Hello,

I would discuss about the current state of nasus. Well, more like asking what riot think about him right now while stating what i'm thinking (if someone care xD)

I'm playing nasus since years, not like a huge huge main, but, i don't know, i'm a lol player who never disliked nasus, and i always pick him when i feel i can, whatever his state is, i like a lot of the champion, his lore and everything about him. The feeling to slowly building power and erupt like a volcano when THAT opportunity lay, is fabulous. I want to point it out that, nasus is on a strong side, and there is a couple of reason as to the "why"

The thing is that nasus isn't strong because of his kit in my opinion, but rather than the keystone and the current meta

  • currently the best keystone if i'm not wrong on him, is kleptomancy, which is currently assersed
  • keystone made that the fighter class weaker (a nightmare for nasus before. When now, i'm facing a riven, i CAN TRADE on early level with her, that is not normal)
  • Tanks aren't a threat to him at all on lane, since what fit them as masteries can fit nasus aswell, and nasus have the power to take down them.
  • Games are more focused on mid game now, where Nasus enter in super saiyan mode once farmed enough (wink to the skin incoming eye with stars )
  • Mastery, dragon, herald, and so on who helps to take down objectives where nasus is already strong, are quite numerous, but tower are getting buffed

So i want to ask, do you think Nasus needs some tuning? If yes, which power should be reduced on him? Or should be waited the result of buff of differents areas (key stone for fighter, towers, klepto tuning down) ?

Well Nasus has been in and out of development for a rework for while. So no doubt Riot already has a kit that is more balanced and easier to fine tune. Just give them time to realize it.

Personally, I would like so see Nasus live up to the soul eating part of his lore, maybe have him share a passive with Thresh and fight over souls laying around. That and so Ren can live up to him being a butcher and finally eat people.
