Dear Riot, Nasus passive needs to be changed aka no lifesteal/ sustain.

In your attempts to make Nasus an early game weakling and lategame powerhouse there lies one problem: his passive. It is beyond annoying the amount of sustain he has with this. I request you guys consider giving him a different passive altogether and dont let it be anything related to sustain. I have played easily 500+ games as Nasus and 300+ games against him top and i will tell you right now that unless it is a good riven, rumble, or vlad he will be able to have a pretty easy time staying in lane. It is not fun when he becomes a tanky powerhouse and mowing over your team unless you can cc him to death leaving the rest of his team probably worry free because you have to blow almost everything on nasus before he dies. It would be nice to be able to harass him out of lane easier and by doing so keeping him from q farming as efficiently and to do this his passive should be at the very least nerfed to 0% till lvl 7, 5% till lvl 13, 10% lvl 13 onward. Or just remove it altogether. Seriously I am sure if you ask more fellow summoners how out of hand most nasus' Q farm can get by 30 minutes it will be scary. I play Nasus a lot and I could not be more serious when I say his lane phase is too easy.

You only need a ranged top to make Nasus hang himself.

He doesn't really have a passive until he is quite a few stacks in, or when he first got his sheen.

It needs to be a lot weaker in the early-mid levels. Between the way he can just stack resistances and the sustain he gets its really tough to push him out.

A really douche tactic is take blue Ez top and spam Q while laughing at him all game.

Being an oppressive Top Lane or getting a Sunfire Cape can really block Nasus out of lane so Renekton Rumble Trundle Teemo and such really kill Nasus.

The fact you consider Vlad as beating Nasus tells me you don't know anything. Nasus gets his Spectre's Cowl and can literally ignore Vlad then (and bonus points since a lot of Vlad's damage is E, which hard pushes the lane, which is good for Nasus).

I'm going to ask this not to troll but out of genuine curiosity. Everyone says pick ranged or name specific champs to counter Nasus but the only one or two I can think of that would be useful are the devil and Quinn. Both have blind but devil has point and click blind. Any other champ will shove him to tower and then he'll just last hit with Q or soul fire (?) until he gets a few levels then Q farm under tower. Short of spending the entire game tower diving, crushing top hard and blinding him there is no real way to stop his farm. You can slow it down but if the game goes long enough he will still end up with stupid stacks. There is nearly always a lane that's empty with minions pushing and he'll go to farm it while your team is pushing elsewhere. Go to shut him down? He just runs away unless he has enough stacks to WITHERRRRRRRRRR and Q you to death.

How do you play against him? A few of you are very confident of how to do it but I don't want vague "pick X champ!" I want very specific play styles since he will, as I said, eventually just farm up or run away. Shove too hard and you're a free gank. Yes, counter gank would be great but most solo games have nowhere near enough comms for such things.

Please, then he'll be even harder to lane with.

Or i would settle with a nerf to his Q that it would cost 40 mana at all ranks. Really before they buffed his Q mana cost to 20 he was somewhat tolerable but right now his 20 mana cost is just too lenient.
