@riot nasus E at level1 is beyond waste
Rank 1 Nasus E needs 70 mana for doing 55 damage and 11 per second total of 5 seconds which nobody will ever stay in there and take the tick damage and then it gives 15% armor pen when he can only use his Q to do damage which is beyond garbage at the start and he needs to farm with his Q making it even worse.
Orianna 17 armor at level 1 17-15% = 14.5 armor left so its 2.5 armor pen.
Leona 47 armor at level 1 47-15% = 40 armor left so its 7 armor pen.
Lets compare it with the old E 20 flat armor pen at rank 1.
Orianna 17 armor at level 1 17-20 = -3 armor left so its 20 armor pen.
Leona 47 armor at level 1 47-20 = 27 armor left so its 20 armor pen.
Ever since you guys changed his E it made his early game so horrible to the point where using E at low levels is actually making yourself run out of mana for almost nothing in exchange i have been actively making posts about this and i feel like i am being ignored it would be nice if i can get a response.
My suggestions are that you should increase it from 15/20/25/30/35% to 30/35/40/45/50% armor pen instead.
This won't make nasus overpowered at all because even tho if he can armor shred tanks he has no tools to deal with health because nasus cant build blade of the ruined king or lord doms the only thing he can rely on that job is his ultimate which sadly is an ability power damage which doesn't even work with his E armor pen, not the mention nasus can easily get kited so badly ever since you guys removed stormraider's surge. As a nasus one trick who has reached diamond 2 83 lp at season 7 that has more than 1000 games of nasus i feel so frustrated that you didn't even consider the effects of the changes you guys did to his early game at patch 7.15.
Nasus isn't an adc carry or any carry champ that has range or any gapcloser so giving these buffs wont make him overpowered because unlike them he needs to build resistance to survive being kited and reaching his targets and not to mentions even if you give these buffs to his E they can just get out of the circle and make it unless with mercs boots or QSS.
if you think this is overpowered then you are wrong because there are already examples of champions that can do this like Fiora and yasuo they both have better early game by a mile than nasus, they both have extreme mobility and gap closers which nasus doesn't have, they both outscale nasus even tho nasus has a stack mechanic which is so bad compared to the rest like veigar, they both can build lifesteal items to survive and they both do alot of bursts damage even if you are a tank regardless, fiora has true damage on top of that she uses conqueror and similar to yasuo he can easily get 100% crit with 2 items and he can get 50% armor pen after using R for 12 seconds also he uses conqueror too.
So i don't see a big deal if you buff nasus like i have suggested. and if this still doesn't convince anyone of you for love of god please just make nasus E from 15/20/25/30/35% to 35% at all ranks instead because it needs to do something, it doesn't do much damage at all it doesn't even wave clear at all so what am i wasting 70 mana for? you understand my point? give it a purpose for spending 70 mana at rank 1 for his E.
Hope i can get some up votes on this and riot anyone of you please respond to this post thank you.
