Nasus's Viability

Red Rose 0·Aug 17, 2016·2 votes·610 views

Alright so I used to love Nasus, I almost have Master 7 and have his infernal skin. Call me crazy but I absolutely love afk farming for 20 minutes, as I climbed higher in elo though I started to see flaws with him. Late game you'll get fucked even though people have this delusion of Nasus being a late game god, when their entire team is 6 items built cc will completely shut you down from reaching the back line and their fully built adc will totally shred you in a few hits whether you have 800 or 1000 stacks. So in the higher elos, is Nasus even viable? Sure you can get fed and go 4/0 in lane like I often do but unless you can somehow manage to convince your team to group and end by mid game is there a point in locking in the Q-Dogg?

Don't even bother teamfighting.

When you can't flank or cleanup, don't try to fight. Just stay back and peel if some halfway squishy target jumps in. Wait for the right engage.

Else, just splitpush and do tp plays.

Do you think Split Pushing most of the game is enough to justify even picking Nasus?

yep.

with splitpushing with tp you apply a constant pressure to your enemies.

Even when you team is losing a fight, you usually get a tower.

I've been wondering for a while what to do with my beloved Nasus, but this kind of brings me hope, thanks for replying.

Depends on the team comp. He's not a pick you can just roll with, there has to be some sort of plan, but if you have a basic plan then sure, he can do well.

i usedto play some nasus..he is not a late game champ..more like, a mid game champ and very strong if he somehow manages to snowball.

But, his late game, all you need to do i split push..nobody can 1 vs 1 a nasus..maybe vayne:P..but that's it..

Combined with nasus having one of the strongest split pushes due to 2 hitting a tower later on, creating a situation they are forced to deal with. Or withing a few seconds multiple towers can drop. Creating a great teleport advantage
