Nasus being neglected does not make it okay for him to be overpowered in his current state

So far from whomever, I have spoken to about Nasus the answer is always "Yes he's pretty busted, but thats okay because he used to suck"

Nasus in his current state is a pretty cancerous champion, especially in the right hands, you need at least 3 people to deal with and he just destroys turrets during his ult.

You can't really trade with him because of % armor pen and slow, and during his ult he just spams his Q which can stack to 4-500 in the hands of a decent player mid game.

This champion brings a new meaning to the phrase Anti-fun.

Something has to be done.

he's not overpowered

a mid game champion who's well farmed having a strong mid game is not overpowered

If you are consistently losing to,nasus right now you are bad at the game

most people already fuck up against nasus in how they play the lane. many people play like push bots and try to make him lose cs under his tower, which never works. youre just giving him the ideal position to farm in safety.

if your opponent isnt shit, he will never really lose a lot of cs to a turret. and especially nasus isnt going to lose a single stack there.

instead you need to freeze the minion wave on your side of the lane infront of your turret from the first couple of minutes on, where hes exposed to your jungler and an easy abusable target.

you beat nasus in lane to 90% by minion management and most of the player base has no idea how lane management works.

"overpowered"

{quoted}

He's pretty unkillable, while throwing huge numbers in damage

He is a tank which deals stupid amounts of damage in the right hands.

hes a juggernaut. its the entire point of the champion. juggs are tanky melee carries.

his downside is that hes slow as fuck and kitable. and in this meta, its a very abusable weakness. uf you rotate cc on him and dont let him get close, he wont carry.

Kite him out, engage in teamfights cause he sucks in them, have your ADC and a tank casually gank him and shit on him. Its very simple, I even main the bastard, and hes got gaping weaknesses you are not capitalizing on

Nasus is NOT Overpowered right now. Despite the buffs, he is still incredibly weak and needs more tools to survive the laning phase, or he always will be.

I don't honestly care about your Elo or what you're experiencing. We don't balance this game around mistakes, we balance it around the highest levels and for good reason. As it stands, in Plat and up, Nasus barely has a 50% winrate, and in diamond and up, he has a 47% winrate.

Nasus still needs love and he still needs buffs, you just aren't used to facing one nor do you know how to properly punish one because of your elo.

His e is the biggest problem Imo you can't run from him when he uses it and then he e's and ults and pops 3qs it's over. Either the slow should be lowered or the duration

Overbearing when he gets ahead or is being handled incorrectly. People need to learn wave manipulation and how to gank. You freeze, your jungler ganks.

If your jungler / mid laner isn't bullying the shit out of nasus with you, then you're gonna have some problems.

1v1'ing him is harder now, and if you let him farm he is a much larger threat, but honestly? Even if he gets ahead he is SO binary in how he plays, "Can you kite him?" if yes, he's useless, if no, he's gonna murder you all if you didn't handle him correctly.

He's not OP at all though, he's just annoying when you havn't taken measures to deal with him.

Also QSS is really good against him if you are having issues kiting him. People forget QSS exists unless there's a malzahar / warwick in the game, at least in lower divisions.

He might be pretty strong in low elo, I wouldn't know, but he definitely is not in high elo. It's the same old stuff honestly, if you get ahead you can be a splitpush god, but what else really? I guess you can teamfight with him but he ends up just getting kited once the frontline is well-established.
