Wither more than makes up for his lack of a dash or a blink and he can get movespeed from Black Cleaver or Trinity Force.
Seriously throw Wither on any champion without some kind of mobility and i guarantee you they would instantly be far more successful. You guys act like Wither is this weak pathetic thing when in actuality its one of the best CC spells in this game.
EndlessSorcerer4 votesIn a 1v1, Wither is great for sticking to targets.
In a teamfight where the enemy is competent at peeling and kiting? Not so much.
EffectFX3 votesWither is a form of CC, it is not a gap closer.
HandheldBrandon3 votesYou know what his CC does?
HELPS HIM CLOSE THE GAP.
Yes it is CC but its purpose is nearly identical.
EffectFX1 votesI didn't say that wasn't the case. But it's not a gap closer. You could argue that most forms of CC are a gap closer then
Cindikle1 votesGap closers help you reach the target faster. These help you bypass front lines and get you where you're going faster.
CC keeps them running. And does nothing to get you to them faster unless said CC has a MS/dash in it like Ekko's passive. These can be countered by further CC or anti-CC measures. An ADC with Scimitar will escape you.
CC =/= gap closer.
Nasus does not have a gap closer.
Adrian Umbra1 votesWither is pretty meaningless if your opponent also has some sort of CC. Or you know, a blink or a dash. Since it's not a gap closer, it's a slow...
StarMerge1 votesNasus has no gap closer.
Pupel1 votesEver tried to wither any of the following?
HandheldBrandon1 votesYou listed some of the most mobile champs in the game that even people WITH multiple gap closers struggle to capture.
HateDaddy1 votesTIL: wither gives Nasus the ability to ignore CC and front lines
HandheldBrandon1 votesTIL: Wither Gives Nasus the ability to catch up to whoever he wants and make fighting back nearly impossible for auto attack based champs or makes adcs a nonfactor in a fight.
Not too mention that stacking mechanic that makes him continue to scale when others hit a wall and can no longer facetank his damage because if it doesn't happen sooner it WILL happen later.

Wither is 600 range, meaning if Nasus walks up to wither an ADC, he just eats chain CC and dies. Not to mention cleanse exists. Mikaels exists. QSS exists. One usage of these nullifies Nasus in a teamfight.
Nasus isn't going to just walk past a front line and get to an ADC. And his scaling is overrated as shit. As a split-pusher he's ok, anything else and he dies really fast because he's chain CC'd.
The fact that you're trying to say wither suddenly gives Nasus the ability to turn off an ADC and ignore front-lines/CC and suddenly "gap-close" is laughable at best. But it makes sense that you think this way, you're gold 3 after all.
HandheldBrandon1 votesAh yes the old "your below me in rank so you clearly dont know what you are talking about kid" thing.
Am i gold 3 yes.
Before i was gold 3 i was plat 1 99 for months and i couldn't break out of plat 1. Life happens, Meneires Disease happened in mine however and i am not able to play league as much as i used to and so my skills are far below what they used to be but my understanding of the game is still as sharp as ever. As a diamond player you should know that Nasus doesn't have to bee line straight for the ADC he simply has to drop Wither on them and that is enough to let someone else bee line for them or drastically reduce their DPS due to the attack speed slow and the fact that Wither much like Exhaust tends to bork up the ADC attack animation. Also as a diamond 5 player that you are you should also know Nasus isn't usually the one to initiate but he is the one who will most likely be causing close to the most damage outside of his ADC.
Btw since you are a diamond 5 player then you should know that there are only a few carries with attack range over 600 and 3 of them have that range tied to abilities only while most of the rest sit at or below 550 attack range. You most likely also realize that fights never go perfectly as expected in every single perfectly imagined scenario that you played in your head. So that carry if they ever want to hit Nasus eventually they WILL get in that 600 range Wither which will then proceed to either let Nasus catch up to them OR force them to blow cooldowns defensively.
The concept of how Wither works is also easy to see on someone like Nunu.
Simply run up drop E on them and do anything else that needs doing the Carry will most likely back off or try and commit to fighting you in which case both decisions are wrong and add a frozen heart into the mix and a Randuins Omen and i am pretty positive that that Carry is not going to escape without blowing cooldowns like flash or their escape defensively and from observing people play and helping coach some of my friends most people tend to play far too cautious once they know they have no defensive abilities to fall back on.

Love theese type of thread makers. You counter your own statement in your opening post.
