Nasus Q's ability to hit tower is stronger than rengar's ever was

Remember when rengar was super broken, and could basically take a tower in a few hits? Whats the difference between rengar's q and nasus's being able to hit towers? Why is nasus's q unable to be blocked by any ability that blocks auto attacks? Please, Nasus just becomes a monster and can either just split push and one shot towers, or group and one shot everyone else.

Nasus is fine the way he is, he has a bad early game, but his ability to build complete tank and do more damage than a carry when farmed is not ok, he needs some way to lose stacks, cho suffers from it, why can't Nasus.

Rengar is very strong, but if one has 5 stacks, you KNOW he is gunna try to snare you, no other conclusion, and saying rengars snare is op is just as morganas' year root on top of an AoE DoT isn't? or a lux snare with a aoe pop. he has a snare that he needs to get onto you in physical range to utilize.

The difference between rengar and nasus. is that if nasus couldn't push down towers effectively he would be unreasonably underwhelming.

If they wanted to stop his Q from proccing towers they'd give him huge buffs to his teamfight potential to keep him where he is as a late game powerhouse.

Rengar gains a massive attack speed boost.

Nasus took 30 solid minutes of farming Q for him to shred towers. Rengar just needed a little AD and a few points into Q to do it.

the main difference is that nasus needs to farm his way up to that point and has a asomewhat poor early. Regear on ther other hand had a godly earlygame and massive lane-presence aswell as towertakeing potential from the start of the game, and his ult allowed for a easy escape if the rape-squad comes for the splitpusher, while nasus can only hope to wither take one with them or stay alive long enough for his team to gain a objektive.

Rengar has invisibility to escape. Rengar built attack damage, so his normal basic attacks deals significant damage to the tower. Rengar got attack speed from his Ferocity-Q to push faster.

Nasus doesn't have a way to escape enemies aside from Withering them and running. If he's caught by more than one enemy, he'll have to try and fight or hope they don't have any CC to chase/kite him. He doesn't typically build damage or attack speed (with the exception of Trinity Force), so his normal autoattacks don't really deal a lot of damage to towers.

Why is nasus's q unable to be blocked by any ability that blocks auto attacks?

Pantheon's passive blocks Q. Blind negates damage dealt by Q. Parried by Fiora's W. Spellshield's block Q.

Since Nasus doesn't typically build Armor Penetration, he only really deals significant damage to champions which don't build defenses. Against bruisers or tanks, Nasus deals significantly less damage unless they have built primarily damage.

Against attack speed dependent champions, his Wither can help equalize a lot of fights. It's generally recommended to build a Quicksilver Sash at some point to remove Wither (1250g later in the game isn't that significant).

At least Nasus can't jump out of nowhere and tear you apart before you and your team have fully realized what's going on. And at least he doesn't have hard CC or a gap closer.

Nasus can after much farm kill a tower faster than Rengar.

But Rengar can double Q every 2-3 Q's while empowering it. Early/Mid game, Rengar would take a tower down faster.

Rengar has burst Nasus just kills you slowly... emphasis on slowly -. - taking 5~10 seconds to kill someone is a really long time taking into account cooldowns and getting kited all the fking time

has anyone does a comparison between Nasus and some other AD champ? i figured over time, the sustained dps from any other AD bruiser is equal or higher than nasus's
