Nasus W

Super Sayajhin··2 votes·1,088 views

i just feel like if your gonna give a character that does so much damage, a slow that slows a lot and a takes a long time to fade (other then QSS) Nasus then does 500 a Q, it either needs to be nerfed so it doesn't slow as much or doesn't last that long of a time

The thing that makes Nasus W really useful is the cripple (atk spd slow). As Nasus Is supposed to split push, he needs to be able to duel. W allows him to do this, mainly through the cripple. His W is next to useless in teamfights, as he can almost never get close enough to the adc, and probably will end up W'ing some random frontliner.

Yes. but i feel like nasus should have other abilities that rely for dueling, his e is kinda useless because it has a ap ratio, so i guess the W slow being strong is kinda a buff for his lack of a good E ability

Nasus E gives quite a bit of armor reduction, resulting in a classic E+Q nuke. Theres a reason why Nasus always E first before Q'ing

Nasus is literally made for late game. It takes quite a while before Nasus to reach that point, and if gets there, he deserves it because he can get punished badly in the early game, where he is super weak.

He doesn't need a slow that powerful to make him useful, play your early game smart and you win late/mid game if you farm correctly

ANYONE can play smart, whether you're playing as or against Nasus. If both players are smart, the opponent can still hurt the Nasus's late game by ruining his early game. If you've been struggling that much, it's because you either can't play smart enough, or simply refuse to.

I haven't lost a lane to a nasus in a while because you can just pressure him from the minion wave. Its just that when nasus with trin force and like 100 stacks, runs into a squishy and then the squishy is hit with nasus w, he has no form of escaping its pretty much a lost fight from there (saying if its a 1v1 situation) and the same for the support and midlaner. most are squishy not much counter play other then flashing or hoping he doesnt dive you

Since there isn't a gap closer for Nasus to do his damage (except for the occasional summoner 4 ), he has a more unreliable way of getting to them (via his W slow). Someone can easily counter Nasus W slow by getting aitem 3140, buying item 3111 oritem 3009, or if it's really getting a problem, bringing summoner 1. Also without a gap closer, the enemy still has a chance to survive if a teammate is nearby. Nasus Q damage is already balanced by how long it takes to stack it and how bad he is in the early game because of it, he can easily be beaten by a large number of top laners due to this. You're making this more complicated for yourself because obviously, you're only complaining because you had a bad time going up against Nasus.

I haven't had a bad time against nasus in a while, and yes you bring up some very good counter points. But if your in the middle of top lane (not that far from eachother) the slow shouldnt even last that long. For example Tryndamere has a slow but you can dodge it, and it doesnt even slow you for that long. Nasus slow is point and click and slows you forever.

I only really play one character top lane and its Swain, i prefer either bringing comet or electrocute to actually do some damage.

Think about it nasus needs his w to get on top of people, otherwise you can literally just run away. Plus it's the only part of his kit that allows him to escape in a gank or actually trade. He'd be completely useless without it.

That's my 2¢ about it.
