Nasus' counterplay went out the window with this patch.

So, as a bruiser player, I'm having a rough time. Nasus with bone plating/second wind along with his lifesteal passive, is impossible to trade with. You don't do damage to him, and if you somehow take a long enough trade to go through his bone plating, he lifesteals it back and gains it all back with second wind. Also with his W, you can't trade as an auto-attacking bruiser. I might be tilted but this really makes no sense.

Edit: Also before you say it, yes I am banning it from now on.

I agree, Nasus needs a rework of sorts.

Think about it as maybe like old Cho'Gath, but without it hyper-nerfing him.

Nasus can stack, but has to go to base to lock in the stacks. If he dies before returning to base he loses his stacks. Champion stacks are instantly locked in though.

That way he can't just sit in lane and become so strong, he has to leave lane. That way he is no longer a super safe, rewarding champ.

So I say bone plating is stupidly strong then get downvoted.

So you're a bruiser player upset that a bruiser character you don't use is beating yours?

If he takes second wind he's losing out pretty massively on defenses from conditioning. Boneplating itself is popped with a single auto or spell before going on an extremely long cooldown. If you aren't making use of that 45 second cooldown and let him heal up during it, that's kind of sort of a little bit completely on you.

nasus isn't a bruiser lol, and if you're a smart nasus, if they pop bone plating you regen with second wind and sit under tower farming. i've played nasus before, im not retarded.

now the thing is, bruisers tend to build things like tri force into steraks into maw/other damage items, they dont build spirit visage, deadmans, randuins, and a tri force and outdamage everyone. that's not a bruiser, that sir is a tank. Nasus is a tank. you are stupid.

Type "Lol Bruiser" in Google. Proceed to first link which should be categories, then select juggernaut, proceed to look for Nasus.

"Tank meta"

holy pffft

Sure is a great "tank meta" when 70% of the best toplaners and junglers are bruisers.

I mean I don't agree with what he's said 100% (nor do I watch him I was just recommended the video and happened to have remembered it.)

Still Bone Plating + Second Wind is pretty busted early game. Get hit and then heal most of it back while taking reduced damage. Creating a lead is much, much harder 1 v 1.
