Nasus buffs on PBE(8.24b/9.1)

Hello!

I recently started playing Nasus and I really do enjoy to play the champion. I think Nasus could use some love, but the buffs on his q are a bit to much. I have played a couple of games on him on the PBE and got 300 stacks in 8 minutes, which is fun. But if you want to play a champion and he gets picked/banned most of your games it won't be as fun as it used to.

It would be nice to see Nasus get a small buff, but the current buff on the PBE is in my opinion a little to much.

Hope to meet you all on the rift!

Greetings,

FlyingBirdMen

P.S. Who let the dogs out? Woof... Woof... Woof..

In my opinion I think it isn’t a good buff lol.

The increase to stacks on large ¨targets¨ does help, but it only helps when you actually stack on them. So if the enemy denies cannon minions or if you get camped and killed a shit ton and not getting return kills then the buff ain’t gonna do shit lol. Somebody I know and trust did the math and it only gives around +70 more stacks if you stack on ever single cannon minion in one lane for the first 20 min of a game. And that is a very big IF of +70 more stacks because there are lots of scenarios where you can be denied the cannon. Like the enemy forcing you to back and the cannon is killed under tower, or you miss timed your q and the cannon died before you stacked.

I would prefer a buff to nasus´s wither to make him more teamfight capable or rework his E slightly. Just something else in his kit that adds skill expression and makes it slightly easier late game to not get kited in a teamfight.

Note how I said TEAMFIGHT. That means when multiple enemies are around me and all CCing me to prevent me from reaching the 1 person I used wither on or preventing me from getting in range to use wither at all.

I can see why people hate nasus in low elo, especially because I play nasus there and I experience their hate hands on lol. But in high elo he is one of the worst champs out there and is countered by everything. I have no doubts some high elo players can make this buff work, but this buff doesn’t address any of Nasus’s main weaknesses that makes him unplayable in Diamond+

Once people realize that he gets a free long sword every stacked cannon/jg monster he'll just be pickban. a champion that still sucks early but can get to late no problem isn't fun, he'll be akali 2 but with no nerfs in sight.
