Just spent half of last game farming top lane with a Nasus, while I couldn't stop him from getting stacks, he wasn't even a threat, even with 214 CS or 642 stacks. This was partly because our team was ahead in kills, so all we had to do with kill everyone else and focus him once it was done. I'm starting to regret the 1350 IP I spent on his purchase, 5 months ago.
"My 500 stacks were for nothing."

doodlebob6662 votesnasus's problem is that he is vulnerable to kiting and takes too long to get going, he can only survive until late game if your team is strong enough to carry him there, but he doesn't provide enough then to actually be able to carry, he has a power point mid game before resistance's, life steal, and penetration come through on carries but since he takes so long to get going he can ussually never use that, at this point he is the biggest example of a win more champ, except he doesn't even help with that much
Crett2 votesi think it's a result of durability being kinda weak, too. the "raid boss" fantasy isnt really supported by his playstyle well because he isn't actually that tanky
optimally he just splitpushes, and due to his 1v1 power you usually need at least two champs to deal with him if he's split pushing and his team wins a fight w/o him the map pressure will just snowball his team immensely which i agree is dumb because it's waaaay too macro for being the one thing he's good at.
Swiftstrike42 votesIf Nasus does NOT rotate around the map and help his team at specific points in the game then he is not a very good Nasus. It is easy to stack and rotate and use TP. Most Nasus players don't do that.
Starcraft243ver1 votesNasus his too easily kitted by all the mobility and cc champs we have now. Plus all the true damages available. I mained him in s5 but now : rip.
