Nasus W Feels like a Pain when that Q is on 1-2 seconds - You basically can't move

When nasus slows you with W he can just run to you and hit you 5 times untill you die because his cooldown on his Q is like 1-2- That W slows you forever*[zombie-brand-mindblown]* . In my opinion this ability needs nerf [W]

Its strange to see a mid to late game powerhouse being so strong in a early game snowball meta...

Yes and it’s annoying as all hell because the reason why he wasn’t receiving buffs/nerfs night th first place was due to his OP annoying af w

I've said this for years. His w is currently a slow that lasts 5 seconds and slows up to 95% at max rank, not including the attack speed slow as well. In MY OPINION, they should change it completely from an attack speed / move speed slow to a drastically shorter stun. Make the stun last .5 sec up to 1.25 at max rank or something. His current w is PURE CANCER and needs a change.

Suggestion;reduce the duration,rrduce the max.slow,but make it a "Grounded" ability. Now,he can shit on Riven or any other mobile champion a bit more.

Have you tried any of the following champion matchups:

Olaf Teemo Rumble Pantheon Ryze Darius

Nasus is a farming champ. His Q depends on it. So, prevent him from farming and you should offset most of his damage. Also, try to avoid a fight with him in his Spirit Fire or while his ultimate is active.

For his Wither, which seems to be your main concern, how about using cleanse or buying a Quicksilver Sash to get rid of his Wither? I'm not saying to rush Quicksilver Sash, however, it could help.

His wither last forever btw pogchamp. He needs tweaking because of the new runes.

Here I am playing support....olaf? even if you play those champs olaf is the only one who can really solve the problem and that's only when his ult is up, unless you could keeping a huge area around nas and he's just gonna end up zoning you out

None of those champions counters Nasus in his current state. Teemo, Panth and Darius are pretty even matchups (between 50 and 49 winrate for Nasus) and the rest get royally rekt (between 53 and 57 winrate for Nasus).

He is pretty close to broken. Stacks used to matter a lot, but now when he can throw up to 15 Qs during his ult and he can shit on tanks if he can't reach the backline, he barely has any counterplay.

There are a lot of champs that can beat him, but most take an unusual amount of practice. Basically the one tricks can handle Nasus no problem, and the average folk have trouble.

Just ban him. I always ban Nasus or Vayne. Nobody got time for that bullshit.

Also: item 3222 if you're support.

Both of Them and other champions need Tweaking because of the big thing (Rune Changes) I hope they get properly optimized for the next season :)

Nasus is one of those champs that requires the enemy to win fast or lose badly.

He requires camping to help slow his progress and then he requires 3+ enemies to tag team him in mid game.

Then late game hits and going tag team on him is no longer effective unless two of your allies have CC on low cooldown.

He requires constant attention and derails whatever strategy you might have had for securing other objectives because the game suddenly devolves into, focus the goddamn tank.

Yeah, I hate Nasus!

I think when he max his w he gets 99% slow but im not really sure about that if not correct me. I think i saw that when i was playing Urf and i was trying AP Nasus and i only maxed E and W

Gosh... downvoting for throwing up suggestions I read somewhere. It's better than not offering any tips at all. Eeek, cry me a river. [cass-cry]

He needs the slow. It's his only way of sticking to his target since he has no gap closers and no ms boosts.

His W doesn't need the nerf. It's to help him with his most glaring weakness: being kited . It doesn't matter if you have 1k stacks if you can't reach your target.

Having such an on demend easy to apply ability is that completley covers your weakness should not be a thing. That's like saying Xayah's weakness is no mobility, so her ult is now her W.

The slow is pretty much a snare and and attack speed slow that lasts too long. Nasus is already a very binary champ that avoids interaction until he breaking point, no other juggernaut can cover his weakness that reliably well.

Yes! :)

He needs that slow but that slow is too much. That W can be optimized because of the new runes he can use his Q very fast. They can tweak it a little bit. It will make small window for the enemy to survive because its very hard to escape his W even if you flash he still can get to you by walking

It is really weird they didnt nerf his W when they gave his ult that huge buff.
