With ranged tops being everywhere, can we please speed up Nasus' Q stacking?

I've been trying to pick him back up because I think he's fun, but he feels completely useless right now with ranged tops basically nullifying any efforts to stack Q at a reasonable pace.

Why are you picking nasus vs ranged?

I only play normals, I'm just picking him to practice him and get better at Q stacking. But can't fucking do it with the way things are now.

Buy an ancient coin, max E, and wait it out. You can catch up on stacks later. Ratpors alone is 24 stacks. Just ask your jg for them from time to time.

no, speeding up nasus's stacking will just make melee champs even less viable top actually.. it will hurt melee more than ranged

Huh, okay yeah that makes sense. Didn't think about the other side. Melee definitely have it rough enough as is right now.

a better solution... WOULD BE MAKING CoC something nasus could trigger from the cunning tree!!! Not a keystone

though really I'm not sure why nasus would have such a problem with a passive like that

Yeah CotC would be great for Nasus if it applied to soft CCs. :\

So remove the counter play from Nasus?

Strawberrycocoa1 votes

"Counterplay" shouldn't mean "completely invalidate". There used to be ways you could just endure the early game until roaming happens and harrasment pressure eases up, but everyone starts exploding you at level 2 now.

yeah so he gets 5 stacks per small minion and 10 per large? and 50 per buffs? and 100 for drag and baron? no thanks, keep him where he is. don't need him getting 1000 stacks at 20 minutes

doesn't matter if he gets 1000 stacks he is still going to get kited by the whole teammates

Not if you take triforce instead of gauntlets. All you have to do is kill a minion to activate the ms boost from the phage component and then suddenly kiting isn't so cute anymore.

You think nasus is fun? You'd probably have a blast playing this new hit game. It's called Tetris check it out

Eh. I don't enjoy all the speedy-hyper-twitch-reflex champions that require fast deployment of skills in quick timeframes to be effective.E to shred their armor, W to slow their retaliation, hit Q and auto to chunk them. That's about my speed.

I used to do okay in this game when it was paced slower, but I'm getting left in the dust by everything favoring faster players who memorize entire libraries of statistics to economize every possible numerical advantage while having the reflexes to perfectly synchronize complex high-mobility nonsense. I just wanna fucking kill minions and push lanes and shit without spazzy hyper-aggression getting all in my face all damn lane. I'd just play bot games if they weren't boring.

every melee top feels completely useless why just buff him.
