Now that we buffed Nasus Q and Ult, can we PLEASE nerf his overpowered SLOW?

Lvl 5 point and click W gives 95% slow for 5 seconds and 47% atk speed reduction, which for adcs is almost a 5 seconds stun. Add the Iceborg Gaunlet slow effect, Dead Man's Plate speed, Righteous Glory speedbuff and the tons of tenacity/speed buffs from the new runes and we have a very op tank machine. I play as a support and I believe that's VERY unfair to have a tank deleting my adc even when i spend 3 shields at him lol

If you wanted to have credibility, youd at least look up what his slow is/does.... Its not 95% for 5 seconds.

And if youre a shield support thinking a shield is going to save your ADC against nasus.... youre gunna have a bad time. It wouldnt save them from any other bruiser either.

This is why i believe Nasus lacks counterplay, not only does he get his powerspike too early compared to before because of all the cash he can make, but he's so hard to kill.

He's too tanky to be taken down by burst, so you need a source of sustained damage if you want a chance at killing him. But his wither kills attack speed and makes whoever got withered unable to even trade back and remotely deal damage to him for a whole five seconds.

When laning vs Nasus, if you're AP, he'll just build a item 3211 at 5 minutes and ignore ALL your damage. If you're AD, he'll just wither you and win trades.

Nasus needs a bigger window where he is weak. For a champion that can stack infinitely, he is too reliable currently.

Maxed W gives an average of 65% slow and 32.5 % attack speed slow. If you're gonna use only the max values, then say it lasts only 1 second ... because those values are only there at the last second.

And also knowing Nasus was garbage 45% WR with the old attack speed slow that gave 35-95% ats slow as well and had higher range, I highly doubt that slow is the problem. Slow is annoying but it's powder to the eyes.

Juggernaut =/= tank

Instead of nerfing wither, you should nerf his lane phase. He is supposed to be VERY weak in lane but after level 6 he basically becomes unkillable because of the mega buffs they gave his ult awhile back. Remove some power from the first rank of his ultimate so that people can actually fight him in lane after he gets it.

His slow is what breaks the gap for him to not be infinitely kitted to death, if anything just make it so it’s not point and click.

It’d be okay if it didn’t have like a 2s downtime late game. Almost perma wither

"Now that Nasus is finally playable, let's make him unplayable!"

nah brah

Why? I bought item 3222 for the first time in years a couple games ago because of his slow and it was AWESOME.

nasus is NOT a tank he is a juggernaut which means that he is tanky and deals alot of damage but gets kited alot because of his limited mobility like these Darius Garen Mordekaiser the way you counter him is kiting and qss

as someone who switched to maining support.

FUCK this post, it takes a point and click W and gives 95% slow with a 47% attack speed reduction to even get in melee range of ADCs now a days

Nasus is actually fine right now. You're crying for nerfs, but it won't happen.

Shuriman Curator2/16/2018, 11:06:43 PM3 votes

He's a juggernaut, up close and personal is where he shines.

Ashen Rider2/16/2018, 5:08:47 PM3 votes

The reason Nasus is pretty meh in teamfights is cause he can't wither the entire enemy team, just one player.

Don't worry, now that his new skin has released he can be nerfed in 2-4 weeks.

ÀIpha2/17/2018, 4:39:19 PM2 votes

You do know that the max slow doesn't apply until nearly the end of the duration right? If and adc like vayne or twitch buy a QSS (if the slow really is that bad of a problem) then nasus will most likely die if by the time he gets it up late game.

Kanzler2/16/2018, 6:10:54 PM2 votes

I would nerf his passive. It's so hard to stick damage when he heals for 30 hp ler q at level 1

who care ??? i mean his f***** W need to be nerfed, cause its cancerous af (his whole state).... But its more an issue for immobile melee. As adc you're bond to your supp.

Nasus isn’t even in the top 30 highest winrate Top laners...

Maybe you're doing something wrong?

as a nasus main, who plays the shit outta nasus, i'd have to have a counter buff to this. i'd be ok with a lowered %, even a bit of a smaller duration, but i want something in return. Lulu and Shyvana have similar ults to Nasus and Renekton . i think the boys should do a bit of a knock up. even if it was just a small bump like a trundle pillar when you ult. think about it, if someone doubles in size while you're bear hugging them, you're gunna get knocked back a bit.
