My only issue with nasus,

Marshbouy·Jul 17, 2016·2 votes·521 views

Disclaimer, he is not op at all Is that he feels like a ball of stats.

passive, stats, uninteractive and just lifesteal scaling with level

Q, stacking damage.

w stat reduction

E damage and stat reduction. This is the one ability i like on him since it makes nasus fight around the zone so he can get the reduced armor bonus

R stat buff.

He needs a touchup or a rework. Playing as him is fairly boring, playing against him is cancerous. As a mastery 5 nasus with some experience on the champ, the only reason why i quit playing him was the sheer boredom of him. I'd like RIOT to make him more fun and interesting, im not a creative guy so i don't know how.

As a Nasus Main with over 400K Mastery Points on him I can safely say he is not a boring champ to play as or against. He fulfills a very different game play niche in that he is a passive farmer who scales well into mid and late game. Just b/c he is not constantly trading doesn't make him boring it makes him unique champion among almost 90% of all other champs in the game who are about early trading.

This is a tired argument from many non-Nasus mains or Nasus haters. If you think he is boring play a different champion but don't ask for changes a champion who is essentially the epitome of balanced.

OK cool. that doesn't make him less boring as fuck to most of the people in the game, it doesn't help your teamt o afk farm all game.

No it is a legitimate argument. He is but a ball of stats. He is not the epitome of balance. he sucks ass to play against.

epitome of balance now would be a maokai or a xerath.

This is just opinion vs opinion but even riot believes he is one of the most balanced champion in league and that is saying something. Most true Nasus mains don't find him boring and feel his game play is rewarding and uncomplicated. He is only frustrating to play against if you have absolutely no idea how to play against him like any champion in the game... I am sorry but any of these points could be applied to a myriad of champions and many with far more toxic game play or kits that are overloaded.

How is his ball of stats different from any other champions "ball" of stats? His whole kit is balanced around him doing damage with Q. Wither allows him to get in range and deal damage, Spirit Fire allows him to shred armor to do damage against tanky top lanes like himself and his Ult allows him to duel, survive dives early and survive team fights later. This IS balanced he has one source of damage and it all in melee range. This ensures ranged counter play and kiting to be effective against his damage.

Lastly, if you afk farm, or think you should only afk farm, with Nasus all game you are not playing to his strength by denying your team significant damage and objective control with his presence and deserve to lose the game by being selfish and not being adaptive.

Play him AP, that's what I do. It's more fun because the high mana cost of his E means you have to pick the right moments to use it for maximum effect. I don't even take Q until level 9 or 10, he's much more fun that way. :D

(Level 6 mastery and still not bored of him playing this way.)

AP Nasus is best at support because his poke is immense against a squishy lane, and the E interacts well with an ADC. But I've had success top and even mid with AP Nasus. A bit trickier to pull off mid, and most tricky top.
