Nasus Buff was a Terrible Idea

Sure Nasus needed help, but now he can just buttfuck any melee in the game the second he hits 6.

For a champ thats counterplay in lane is to bully and harass him, his 6 powerspike is fucking retarded.

Make it at most 25% CD on Q, having legit 3 seconds between Q's at 6 with just a sheen is retarded.

I hate nasus with passion. Even prior to the buff.

riot balacing at finest. instead of making him less shitty against kite they just buffed him on the part where he has been already strong af. meele combat.

Nasus is still dogshit (no pun intended) he doesn't do anything really unless he can actually get some kills early but all they have to do is roam and nasus can't do anything besides push but he can't push waves either so hes kinda shitty.

All they did was buff his strengths while leaving his weaknesses.

Don't like it? Play into his weaknesses.

Other champs are strong without obvious weaknesses, at least Nasus has those to keep him in check.

I always wondered(prior to the buffs) why not reduce his slow% and duration,but make it a ground mechanic?

Yeah,I kinda want him to shit on Riven ( sorry )

Pretty sure Illaoi can still burst him down when he's 6. He doesn't have enough stacks to 1v1 her.

Nasus has a win rate 50.11% for Platinum+ players whilst the very best Nasus's are earning a win rate of 54.18% with the average rank of these top players being in Diamond V.

LoLalytics ranks Nasus at 119 amongst all champions earning a tier grade of Silver.

This ranking takes into account the win rate of Platinum+ players, the pick/ban influence of Nasus, the win rate and average rank of the best Nasus players.

for this patch... he sits at a 50.11% win rate that is with a 10.42% pick rate

if anything he is right in align where he should be ... the buff on his ult reducing his Q cd which gives him an earlier power spike in game is right in tune with the meta and other champs due to the shorter game times.

I still don't understand why we are buffing Nasus instead of looking into a rework. He's a relic from the past and has no place in the current game, not to mention he's a HUGE liability in the balance department if the game's ever turn into slogfests.

The simple aspect of his infinite scaling and winrate based on game length makes him someone that can teeter from certain changes. I just don't see how the dog has a place in the new style of League and I think it would have been better to just change up his playstyle anyway. I mean how engaging is "I want to farm farm farm, so sit on me and don't let me do that."

New idea for nasus buff when he is ulted every q drops a yasuo into the match who will ace your team emote spam and then die to jungle creeps

First time I fought buffed Nasus as my man Yorick. I still made him my bitch.

They just need to nerf wither. Reduce the duration of the slow or reduce the strength of the slow. It gives him far too much dueling power for a late-game power-farm champion in the early laning phase.

The buff itself was a decent idea, it was just too good.

Some Nasus mains proposed that Q CDR should be 30%/40%/50% if Rito decides to nerf him.

Cho/Nasus both being watched. Nasus probably ok, Cho might still be a bit strong, so thinking about possible nerfs, but not shipping em until needed (need a bit more time to assess 7.15 in part).

I said the same, got tons of downvotes

sheen is the problem not nasus with the reworked ult he can rush sheen to kill people since he gets armor over time the old nasus needed a spirit visage or frozen heart to survive

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/GrURjLdB-so-we-are-gonna-pretend-that-nasus-is-balanced-now

Called it....and ofcourse it was early and boards was all like "no no nasus is fine nono no"

Andnow they see taht every pro player and high rank player ban nasus it beggins....

I mean jesus people you see the numbers...50% free cdr...you see the NUMBERS plus build armor to somehow counter nasus? lol free armor penetration and now its % rather than flat..

And his W? we didnt even bother nerf it first so he cant be broken...no we just str8 up buff him...

Numbers people Numbers never lie

Penns8/2/2017, 11:26:07 AM1 votes

well it basically made his ult double his Q stacks for 15 seconds.. :thinking: hehe

Shiznyte8/6/2017, 2:47:47 PM1 votes

Take the Attack speed slow off wither... ADC's should be able to kite him but cannot. as it stands with max cdr and max rank wither it never has down time... the attack speed slow is too much for ADC's. if you wanna nerf him that's a simple way to do it.

Edit: or make wither a skill shot and increase it's range. currently the champion is too easy to play and get rewarded the way you do. Brain Dead champs shouldnt be too strong or they become OP pretty fast. Point and Click wither has very little counter play if you are a Ranged auto attacker.

Yasuo still seems to kick my ass, even when I'm far ahead of him..... it's a joke tbh.

Literally the most autistic fucking champion ever, I was a 3/1 AP Shaco top, Nasus dove me at 25% health, uses wither so I can't walk away so I flash since Q is on cooldown, he flashes RIGHT INTO 3 OF MY ULT BOXES, TAKING TOWER DAMAGE, AND IS ABLE TO WALK OUT AND Q ME FROM MASSIVE RANGE, HE HAD 90 MAGIC RESIST (60 armor)... How the fuck is that fair? I had 30 more cs, he had about 30-40 stacks less than he should have at the certain time, and can still kill me in 4 shots. Why the fuck has he not been nerfed yet. Riot absolutely fucking sucks at nerfing anything, Warwick's had a 54% winrate for 4 patches, it took them through the whole preseason to finally nerf Vayne, Udyr has had a 53.5% winrate for a while now. What is this bullshit... w/e It's an old post I came here to vent. Fuck Nasus.
