta junglers. all your jungler has to do is invade and counterjungle.

its easier to shut down jungle nasus, than lane nasus. jungle nasus doesnt have the protection of a turret.

Here's your problem. You keep letting the game get up to 30 minutes or you're not using your early game advantage against Nasus to keep him down and then continue to keep him down after he falls behind.

I just discovered that buffed Nasus is a hard counter to Fiora. Don't get me wrong, he was always her counter but not a hard counter. You could still win with proper wave management and hyper agressive play. Since his buff, that shit doesn't work anymore. He will just outscale you before lane phase is done no matter how many times you kill him.
