Lets face it, you are never going to get farm in ARAM. Much less stacks. And Nasus is missing a major component of his kit due to it.
They gave it to Gangplank. Which made him not so bad anymore. Actual ult upgrades! Yay. Even Bard has a decent number of chimes around.
Now time for Nasus to get the same treatment.
Seenan2 votesThey already did buff stacking for Nasus. He gets double the stacks per cs. Get a Sheen at starting and just go ham.
Silverjust2 votesmaybe.
My tip: build 
for easier stacking
Sasogwa2 votesUhm no. Stacking is harder in aram but insanely rewarding because the stacking is multiplied by 2. I think it's interesting this way and should stay like that. I don't see why Nasus that don't try actively to farm at all should get stacks. I've had some games with 300 + stacks at 10 min in aram
Brain Errör 4042 votesWere you playing against potatoes to get 300 stacks in an aram at 10mins? Cause that's ridonculous
Critmaster Garen1 votesgaren too please.
some teams are just straight up fighting you for cs, especially with how it factors into your mastery score. its sometimes almost imossible to get stacks, and you have to build incredibly selfish, just to be able to fight your team for minions.
i find myself often just building sunfire cape and ad to be able to waveclear faster or as fast as the mages on my team. i often have to take enemy tower shots and walk into risky positions to get cs, because otherwise the minion waves wouldnt even get close enough to get 1 or 2 before theyre cleared.
edit.: by the way, in nasus case it would give people more of an incentive to build ap nasus, not less.

I'm not sure that it would really be all that necessary for Garen.
I recently had an ARAM match as Garen that I was quite proud of.
I think the mistake that people make is that they think all you do as Garen (or most champions really) in these games is to try and go ham on the enemy champion as often as possible to try to get kills or chunk them down enough to get them to back off so you can push the wave.
I definitely try to help my teammates out when they try and engage or I will try and peel for them when they need it, but I actually focus more on killing minons than fighting.
Yes, you could say that I am taking farm from my carries, but as I mentioned earlier, most of the time the carry is trying to fight, and the minions just end up dying to our minions or the tower. Someone has to get cs. Might as well be me.
As Garen I had the added benefit of being able to back off now and then and regen a huge chunk of my health from my passive. All the while I'm just raking in the gold so that when I finally die I can buy Warmogs and Spirit Visage.
After that point, dropping out of combat for a few seconds means I can heal to full in no time.
The stacks on W I have accumulated up to now from cs on top of my massive health bar makes me tough to deal with already, so now it's time to build some damage.
That is when you start working towards picking up a Titanic Hydra.
The Cleave passive from Tiamat then Titanic makes finishing off your stacks a breeze.
You are also the perfect definition of a Juggernaut with only 3 items.
If the game were to last that long I would probably grab Death's Dance and Deadman's Plate, maybe Randuin's Omen.
I actually never saw much need for boots during that match though. Maybe picking up Frozen Mallet would be good to be sure that I wouldn't really need them.

Why are you buying Tiamat on a champ whose main form of damage prevents him from auto-attacking? Buy a Black Cleaver instead.
Elite4Runner1 votesWhy are you buying Tiamat on a champ whose main form of damage prevents him from auto-attacking? Buy a Black Cleaver instead.
Because it provides even more health, and when I do hit, it hits hard and a lot of targets at once.
Plus it is an auto attack reset.
AA, Q, AA, Cleave = 4 autos really fast.
Minarde1 votesIf your opponents regularly stand there and fight you for at least five seconds, then, sure, I could see Tiamat working. Cleaver is generally more useful though, since Garen easily applies the BC stacks and the MS makes it harder for people to kite you.

Well Warmog's and Spirit Visage puts me at 20% CDR, and I already planned on getting Death's Dance afterward for another 10%. Black Cleaver would put me over.
Plus considering that I was also running % Max HP Seals and Quints having the additional HP makes Titanic deal more damage.
I'm sure BC would work, maybe even better, but this did work and it was fun.
And, returning to the point of the OP, it helped to clear a full wave in a swing or two.

Need Gold 4 Tent1 votesAny minion stacking champ would need some kind of buff. The gray area would be when it coincides with takedowns and minions (Sion and Veigar), because on one hand, minion farm is horrible, on the other hand, kill counts are huge.

or they could give these champions always a good amount of stacks upon enemy champion kills and assists in that mode.
basically make those stacks work like sions w instead off minions.

Veigar gets stacks from kills and poke tho. he's already really strong tbh. Sion..I can see.
LXII1 votesUh... no? Why would anyone think giving Nasus literally free damage on his Q would be a good idea?
Denims Wrath6661 votesim going to say no, still requires a bit of skill to play nasus-lets keep it that way. get your scooby stax on your own dude.
