Nasus and Illaoi

These champs are busted. Illaoi less than Nasus, she can be taken care of early game with a lot of ganks but her Q along with her E do way too much damage and heal her for way too much as well. Late game, even having a bad k/d/a, she is almost Impossible to kill because of the combo she has with her ultimate. Let's move to Nasus, oh boy, where do I start? If he isn't banned, he gets picked. It's a nightmare facing him top lane even if you manage to counter pick against him. Early game nothing much will really happen but past level 6, he is really difficult to deal with because of those stacks. If you leave lane to help your team, say goodbye to your tower because his Q will get rid of that pretty quickly. Late game, it's literally impossible to kill him. 2 Q's on an adc and they're dead, his W's cooldown is ridiculously low for how effective it is, even with merc treads. You can still win games against both of these champs but the chances of that are considerably low. All I want to know is, will Riot nerf these champs at all? I can understand why Illaoi wouldn't need a nerf as much but Nasus NEEDS to be nerfed. Of course, this is all just my opinion, however, i'm sure that i'm not the only one that feels this way, especially about Nasus.

If you catch up to an adc with how they are now you deserve to 2 shot them.

Nasus had a high winrate (over 50 percent ) with klepto only if memory serves, klepto just got nerfed. Both illaio and nasus used it to good effect. I believe nasus with his apparently second best keystone (grasp) was at a flat 50 percent winrate. So very normal. Not sure on illaio.

Wait a bit and see how they flesh out after this nerf, and also talisman not being a thing for nasus any longer.

Nasus: requires teamplay to shut him down to a point that he is useless, or you MUST have map presence and help team secure objectives faster and better than nasus can take alone. One of the archaic champs that should have a Q cap but if they did that players would burn the place to the ground.

Illaoi: Is a rare case, as 90% of her power is in her E, and many people don't realize that. If she misses this ability, you have a window that allows her to be punished, as much of her damage is done from hitting her tentacles on you and the copy, thus more damage to you in general.

Although I despise Illaoi minigame, she is far more balanced then Gangplank imo, who doesn't have to do anything but farm and R for free assist power. And has the most opressive kits in the game that scales so had late game it alone can wipe teams. Ranged AA ability Barrels that they can sit on that severely punish you and in most melee matchups, you cannot counter it due to it being protected by brush, or under his own turret for instance. Get out of jail free card if he is CC'd or is on low hp And the point and click giant aoe slow that guarantees some sort of gain, as to which most ways to beat it is to bait out the ult so he doesn't have the bloody thing.

Illaoi , is merely a lane bully that punishes people who do not respect her. She is level 6 and just landed her E? Don't freaking fight her even if its 2 vs 1, unless your both tanky/ can chain cc her, or just fed in general, you actually need to use your brain cells when fighting her.

Nasus on the other hand is just slightly overtuned right now, mostly because his ult was overbuffed and it gives him way too much stats, way too early into the game, (Seriously hp, resists, damage over time, 50% cdr on Q), which means that a level 6Nasus that rushed item 3057 , can probably already kick your ass in an all in.
