FIX NASUS PLEASE, MAKE HIM WEAKER EARLY TO MAKE UP FOR HIS UNHOLY LATE GAME!

Nasus needs to be reworked he is too strong and even counters like teemo and kennen can't hold him down. Three thoughts, A) redo his passive or B) set a stack limit/ make his early Q damage much less to emphasize his "weak" early game. C) take away any damage from his E.

A) His lifesteal passive is so strong once he builds a first item spirit visage which nulls any and all counters like kennen and teemo so there isn't even a poke him down stage. His passive allows him to win any trade and because he can heal it all back with one overpowered Q. Either lower the amount of lifesteal or possibly make it scale so his early game "weakness" is more apparent.

B) Or you can rework his Q to make it either a 500 level stack limit or make it do under 50 damage early levels to make his early game harder and possibly give early game teamcomps a chance. The fact that Nasus can still out-trade level 1-5 with one Q and a wither to only let you get one AA off which wont do as much cause you don't have a broken Q ability.

C) As if the fact that he has a massive AA in melee range from his Q isn't enough, he has ranged AOE DOT which takes up almost the whole lane and can zone you off if you aren't 4000+ health. This lends to making him broken because even if you are ranged and trying to counter him he just max's E and his level 1 Q is so strong to make it fine that he can keep you away from your minions with ranged AOE DOT damage. The armor shred makes it worse but if you made it where the E didn't do damage like a trundle frozen domain and it still has the armor shred but no damage it would be better to give a possibility to zone him somewhat.

In closing, Nasus is so strong with his early game Q damage being high enough to win any early fight if it isn't 1v5, with his ranged AOE DOT + armor shred, then you add a lifesteal passive and its over you have a champ that is broken the whole way through the game. I dont mind a strong late game if their early game is really weak. Kog'Maw being the perfect embodiment of this balance. Fragile and weak early and strongest champ ever late game. If Nasus was anywhere near as weak in the early game I would be all for his late game damage. The fact that he is so strong all game and you can build anything on him it doesnt matter and you are still a God all game makes him just a broken as Master Yi Udyr or any trinity force using champ. Its these blatantly overpowered champs that make me not want to play at all but I love the game.

PLEASE NERF NASUS!!!!

You obviously don't play Nasus...

Kennen isn't a counter to Nasus, and hasn't ever been one. Teemo does great against Nasus, and by the time he builds Spirit Visage, even if rushed, you should have already pushed his tower down. Teemo is a lane bully, bully him, and he won't be a late game threat.

The only real threat is when he free farms, and that doesn't happen unless you just leave him alone.

Your drunk do give em any ideas, pick a Vladimir and win 80% of the time, i have never lost a game when i vlad against nasus, ban him if you are going to pick a champion that gets countered by him that's all. Nasus can be very weak against some champions in the early game, nerfing his early game will only make him unplayable

His early is already weak as hell without going straight into the garbage zone.

Pick almost any ranged against him, he will hang himself on cam for you.

Pick early champs and rush his face.

Or simply, get your jungler up top 2 times, then he is gone for the rest of the game for good.

you are still a God all game makes him just a broken as Master Yi Udyr or any trinity force using champ

hahahahaha wot, First Yi and Udyr are no longer broken, since S4 has already passed. And Yi 95% of the time, never touches trinity force unless the game should have already ended 20 minute ago and still going, and he is too bored so he picks up the item to try.

I just feel he should have a Q cap. Destroy his turret and go join in teamfight? He's now free farming and within ten minutes he'll be 2 shotting turrets.

Also just as annoying If he's on your team. Enemy team grouping to push mid down? Can't count on Nasus to group so you are stuck in a 4v5

Go play Nasus.

There is a reason he is considered trash-tier. It's because no one promised you late game, and his early game cannot be described as anything other that pure sh!t. Only champ with a worse early game is Poppy, and she doesn't have to play farmville for 30 straight minutes in order to get to her god-like late game.

Go play Nasus right now. Miserable early game (100% chance of losing lane if your opponent plays aggressive) and you are Q farming all of mid game so your team is fighting a 4v5. In the games where you don't reach late game, you feel like sh!t because you know that it's your fault that your team lost.

Against nasus i just pick fiora and then rush early so i can hit 6 before him... then dive him. Pretty simple really... I also harass heavily every time he goes to last hit so that by the time i hit 6 he is at low health and i can just q e w q r
