Nasus buffs?
Just wondering why they want Nasus's Q to be a lower cooldown than yasuo's Q late game?

I don't think 1 has anything to do with the other.

Nasus was sitting at a 46% win rate pre-patch. Even if he was well farmed and itemized he still failed to find relevance as a split pusher or a team fighter. His life steal is applied after resistance are calculated so even with 800 stacks he could barely do 300 damage to a tank. The % Armor reduction with his Q on ult is meant to give him back some trading power vs tanks who he typically is fighting and allow him to sustain and damage them like his Juggernaut brethren can.
Nasus is also supposed to be one of the best duelists late game but so many champion who can itemize and scale with AD items also have true damage were massively out healing and dueling him even if he did well. Fiora, Jax, Darius, Garen, Riven and even Yasuo to name a few. The Q change in ult is windowed and thus not always available. Nasus must choose between using it to kill an enemy or taking objectives faster.
All in all Nasus's primary weaknesses are in tact. He is still easily kited and hard CC shuts him down. Yasuo will still have more up time on his Q than Nasus will it will just be a lot harder to fight a Nasus who still has ult which was always suppose to be the case.
I really think he is overpowered now. If it's actualy a player who can play nasus and gets an easy matchup toplane - he gets 3 kills and becomes unstoppable. Just had a game with 1 nasus like that. we were a mao + GP + zed trying to get a shutdown. he got triple with his ult.
if he gets a little bit ahead your game is doomed unless you have someone who's really good at kiting and rekin tanks.
he last picked against our gp and rekt us all. with ease.
I think his low pickrate is cus he is boring af to play, not cus he's weak.
The buffs were too much. I actually ban him every game now after dealing with that a few times.
btw Garen is the same story. Ppl get BC + Yomuus on him , 1 shot the carries, and still tanky af.
Riot trying to balance the game but it feels like they have too many champs to keep it balanced the right way.
