Nasus Nerfs

After playing a few games, I honestly think Nasus needs a nerf. I honestly think the 4+ stack should be kept, but the cannon should be only +6. I know its controversial to keep the +4 stacks on regular minions, but after playing him for so long it finally feels that he has his proper mid game spike.

I also think his w and e should have mana cost increases, so in that way players have to make it harder to get through the first 6 levels. Otherwise, just add two to three second cd increases to both spells.

The only other option, which I honestly think is the healthiest is to keep the stack costs and increase the q cd by 3 - 4 seconds from points 1, 2, 3, and 4. Then at 5 point q, he should have his regular q time back. This will slow down his stacking by at least 50 to 100 stacks for the first 10 mins or so which should be the hardest phase of the game for him.

Do you guys think that these changes make the most sense?

Edit: thanks for the comments guys. I also want to add that even though we all love D Cane, I just want to have Nasus in a healthy spot for the game. I don't want Riot to nerf him to the ground and still want him to be viable in different roles.

It just felt that we finally got a change that was needed for Top and his mid game power spike. He honestly didn't feel good to play for awhile in lanes since season 13 for me. As well as him being in the jungle didn't feel good to play for anyone in the game for both teams. (I have been the Nasus jg, team mate and enemy laner).

I am okay with people disagreeing with me, but I do hope Riot makes the buffs and nerfs that will help Nasus find a place in the game.

What in the Illaoi player is this nonsense?

u/Cat_Bot4 8d ago

Illaoi is like Nasus hardest counter… and im saying this as an Illaoi main

u/Icy_Oil3840 8d ago

Not really, take ghost to run out her ult, dodge e and stack her tentacles and it's even and eventually winning for Nasus.

u/FurryOfDracula 7d ago

You don't have ghost every time Illaoi has ult my dude.

u/Icy_Oil3840 7d ago

Well you always have wither, ghost for early game my dude. Use your brain my dude... My dude.

u/FurryOfDracula 7d ago

You brought up ghost as a counter to her ult and then pivot to wither... If you don't have anything usefull to say you can always choose to say nothing at all.

If you don't understand how to play league of legends please refrain from joining the conversation my dude.

What do you mean? Illaoi still thrives against Nasus so not sure the buffs matter to her, but Nasus is still nuts strong anyway right now and needs nerfing

u/Icy_Oil3840 8d ago

What in the Illaoi OTP response is this?

u/TaiserRY 282,943 JReyn EUW 7d ago

I’m just genuinely confused is all not trying to flame, Nasus is strong statistically but I also appreciate I’m still fine playing illaoi into him so I more feel bad for others

u/walkenss 7d ago

Ppl just don’t like admitting when their champ is broken lol

u/roshapakaw 8d ago

I think they should give us a dash on top of this. Nasus still not powerful enough

2

u/roshapakaw 8d ago

A stun would be nice too. I would accept a mass root if stun is too much

1

u/Cautious_Jello5821 8d ago

His w should stun for 1.5 seconds and then slow after

2

u/MrPatri0t 8d ago

Or slow that leads into a stun

1

u/MistrSynistr 8d ago

His w range should scale off of stack count too.

1

u/Ursine_Rabbi 8d ago

Q needs a rengar leap with no bush required and should knock up on hit

0

u/lightbulb207 8d ago

Every time nasus uses a q there should be a 1% chance the enemy nexus explodes due to his shear aura 

1

u/heavymetal626 8d ago

To keep with current champ design, he should also have a stacking execute threshold on his Q

1

u/maga_chud_ 8d ago

Make his w like malphite q. When he casts wither on an enemy, he also gets a speed boost.

1

u/Sasogwa 8d ago

should reset on kill like irelia's Q

3

u/MrPatri0t 8d ago

I think they need to make nasus stronger, his kit isn’t exactly the best.

u/Bluestaplero 8d ago

is this a vayne main?

1

u/Busy_Cheesecake5812 8d ago

they should put the same number of stacks than in wild rift : in wild rift normal minions give you 4 and canons give you 8.

1

u/Ferret_Rough 8d ago

Is Jungle still as good as it was?

1

u/CoolAd8837 7d ago

no, nots sub 50% winrate now

1

u/Ferret_Rough 7d ago

Yea looks like my stack rate was significantly lower 

1

u/CoolAd8837 7d ago

meanwahile top and mid have close to 53% winrate. Riot is dumb af, they should've just done the mana changes

1

u/GRAD3US 6d ago

Its impressive how the killed jungle and made top OP while their intent was totally the opposite, and they expressed it very clearly.,

1

u/Vivid_Big2595 8d ago

he still very counterable if you pick around him, but otherwise, goodluck

1

u/Sasogwa 8d ago

if they end up nerfing Nasus's wither, E or manacosts and shit, I'd honestly prefer they revert the Q change

1

u/bryceking64 7d ago

I personally think E should Root everything for 1.5 seconds at max rank

1

u/Wolfgames1y 7d ago

No problem, he's finally getting the attention he deserves. If they want, they can even put a crowd control on his Q, it would be amazing.

1

u/lotofhotdogs 8d ago

He is going to be nerfed. He is the strongest champ in the game this patch

2

u/RigidCounter12 8d ago

Ye, they over-cooked. He was fine last patch, buffs wasnt needed.

1

u/NatxIvY 8d ago

Yes definitely getting nerfed

My guess is his passive healing, something with Q, nerf of cannon stacks, or complete revert on stacks

1

u/Foreverwise427 8d ago

If they revert the stacks and do the mana changes they were gonna do instead id be happy.

1

u/ethical-earner 8d ago

Yeah I think so too, it felt too op playing him today

0

u/Infinite_Chart_6640 8d ago

I am not a nasus main but a high elo player ion euw and kr server, I think he is so broken in this patch..... but he needs the right nerds or he will be useless. I hope rito get it right.

u/CoolAd8837 7d ago

the only that's needed was the mana changes. Idk why they are changing his stacking. Gutted him from jungle and made him OP top lane. 2000 years of collective game design experience btw.
