Not enough mana for a full rotation? just q a minion!

That is to say, AP Nasus OP

But can it crit?

Nasus will also sacrifice tankiness for it.

True, but he also gets another 10% lifesteal.

A fed susan doesn't need lifesteal. 19.5% with runes at level 16 is enough.

He just needs enough tankiness to go in 1v5 and q chunk people until his team cleans up. Then while he revives, team gets inhib.

While suboptimal imo, I can see some CRAZY hybrid builds for the doge

Also this might make spamming spirit fire viable.

Off topic, what is it with the # of thread downvotes without a single comment which I am seeing?

Ah, I can't believe I forgot about Susan, the Curator of the Sands. Indeed, she's such an underrated champion, that I don't even think people play her in customs.

Anyway, I think the real reason for the down votes is that this thread doesn't relate to "Live Gameplay", seeing as it is discussing an item currently on the Public Beta Environment. The Place for discussion of unreleased items should remain there, or in the thread where it was announced.

Also, from my experience with Kassadin's W active, 8% of missing Mana isn't all that much. Sure, Kassadin can more easily burn through all of his Mana than Nasus or Susan, but Nasus would probably feel exactly the same as he does on live.

I think you undervalue the ability to not die.

That extra life-steal won't help if he's being kited back, and if he already sacrificed tankiness, he will be too weak to engage. This is a major disadvantage.
