What about a cap on NASUS' stacks?

Simply put, the lack of a cap to his stacks is subnormally idiotic, because literally with no skill, allows it to two shot a late game enemy champion that required even the slightest bit of skill to play. I've seen good teams and good players get destroyed by his capless q bullshit, just because "they didn't prevent him from farming". Well guess what, at some point he'll have 300 stacks and his stupidly hard slow, regardless of how good anybody is at preventing him from farming.

The laning phase now ends long before he becomes any semblance of a threat, regardless of how well he did in lane. Group up and push mid. If his team is able to hold off a 4v5, you aren't going to win regardless of who that team's fifth member is.

You're gonna get auto-downvoted by others but I dont see why any champion (I'm looking at you too Veigar) should benefit from farming (one of the most basic mechanics) more than others and even if this mechanic should remain the same it NEEDS to be regulated.

A champion shouldn't be rewarded for sitting there in lane and stacking a passive/ability nor should they be punished for NOT stacking.

Because, y'know, it's not like you can kite him or peel him off you or an important target before the 1000 stack Nasus can get a hit in. Yes, champs like Nasus, Veigar, and Sion do scale infinitely, but this is in exchange for having other easily exploited weaknesses which hinder them from being in high level play often such as immobility, inability to deal with being kited, and crap-mediocre early games.

Bad Nasus' stack to eternity, good nasus make plays after a while. It's fine.

End the game early? Win your other lanes?

I can only agree with this post, as a Nasus player. Triforce plus about 80 stacks can two-shot any champion that isn't building straight armor.

If Nasus doesn't have at least 350 by around 20 minutes then you've at least done something to stop him from becoming a monster. This means that he is weaker than he should be. But if you then SOMEHOW die to sub-par stacks, then it is your fault. Dying to Nasus' wet noodle is something you do to yourself. I've even killed plenty of players with terrible stacks at 30+ minutes because they acted dumb. Just remember that if you're having a bad time facing a low-stack Nasus, don't imagine what it'd be like if you were against a Darius.

If Riot put a hard cap on his stacks, he's not going to be a champion at all because all of the other Juggernauts would shit on Nasus all game instead of just early. Nasus is supposed to outscale; that is his job as the posterchild of lategame fantasy. If Riot put a cap on him they'd need to buff him out the ass as a midgame champion.

there is actually a cap at 9999 for nasus's q stacks.

Nops, haters gonna hate, time for you to learn not to let him farm his q

just try to take advantage of the fact that its pretty much a 4v5 for the first like 10 or 15 minutes of the game because all nasus can do is stack. in this fast meta nasus is borderline a dead champion

Well guess what?

Git gud, scrublord.

Most nasus players cant even get a decent amount of stacks in a short time to make a cap matter
