Jax E vs. Nasus

Vahn65·Oct 13, 2014·1 votes·996 views

Ok so i was in a game playing jax against nasus and something weird happened and i was wondering if somebody could explain.

Jax's E dodges basic attacks

Nasus's Q is a powered up basic attack

how does his Q hit through Jax's E?

also why do stuns only work about half of the time lately? are they glitched at the moment? iv noticed this a lot lately that stuns dont work.

Nasus' Q is actually an ability that uses the auto attack animation, it is not an auto attack buff. Jax's Q is an auto attack buff. That is why dodges and blinds do not stop it.

I thought bout that but then why does fioras parrie block nasus q?

^ this

its like his Q is blocked as a normal AA for some and its used as an ability for others.

The text for Nasus' Q states: "Nasus's next basic attack will deal 30/50/70/90/110 (+1*AD) (+0) physical damage." It's an Auto-attack reset skill, like Jax's W (which I assume is the skill you meant), Poppy's Q, etc.

As a note, Teemo is considered to counter Nasus in part because of his blind allowing him to prevent (or reduce) Nasus' ability to Q-farm effectively, because blinds do cause the empowered attack to not land.

And @OP: I'm so glad I'm not the only person who noticed stuns aren't... well... stunning.

ya its been happening often with the stunning. went an entire game with only 2 stuns on renektons. reason i think it may be glitched is because its not consistent. it works sometimes but only sometimes.

Yeah, I did a few games as Annie last night and noticed that. Missed out on a couple kills because of it, actually. The weird one was when I stun-beared 3 or 4 people, and half them would actually be stunned, and the other(s) would just walk away with a giant chunk of health missing. Was so weird.

It is like Leona's Q, uses her auto attack animation, acts like an AA, but is an ability. I have had this debate in my group of friends a lot too.

<shrug> Then they should change the tooltip. Or change the way it interacts with other skills. Blind prevents it from connecting. So does Fiora's Parry. Sivir's spell-shield doesn't stop it.

Honestly, I don't much care how it works, so long as it's consistent. If it's going through Jax's E, then it's inconsistent with other abilities that ostensibly function the same way.
