Nasus needs a nerf :\

So let me preface this by saying that I was very excited to hear about the nasus buffs that were a long time coming. I love playing as nasus, he's a fun, chill champ that you can just farm and do well with.

But there's an issue with his kit, especially after the recent trinity force buffs. The issue is that his q simply does too much damage to turrets at mid and late game.

For example, my team is grouped bot, I am bot as well from having just teleported there. We're not even there for a minute and nasus has already taken out half of my turret's health. Not to mention that my turret hadn't even taken a scratch before that.

I'm not suggesting you make major changes to nasus, I'm not suggesting you nerf his kit to the point of not being meta anymore. But I am suggesting that you either take away his ability to q turrets, inhibitors and the nexus; or make it so if he should ever q an objective that is not a monster, that it does half or one fourth of it's total damage.

Nasus's ability to stack up his Q by farming and being a threat via split pushing or roaming from the jungle is probably one of the reasons he is so popular. Personally, I feel if you nerf his damage to structures then you severely limit his usage in the game outside of tanking in teamfights and dropping wither on people. You might as well say that you should nerf any assassin champion because they can quickly whittle down the health of an enemy champion.

NASUS WAY TO OP, PLAYING JAX TOP HE CAN LITERALLY JUST SIT BACK OUT OF FIGHT USING HIS Q, TAKING HALF YOUR HEALTH EACH TIME AND DOMINATE YOU AT LVL 7 AND IF YOU GO IN AND ATTACK HE CAN JUST SLOW U AND RUN AWAY OR DISH OUT DAMAGE AND Q U AGAIN TO KILL YOU EVERYTIME. SERIOUSLY THERE'S NO COUNTER ONLY ONE WAY I COULD KILL HIM WAS BY USING EXHAUST AND 3 MAN GANKING HIM YES 3 MAN BECAUSE HIS Q CAN HIT ALL OF U AT ONCE TAKING HALF TO QUARTER OF YOUR HEALTH SO THAT HE CAN ULT AND FINISH U OFF IF THERE'S ONLY TWO OF YOU SO PLZ NERF HIM WAY TO STRONG FOR A LATE GAME CHAMP AND NOW HES THE NEW WARWICK IN MY OPINION.

PS BUFF JAX MANA RUNS OUT WAY TO QUICK!!Jax Nasus

I think that if Nasus just has his slow nerfed and maybe a small lessen to the q damage than he would be more easily dealt with in lane and maybe even in late game. I feel his slow just makes it almost impossible to escape since it puts people almost at a complete stop. and with cooldown reduction it takes a very short time for the slow to come back up.
