I'm rusty as fuck and haven't bothered to learn the new runes at all other than to run kleptomancy on nasus and lemme tell you, that shit's op.
I completely fucked up my early game, had shit stacks and still somehow managed to do well.
Actually klepto just got nerfed today.
Lol. Lanes against an AP Varus. Claims Nasus is op. Next time I'm laning against AP Talon as AD Soraka I will claim that she's op too.

Could just be the AP Varus didn't do well?
nasus isn't op his winrate dropped 6% with the klepto and coin nerf he will be fine I've even stated many times that the combo of those 2 gave him his powerspike 7 minutes earlier than it usually should which actually made him pop off
Nasus isn't OP, it's just that this game is way more about counterpicks than ever(like DotA 2 but it's worse here because Riot has significantly reduced the amount of exploitable weaknesses in most champs). So if you're not picking champs like Gangplank or Cassiopeia or Illaoi that can just zone him out of XP range, he's going to free farm and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it because he can just ignore you with cowl/tabis/thornmail while stacking and life stealing with 45% CDR. Ironically right now with the way the game is played goes completely against what Riot said in the past to bash Dota, you can auto lose the game just because your team comp is terrible compared to theirs provided everyone is playing at an equal skill level.
we know, they know. everyone knows.....
yet it wont be addressed for about 6 months.. so keep holding your breathe it might be changed
Nasus is insane when he's fed. Played a game as Maokai jungle, had a Nasus top against us. He was about 4/1/2 with maybe 30 cs lead and destroyed me and our top lane Tryn. I wasn't that surprised, I'm pretty awful right now.
Later that game, he was much more fed, and 3 levels above us and literally 1v5 tanked the entire team. He had 600 armour, 430 mr, healed over 200hp a Q. He tanked three of us for literally two minutes before finally killing all three of us.
He's a goddamn monster when he's fed, more so than anyone I've ever seen before!
Yet pro players say he's weaker that we're making him out to be
It's the combination of klepto. But also how tanks are hurt least by losing flat rune resistances with their dmg being proportionately buffed. And last season's Nasus buffs. Meanwhile normal fighters that have to build more like carries initially couldn't survive without a lot of outplay.
He also always has that stupid E max option that is less mana gated now with things like klepto/biscuits and lower time to kill mainly.
