Let's Talk Juggernauts: Nasus
If you think about it, Nasus is in a really bad spot right now compared to the other Juggernauts. However, at least he's really healthy. But, compare him to let's say, Darius. Darius has sustain in team fights, true damage, and has a powerful passive that can easily get him several kills at once, while being extremely tanky.
Nasus has very counterable things that a Juggernaut should have. He has a powerful slow, but can be countered by Mercury treads, or Mercurial Scimitar, and is easily kited, having no pull like Darius. Nasus is a sad juggernaut right now, with an extremely weak early game, (which is deserved, and is okay.), but lacking what a true juggernaut deserves.
Nasus needs a few things, to feel impactful in a team fight if he has 700 stacks, but doesn't deal a dent to a tank, and is kited by a Vayne. I feel the best change is a weaker wither, but grants speed and defense to Nasus. Meaning, withering their ADC. will siphon energy, giving Nasus speed, and durability. This makes Nasus a hell of a lot healthier since he doesn't have that powerful slow, but makes a true identity of Nasus of a siphoning doge.
Give a small slow in Nasus's spirit fire, like 15%. It doesn't feel impactful when their ADC cleanses your wither, and you sorta just disintegrate. This is a small change, and gives Nasus a great impact during team fights.
With all the tank item nerfs, and buffs to all the Juggernauts, making them crazy strong, with a small buff for compensation for the tank item nerfs, Nasus deserves the defense he once had and not make him as counterable, but make him a less in the pain in the ass to battle. Cleansing Nasus's wither should feel impactful from saving you from certain death, however making Nasus completely useless in a team fight, from a single button is NOT right.
This from a Nasus main, and what I feel is best for a Nasus player., for his balance. His wither is cancerous to battle against, but then cleansing it should not be an easy counter, and say goodbye to Nasus's prescence in a team fight. Well this was my little rant, thanks for reading. Also, have a great day, :)
