Susan's (Nasus) heavy Q reliance. [an unhealthy kit]

I disagree. Nasus is a shephard and currently he fulfills that fantasy perfectly. He herds / farms sheep (ie farm minions with q). His playstyle is very zen and relaxing. He is one of the chillest champs to play.

I honestly think he is perfect the way he is atm. What changes in specific are you looking for? In my opinion he is in a great/ healthy spot.

He is VERY weak early and gets fucked up by almost everyone. And if he wants to just chill and farm all game he becomes strong.

Are you looking to cut off his infinite scaling? Or something else.

LOL WUT?! Viegar has no escape but Nasus does?! Oh, and Viegar isn't ranged and doesn't have a lane sized stun or trap that keeps you from engaging... right?! Kindred doesn't get free stacks in the jungle that does % max enemies health?! Nasus plays different than almost 90% of every other champion and forces champion to play different than the trade game that dominates the rest of league but this apparently is "no fair" or "QQ cancer".

Want to know why Nasus is balanced? It is because his whole kit is centered around one ability, his Q. He has one major damage ability in his entire kit and he needs his life steal because he has no way to stay safe or farm early without it. He has some of the highest mana costs in the game and can not reliably wither early to save him from hard engages all the time or use spirit fire to farm and stay relevant. He has plenty of counter play and healthy game progression. But I am sure it's not acceptable to use wave control, kiting, abusive early game or CC as counters against Nasus because that requires forethought and coordination...

If every champion was centered around one ability the game would be so much healthier but everyone prefers these champs with stat overloaded abilities that allows them to have CC, true damage or %health damage so they can destroy anyone at any stage of the game.

Nasus has 0 kill pressure early unless you are stupid and dive him under turret. He has a laughably abusive early game in which he can do nothing to anyone until he has around 120 stacks which is about 5-7 minutes into the game and your lane opponent will be harassing you and taking a healthy CS lead over you as well. He is stupid easy to to dive with jungle help and get first blood on before he has his 6. Late game where he is supposed to be unstoppable is a joke. If you have a decent adc and just a few slows you can easily kite him and destroy him if he's alone.

Point is Nasus fulfills his fantasy as a late game terror only slightly. If he was able to farm well and if his team is smart enough to help get him into yours so he can destroy you all. However if his team refuses to back him up or lost lanes then he can not win the game no matter how ahead he was. This is no different than any of the juggernauts really. If they get ahead you will be sorry but if not they are generally useless.

People really just need to get over it. Nasus is actually borderline under powered and needs a buff not a rework. Why not make a useful thread about real problem champs that are being abused because their overpowered kits? Rengar? Ekko? Zed? Malzhar? Lucian? Jhin? Oh, but wait! These are some of your the main champions you use!!! So this all comes down to you like getting free elo except when a champion who can get strong, like Nasus, ruins your parade from easily winning the game from lvl 1 -18? SMH...

ah, rito, removed comment, I see.

still, 1k stacks, gg. farm goal achieved.

Nasus can actually survive without his q thanks to his armor debuff on E

i'd be happy if they start by increasing the cd on wither, by the time its over he'll have it up again in 2 seconds.

i just had a smurf (he said he was a smurf) a few games ago who was playing nasus, cause he dominated the lane he just ended up being able to nearly 1v5 the team and with the rest of his team it felt like a 9v5.

Nasus is almost the most easily countered champion in game. Teemo and Quinn obliterate him, because Q is useless if he can't hit with it; Any mage top lane like Lissandra, Ryze, or Cassiopeia will ruin him because they can poke him while he attempts to farm. Then there's CC, which denies him access to farm. And of course, he more than anyone, has too much difficulty farming under the tower. There's are tons of counters to Nasus, and so long as you don't let him farm unattended, he's easy to put down.
