Can Nasus only get 2 stacks per Q instead of 3?

Considering how much longer games seem to go on the last couple seasons he just seems to eventually gain a lot of stacks regardless of how much you punish him in lane. At some point he is going to be able to free farm and make up the ground pretty quickly. I've seen seeing him more recently and he isn't a lot of fun to play against especially as a carry.

This champ just feels like he was created before there were a lot of ways to stall out a game letting him make up ground.

Commence the down vote.

How do you plan on buffing him for removing 1/3rd of his main damage source?

It would be cool if he couldn't Q towers/inhibs.

I think we can all agree that infinite scaling abilities are a little broken. it's a fun mechanic for the 1 playing and it's not like nasus is unbeatable. But it's quite unfun for everyone else.

I'm not interested in Nerfing him into the ground, I'd much more be in favor of replacing is q/e haha.

It just doesn't sit well with me that a tank can do that kind of dmg. But there are worse things in this game lol.

I personally feel the Q shouldn't need to get hit. A good nasus should feel rewarded for Q farming.

I feel the bigger problem is how annoying and unfun he is to play agaisnt in lane largely due to his passive lifesteal. As of right now, all he needs to do is rush Glacial or spirit visage depending on the matchup and hes usually solid for the rest of the lane excluding a few bad matchups. You could argue any champ can do that, but they dont come with ridiculous innate sustain and continuous top pressure because of his Q. I'd much rather they would increase the amount of lifesteal he gained by maybe even double, but move it onto the duration of his Ulti and replace his current passive with something else. This way he can still be a great duelist later on, but now damage actually sticks to him early game.

No. Its most of what he can do. 2.5 per stack is pushing it. What he really needs is 3 things.

Passive: Weaker in the early-mid game. Nasus can just stack resistances and almost completely ignore you. Alternatively nerf his base stats or make it so Q doesn't proc lifesteal.

Siphon: Reduced damage to turrets and inhibs. Noone should be able to 1v1 2 towers in a row.

Wither: Duration cut in half. The only thing that can stand up to a Nasus is an ADC or Malzahar , the latter is very rare and the former is completely countered by his W (and the Randuins and FH that he will usually build). That is fine except for the fact that it has a ridiculous up-time.

The other issues regarding peeling and team fights, is that he can still delete front lines faster then any other tank. If Nautilus is on Nasus, wheres your team compared to the enemy's? Who's gonna win that fight between Naut and nasus? You'd like to think you can kill nasus right? Cause 1v5? Doesn't work like that. : )
