OK there's two reasons why item 3025 is terrible on Nasus.

Makes it harder to farm stacks
Completely unneeded - with 40% CDR your W will be slowing people almost constantly, it's really easy to stick to people already.

The reason you build full-tank on Nasus is because if you've farmed enough stacks then you will apply more damage to the enemy by staying alive via tank than you would by having more upfront damage. You're already hitting them for 1000 damage every 2.4 seconds and that's ignoring your E/R damage.

i couldn't stay afk in top lane

Who says you need to stay afk in top lane? You have teleport, as long as you're farming efficiently you have a chance to demolish the enemy team every 4-5 minutes.

If you want a high damage build on Nasus, the only real option is full-AP Nasus (Morello's, Ionian Boots, Liandry's, Deathcap, Zhonya's, Void Staff).

At the end of the day, though, why pick Nasus if you want a higher early game impact? Pick something with instant level 6 impact like Malphite, Wukong or Hecarim.

Cool story, Goldilocks. Why don't you take the time to present an argument rather than calling people names?

Not that I'm agreeing with the guy you responded to, but I just think it's funny that you accused him of calling you a name when he didn't, then you went ahead and called him one.

Ollie out.

when he didn't

Being called "bad" is a label, and offensive labeling is a form of name calling. That's what "name calling" refers to - if you look it up in any dictionary you'll see phrases such as "you are worthless" and "you're an ass hat" given as common examples of name calling. It's understandable that you misunderstood because the definition of name calling isn't completely intuitive.

What he really committed was a logically fallacious "argumentum ad hominem" but I didn't want to get into that since the terminology really isn't that important. If you're interested, my "Goldilocks" retort was actually a logically sound ad hominem as I was responding to his "bad" insult by showing that he is in fact a worse player than me based on rank - i.e. it was a more appropriate response than his. Perhaps I could have been more polite, but I didn't care to since he'd been rude to me.

well by golly, an OCE player thats two tiers above my elo. Might as well bow down..

StratSep 23, 20151 votes

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but FYI I was Gold 1 when I transferred from NA a couple years ago, and I've improved since then. Tiers are mostly calculated percentage wise anyway meaning that ranks are approximately equivalent across servers until you get to high Diamond. I actually initially dropped a couple divisions after the transfer, implying that the standard of play in high Gold OCE Elo may actually be higher than high Gold NA Elo, but I may have just been unlucky.

no no thats a stupid response

i was once like you

item 3078 IS THE ONLY THING, HAIL TRI

then i tried item 3025 i am a good nasus stacker, so i have enough stacks for this to work.. + i wont get infintly kited, do you know how many Vayne i have successfully killed with this thing now?

StratSep 23, 20151 votes

item 3025 pushes the lane when you don't want to do so (if you want to push at any point, E is sufficient), lowers the health of the entire wave such that it's physically impossible to stack more than 3 or so minions per wave on average (when you should really be getting 4-5 if not 6) and it doesn't even stack with your W (meaning 90% of the time it won't even slow her).

You want to know what DOES synergize with wither and help you catch the enemy? item 3078 and it's +60 movement speed. YOU WILL CATCH THE ENEMY FASTER WITH A and CDR THAN YOU WILL WITH item 3025

You want to know what items kill Vayne ? item 3110 + item 3075 . slows her AA speed and provides CDR to give more Q stacking/damage AND near-constant W usage. means she'll half-kill herself just from attacking you.

tl;dr: item 3025 DOES NOT STACK WITH WITHER, item 3078 DOES. I've been playing the game for 4 times as long as you and I'm 2 tiers above your normals Elo, do you really think I wouldn't be telling you these things if I didn't know better?

If you want to carry get a godamn triforce. Frozen Fist is much better for utility and tackiness. BC is just bad on nasus, you have a hard time applying the stacks.
