A Nasus Balance Idea

Shuyin178·Aug 20, 2017·4 votes·341 views

Make it so Wither (Nasus's W) gets removed when struck by his Siphoning Strike (Nasus's Q). The most frustrating thing right now about playing against Nasus is that he can hit you with multiple Qs while you are still locked down by Wither. "You want to run away from Nasus? To bad, you're still slowed by 47% - 95% even after flashing or mobility spell."

If the interaction existed for it to be removed like consuming a mark on an enemy, like multiple champions in the game have so I know the tech already exists, he would be somewhat fair to play against.

Don't add this then add more power somewhere else, you already gave him the 50% CDR on his Q without weakening anything else on his kit (the changes to E were also a buff). So think of this as a little power being taken away as the compensation nerf that should have already happened when you launched this ridiculous buff.

Nasus doesn't need any nerfs. If he needs to be tweaked, he needs more buffs or a complete change of his kit. He is still lackluster and doesn't really offer the same kind of potential to the team from the beginning as many other toplaners do. His win rate isn't great, he hasn't had much impact outside a few games in the low Elo and he isn't a priority pick/ban. He is really is to play against and he has too many flaws and weaknesses in his kit for him to actually be better than a select choice of champions that you can play.

Lane against a Nasus that actually has a clue and then tell me he's fair please. You can even play as him and find out for yourself directly.

Do this and you could buff him in other areas. I like it.

Not sure if it's good.

Please read the last parts.

This should be the "balancing" nerf that Riot forgot to add to his kit when doubling his Q's damage output.

Except apparently he still sucks in high elo.

And? There are more elos than just Plat+ Riot has balanced champions around Diamond and lower before. Not every champion needs that 52% win rate to be worthy of nerfs.

Yes let's nerf his only engage and disengage ability by making him gimp it himself when mobility, QSS and CC already easily kite him from doing damage. Oh and it's single target so that makes this idea even better...

Seriously this is so innately stupid I can't understand how you even came to this conclusion when the champ is already drifting back to a 46% win rate. He did not get any of his weaknesses removed when they gave him the E QoL change or the reduced Q CDR on ult which is a 15 sec window.
