AP Nasus Discussion

Foreword - I apologize if there's already a thread going on regarding AP Nasus; I personally didn't see one. Secondly, before I get the "gg you noob" comments; no I did not just lose against one. Quite the opposite actually I went against a Nasus with 400+ games and ended up 8 - 2 with an S grade.

Now that the derailing commentary is out of the way here's my issue with him. I do not like the wave clear he gets off of his E ability alone. I get that AP Nasus is a niche pick and part of the reason why he's risen to popularity is because that E ability is strong (60% + 60% AP ratios total) and is capable of clearing minions easily but I just do not see it as a healthy thing. The game I played against Nasus got extremely boring as all he would do is E the lane walk to one of the wraith camps and do the same and come back to do it all over. There was such low interaction that I didn't even care that I won; I had absolutely no fun for the first 20 minutes of the game.

My suggestion is to cut damage by 50% on minions while keeping his E ability the same. Then as a compensation if people still want to play him; I'd suggest adding a small AP ration on his Q in the same way Miss Fortune to make him sort of viable and fun with Lich Bane.

Feel free to let me know what you guys think whether you believe the changes should be different or if you see AP Nasus as a completely ok champion that doesn't require any changes.

It's like old Morgana soil - I'm surprised it's been in the game as long as it has tbh.

With the current surge of double doranring splitpush nasus, I can see them making some changes before the season starts.

Yeah, it's a pretty toxic play style to be honest. Laning against AP Nasus or even a Nasus with double doran ring and E max is so frustrating and boring due to the complete lack of interaction. You don't even get a chance to out play or anything because there is no interaction, just instant wave clear.
