CaptainGil·Jan 11, 2017·3 votes·2,149 views

for the umpteenth million times this subject has been posted...can riot please do something about it...either MAX out nasus stacks..or make them fall off completely or partially upon his death...absolutely ridiculous....4,000 hp, no attack items, 2 shotting tanks....ridiculous...he can just run in carelessly 1v5 and not have a worry in the world...thought that was supposed to be a no no? need to punish the carelessness early on. make it similar to chogath stacks or Mejai's Soulstealer...something. you can stop nasus early but eventually u gotta leave lane...letting him just free stack and theres no stopping that. ...maybe im just a low ELO whiner..but dang...its crazy

No way Nasus is two shotting tanks. I've faced him as Shen multiple times. If your tank even builds just two armor items (which he should) He can easily stay alive versus Nasus. Hell it would have taken Nasus over 20 Q's (yes about 20. I factored in my taun, my W, and my ki shielding) to bring down my Shen if he didn't have damage items at all. You didn't have tanks.

nasus sucks and often loses lane to even gangplank his lategame is determined by his stacks and thats it and he gets kited to all hell any nasus who is somewhat more intelligent than his opponent always becomes a huge issue and its really annoying i hate nasus but they cant cap or make him lose stacks because of they did hed be more trash and his thematic as a demigod who was rekt by some other demigod and is gaining strength to face his foe again will be ruined

fixed that for you (im really like this fixed that for you thing recently)

All these champs do not even feel Nasus' Q's mid-late game, while being superior in teamfights.

If Nasus is ahead though and builds TF with Mortal Reminder all of them die very fast if he has 400 stacks or more. They will also die if trying to solo him but I agree that they are far more useful in team figths except Darius and Rek Sai. Rek feels way too squishy anymore and Darius has the same kite issues as Nasus.

Well, if he builds TF and Mortal Reminder and the team has no other initiator, he will melt in teamfights. Nasus is my favourite champion but, ever since early s6 arrived, his teamfighting was destroyed, even with the changed ult. His splitting has great potential but, it depends on how smart your team is to take advantage of it properly.

I was kind of assuming most teams will have someone who can actually initiate as Nasus has really has no initiation. But he can front line pretty well if the enemy doesn't have a fed Vayne or Draven. I personally prefer IBG on him overall it just feels like the better option but he can do some great damage with TF, Mortal and then straight tank after. I really wish they'd make IBG melee only and re-tune it's sheen proc to 125%.

All Adcs bring a lot of damage in the table nowdays. Not only do they have easy access to two offensive trees, thus making their ranged advantage all the more annyoing, but they can build item 3033 or item 3036 really fast with how cheap it is. So, they are not be underestimated.

As far as IBG goes, i too consider it to be the optimal sheen proc item for the doggy. It would be even better if Riot made this one AND Sterak's melee only and then buffed them. item 3025 and item 3053 make for an excellent combination.

You are not wrong but I find Vayne and Draven to be the most obnoxious when ahead. Cait too if she is really good. But generally I can manage or acquit myself well against many of the others.

I know riot likes flexible build paths but tank items on marksmen that allows them to be safe and do the same relative amount of damage is frustrating and skirts their intended weakness. How fair would it be if Nasus's E could crit with Infinity Edge? Pretty sure we see a long list of bitching. Point is that Marksmen should not be able to utilize tank items as effectively as a tank or tanky fighter seeing how's Juggernauts and tanks can't apply the benefits of marksmen items the same way.

Sterak's and IBG should indeed be melee only.

Having the patience to play Nasus in today's LoL is an art.

well consider the following nasus is a one trick pony, he uses Q then that's about it unless you go full ap which then you still are pretty much a one trick pony with your E. have you considered lane bullies? people who will (pardon my language) royally ass fuck that bitch and make him into your little bitch wiping your bloody cock on his face saying this is my lane? Darius Garen Renekton Shen Poppy are all very effective as main top laners, keeping him from farming hell they've kept me from farming as nasus more than a few times.

the problem with stack champions Nasus Thresh Veigar Bard Kindred is that they are very feast or famine. now the big underline problem is notice only 5 champions two of them are supports two are decent/not useless viable champions and then kindred.

kindred is the prime example of what not to do to a stacking champion and that is make them useless and almost unable to get stacks, veigar is the other side of the coin he can go 0-10 and end up 25-15 just from farming he gains stacks a bit to easy which considering how well he cans tack tear combined with rod morello and deathcap which is a easy 700+ ap set right there I've even got 2000 with the guy it isn't hard at all he's to easy with kindred being to hard and nasus is juust right for a simple reason, it's easy to get stacks but he's outright useless without them.

The best way to play Nasus right now almost completely ignores his stack mechanic.

champ is pretty dumb. I feel like this champ either gets carried or loses. is "allowed" is sit top stacking and eventually wins because his team won their lanes or loses the game because he just sat top stacking.
