Nasus rework

5050BS··1 votes·5,002 views

So Nasus will need a rework at some point. After playing him top for a week there were some games that were just stupid. Like 2k+ damage on a Q stupid

Got me thinking of ways to keep Nasus like Nasus but also make him more reasonable late game because you know balance.

So this idea centers around his stacks and would be added to his passive.

Passive: Killing minions gives Nasus 1 stack, killing Cannon minion or Large Jungle Mobs gives Nasus 3 Stacks Killing a Champ gives 5 stacks. Stacks Max out at 20 stacks @0 Stacks +5% Life Steal @5 Stacks +10 Life Stael @10 Stacks + 15% Life Steal @15 Stacks + 20% Life Steal @20 Stacks + 25% Life Steal

Q: Nasus next basic attack gains bonus X and bonus damage based on the number of stacks he has. @5 Stacks basic does +50% bonus damage @10 Stacks basic does +100% bonus damage @15 Stacks basic does + 150% bonus damage @20 Stacks basic does true damage Attacks on Champions consumes 3 stacks

W: Nasus slows a champion for 4s (% is base and scales up with rank to max at 95%) @5 Stacks slow is 20% to movement @10 Stacks slow is 40% to movement and 20% to attack speed @15 Stacks slow is 80% to movement and 40% to attack speed @20 Stacks Champion is stunned for 1.5s then slowed 80% to movement and 40% to attack speed for 2.5s

E: Nasus Blasts an area doing X damage and X damage over time @5 Stacks Lowers Armor and MR by 20 @10 Stacks Lowers Armor and MR by 30 @15 Stacks Lowers Armor and MR by 30 and targets do 5% less damage @20 Stacks Lowers Armor and MR by 30 and targets do 10% less damage

R: For 15s Nasus gains X HP and does X% of targets max HP as damage and consumes all his stacks and then gains Max stacks. He gains bonuses based on how many stacks where consumed @5 Stacks +50 extra HP, +10 Armor and MR @10 Stacks +100 extra HP, +15 Armor and MR @15 Stacks +200 extra HP, +15 Armor and MR, +1% extra max HP damage @20 Stacks +300 extra HP, +15 Armor and MR, +2% extra max HP damage, +5 extra seconds duration to ult.

This way he does not 1) stay top lane all game lone, 2) Does not infinitely scale to complete unbalancedness, 3) Still wants to gain stacks but it is about managing your stacks.

What do you think?

No just no. Nasus is the base line for all other juggernauts. You are proposing to turn him into and crit building fighter/assassin hybrid. I've mained Nasus since I started playing League and he is honestly one of the most honest champions to play. I never feel like I am gifted a win and that I earned it by playing to the strengths of his kit. Not every champion needs to be a team fight oriented early trading damage dealer. Nasus fits a very small but defined space in the champion pool. Let's not ruin that.

Necropost!!!! LOL! Man this was forever ago but it is still true. Nasus is currently sitting at a 45% win rate and 2.5 % pick rate so if anything he is super under powered atm.

The only way Nasus does that much damage with his Q is by farming for the stacks...just like Veigar with his Q.

You prevent him from getting them and you pretty much shut him down because of it.

Get rid of infinite scaling = get rid of Nasus identity.

PS : If you think Nasus is too strong lategame, you really need to learn the game

You give him true damage LITERALLY after 3 minion waves People would demolish towers FASTER Build him tank, play passive and crush towers while building pure ad tank items

Towers would consume a stack for each Q

The idea is to get one power attack off then back to farm if you want it again. Also those bonus are only to the Q attack not to all his basics.

That was what all my games where with. item 3508 got me to 45% with 20% crit and extra mana on hit.

And now imagine going PURE ad, and getting 150% bonus damage.

Its a smart idea, but not on nasus

First allow me to say that's stupid no your are just going to destroy Nasus STOP TRYING TO REWORK EVERY F*** CHAMP!!!!!! NASUS IS PERFECT THE WAY HE IS!!!!! I think i speak for all Nasus mains that we don't want any true damage he doesn't need it.. rito!!! stop ruing this game for us Nasus's Q is his Identity take that away then you take away Nasus.. SERIOUSLY STOP TRYING TO REWORK NASUS THERE HAS BEEN 3 POST ABOUT WANTING TO REWORK HIM WE DON'T WANT TO A REWORK!!!!!! STOP WITH THESE STUPID NASUS REWORK POST AND STOP TRYING TO THINK OF STUPID WAYS TO RUIN NASUS AND OTHER CHAMPS!!!!! what everyone working for rito is mentally retarded???? if people who pick Nasus stay top lane all game that's because they don't know how to play him how and how to farm with him Nasus is one of the few champs that's well rounded and is great for team fights.

lets talk about the last 3 points you made:

  1. stay top lane all game lone- if you know how to play Nasus or main him then you really don't stay top lane all game like you said only players who don't play know how to play him stay top lane... if you don't hit 300 - 400 stacks within 20min then your a noob and should not play him or go to custom and practice that's no reason to change Nasus or even take away his Q which is Nasus.
  2. Does not infinitely scale to complete unbalancedness- even if you have 1000 stacks as Nasus you can still get shut down by a lot of late game champs like vayne who deals true damage and many others with CC so that's no excuse for you to take away his Q which again his identity if your going to take that away the take away Sion permanently increasing his health form killing minions and assists so don't take away his infinite Q.. honestly how many players can you say reached 1000 stacks or more on Nasus???? so leave his Q as it is......
  3. Still wants to gain stacks but it is about managing your stacks- this concept of him trying to manage it is stupid if he uses it up that would make him annoying to play this change is literally stupid!!! stop trying to change everything not all champs need a rework or needs to be changed so STOP WITH THESE STUPID CHANGES!!! LEAVE NASUS ALONE!!!!!!!!!

Nasus is actually fine but if you just let him farm his q for course he will do a lot of damage

Solaris Ventara1 votes

the problem with that, there's realy no way to STOP him from farming his Q. if they'd at least make it so it stacked off champ kills only, that would be fine, but the fact he can stack it from, champions, monsters, and minions, means hes gonna get stacks no matter what you do.
