Riot, I have Mastery 7 Nasus, and let me tell you...

... buffing him was a mistake. I know you're fond of Old Yeller, but its time to put that rabid doge down.

Like, seriously, half cooldown time on his Q during his ult?

Nasus is already my go to pick when I want to play League and Stardew Valley in the same window. But I guess instead of killing turrets in ten seconds he needed to do it in five, right? Because of all those Mobility Boot, triple Cloud Drake, Elder Dragon-ed teams who keep chasing him down and killing him if he doesn't kill the turret faster than a backing animation.

And don't tell me that changing his E from flat armor shred to percent armor shred "nerfed him against squishies".

I mean, it did. But in the same way that I'd rather be bludgeoned with a sack of frozen potatoes than a sack of bricks. Sure, I'm slightly more likely to survive, but its still probably the worst day of the week.

On the other hand, if you're playing as a tank or a bruiser, Nasus basically sticks a bowling ball on the end of his stat stick and gives his ADCs hollow points instead of their standard rounds, because with only three ranks in Spirit Fire, he's already taken away more of your armor than max Black Cleaver stacks can do. Hell, at five ranks in Spirit Fire, if you're standing in it his entire team get's a free Last Whisper worth of armor penetration against you. It makes a six item Malphite about as hard a target as a fat guy in his birthday suit.

Seriously, the pup is starting to wander, time to neuter him.

nasus got stronger, which was intended. he still has the same weaknesses. I dont know how playing billions of hours on nasus proves this wrong

The last time OP played Nasus in ranked was season5 with only 5 games played

In his recent normal history he has only 4 games played on Nasus, which is ranked 14 in most played for him.

OP is a giant fraud; even if he does have mastery 7 it was at least mostly earned when the meta was different.

Nothing should be ever buffed to the point that it's ban/picked. It's just stupid, hell if im not the first 3 picks(like 1st pick blue side and 1st and 2nd pick red side), i wouldnt even want zac/nasus/cho/draven/darius/yasuo/kayn(kayn and yasuo are purely cause of trust issues)/zed/kat/leblanc/urgot through

after I quit and came back a year later I was sad to find out that Cho' Gath was perma banned, sure im glad that my main was OP, I can never play them, and if I get the chance to, I am met with camping, 5v1s and cho gaths new E which I understand is better combat wise but that extra farming damage, wave clear, and push ability is garbo.
