Grasp of the undying nerf?
Is it still good for top laners or does it mean we should be taking other keystones since it got nerfed? Mainly speaking on champions like Nasus and singed.

i think they ruined it completely. it only gives HALF the sustain now. taking anything else would be much better. i mean think about this.....a tank with 4000hp would steal 120hp from someone when he hit them with grasp at 3% healing, now that its 1.5% he only steals 60 hp. really not worth it anymore. and those numbers are when you are at full build with 4000hp. imagine in laning phase when 1.5% is like 3hp lol useless now
Still good for tanky top laners, just not as good for everyone else.
If you took it before because it was the only good mastery for your champ, you'll still take it now. You'll just do slightly worse than you did before, but you'll still take it over the other choices because it does something fundamentally different.
I was under the impression that Nasus was switching over to Stormraider's Surge, though, and this might be the final push to make all the Nasus players switch. But I don't see most of top lane switching to Strength of the Ages or Bond of Stone because of the nerf.
Actually, in cases where the enemy has a large amount of magic resist, this is a small buff. The heal is no longer tied to the damage dealt, instead directly healing a percentage of your max health.
I never really liked grasp
its only really good on a few champions like gangplank who can abuse it and champions like fizz and ekko who have the power to stick anyway
using it on sion for example is meh because he cant reliably get basic attacks off
stormraiders on the other hand is just golden on him not only do you get to activate shield launch e in someone face walk up to them q them pop shield and zoom away without taking a single bit of damage it's flat out deadly on his passive ^^
And stormraiders also is very good on most juggernauts like darius or nasus to give that extra mobility and even some tanks as their combo can often do the 30% damage needed on squishies
Grasp only works if you can't be kited in the first place
