Take away the initial burst damage from Nasus' E.

Cosmic Hamster··3 votes·770 views

It's stupid that even in what should be a bad match up for a Nasus he still ends up winning lane by rushing two doran rings and putting a few points in E first. Laning against this type of Nasus is tremendously oppressive since he farms the waves so easily and often hits you with it for tremendous initial burst damage. I feel like the burst damage should be taken away from it, that way it isn't so ridiculously reliable for farming minions and poking champs at the same time. Increase the damage people and minions take for standing in it, I'm all for that.

Nah. Putting points in E instead of Q takes away a lot of stacks because of cooldown reduction you get from leveling Q (plus the bonus dmg that he also gets from upgrading Q). So if he levels E first he has to choose between easier stacking or 1v1 potential with W for second spell to level and he is still on loss whatever he picks. He gets more mana from killing minions with double Doran's and more poke but weaker fights and delayed stacks/core items. Lane pressure is not worth the stacks lost. If he maxes E he will push quite a bit, gank him and that's it.

Why would something that is such a bad idea be so annoying that it makes you want Riot to remove it? Play smart, don't be "that guy" that says "DURR THIS DEALS A LOT OF DMG BROKEN NERF REMOVE WTF".

If you remotely understood the game at a halfway decent level you wouldn't have more losses than wins in mid silver elo

If YOU remotely understood the game at half-decent level you wouldn't need to change the subject to my win rate and wouldn't cry about someone being able to push/farm and poke at the same time.

I do understand the game at a decent level, a guy hopelessly stuck in silver acting like he understands the game is laughable. No point in talking to you about balance when you don't understand how to even play optimally.

You are Gold and you think you are good now? Please, when I posted a constructive comment that makes sense you completely gave up and started insulting me based on my elo. "No point in talking to you" so basically you give up? Yeah it's true that there is no point in talking to me about balance because I as a Silver probably know more than your "IT DEALS DAMAGE AND KILLS MINIONS RITO NERF" attitude. There is nothing you can say that I do not already know, yet you think you are better than me just because you are Gold and I'm Silver? Whatever floats ur boat mate, but it's obvious that you are running from argument that you cannot win. Nobody ever said "ur bad no point in talking to you" and actually meant it, it's merely an escape tool.

'Lane pressure nasus' is actually the dominant strategy right now.
