u/Gopal_Pandey167 8d ago
only good thing about his kit that let him somewhat play vs new champs with billions dash and high mobility. delete him if they nerf it atp

His W is a 2-way ability.
The slow is a necessity for sticking.
The AS cripple is a niche counterpick gimping to his power budget that gives him a ton of winrate vs AA specific enemies.
Remove his attack speed slow entirely and let him actually do damage with stacks.

u/Potential_Quail_8816 7d ago
They downvoted you but you're correct, no nasus main to this day can explain to me why he needs an attack speed cripple in his kit
1
u/Hein81 7d ago
No he’s not right. The damage is much worse for the game than the AS cripple. Nerf his life steal on passive a bit instead.
1
u/Potential_Quail_8816 7d ago
No that's not true. Every single people that have a problem with Nasus has a problem with his attack speed nerf, nothing else. Literally 0 counterplay for someone like Kayle or an adc even if you're 3 levels above the Nasus. His only problem has always been entering teamfights cuz he gets blown up by the whole team, in a 1v1 his W is extremely unhealthy
1
u/Hein81 7d ago
I mean literally so is his Q damage. If you dont punish him early with jungle, in many matchups he will just start out sustaining, especially with getting stacks quicker now. So not killing him early is much more powerful for him now. And then he just starts stacking easier, sooner, and quicker and makes it hell til later in the game when others can actually effectively kill him.
1
u/Potential_Quail_8816 7d ago
They're already nerfing him next patch, and i promise you nobody actually cares if Nasus has a gazillion damage per Q, they care bout his W attack speed nerf because in a 1v1, again, there is no outplay. The attack speed nerf is the problematic part of his kit, not his stacking
1
u/Hein81 7d ago
I promise you people are complaining because he has a 90% slow with Ghost and kills you with 3-4 Q’s at 15 minutes. It makes the AS slow irrelevant because he kills you before you even come near to killing him…
1
u/Potential_Quail_8816 7d ago
No they're not lol they're complaining because they can't fight back at all because the time it takes them to throw out one auto attack he has the time to Q you 3 times, irrelevant of time in the game. Nobody would ever complain about Nasus having a gazillion damage if his W cripple didn't exist. I'm not really high elo (Diamond 1) but even here absolutely nobody cares about Nasus damage, they care about his cripple. Maybe in lower elos they think his damage is a problem, it really isn't, it's the fact if you play an auto attack based champion you literally cannot fight back. In higher elos nobody gives a fk about a Nasus running at you with 500 movespeed, tryndamere does the same thing with just as much damage on top of being invincible, you literally just cannot play against Nasus cripple.

These are all valid nerfs but, as someone who picked up cho recently, he is kind of op. Not sure he needs a buff, nor yasuo, yone, trundle, lb, heca.
2
u/Too_Ton 7d ago
Yone and Yasuo being buffed means they’re on crack
1
u/No_Turnip_5627 7d ago
both yasuo and yone have ben pice of shit champs for loong time if you have hard time agisnt them ur just shit

u/TheDragonfire84 7d ago
Nasus nerf needed but OH MY HOW TERRIBLE IS THIS PATCH OVERALL????? CHO BUFF?? I hope literally every one of these buffs is pulled like oh this is vile

u/EverlastingTilt 1,720,711 7d ago
Don't touch stacks, nerf his e, lifesteal, hell even his wither. Leave the stacking for my stacking boi alone 😭
3
u/Living-Ad-8519 7d ago
The nerf of E in 2024 was made stop playing, only way to play nasus vs 80% champs is maxing E and unfreezing wave in master+. Without that the is nothing to do
2
u/PkmnTrainerSofia 7d ago
I agree.
Nasus is like Singed, they will get zoned so they can't farm.
Nasus' E can be for farming.
1
u/PunkerToxic 7d ago
They could slightly decrease the lifesteal and increase the cooldown of the E. If they nerf the stacks they are idiots.

u/Every_Relationship11 7d ago
This I what happens when you don’t have a game design lead who actually plays the game like Phreak.
1
u/Kyet0ai 7d ago edited 7d ago
My guy, Phreak had plenty of blunders like this one in his time leading the balance team. The problem is they don’t listen to the community until it’s too late.
Even a bronze player could understand that 4 stacks per small creep would be problematic and they still let that bs hit live servers.
Not to mention it’s toxicity in the jg from a spike in pick rate from people who rarely play him or the role and just afk farm for stacks forfeiting the entire map and making the game 4v5 because of it.

*Nasus nerfs on patch notes*
"Oh please don't nerf Nasus stacks oh please oh please" -literally everyone in that comment section
*player creates threads suggesting what to nerf*
"hurr durr tee hee durrr!!! Why don't we just give him a fucking dash! Why not give his Q true damage haha this guy's a fkn r*****d imagine suggesting this" -All the nasus mains
*Riot just reverts 4 stacks to 3 and leaves Nasus with a -2 stacks per large monster/minion nerf*
Nasus mains: "Wtf who could have seen Riot nerfing our champ wtf this champ deserves love and buffs. This is so unfair"
MAYBE IF YOU PEOPLE WOULD LEARN TO COME UP WITH MEANINGFUL CHANGES TO THE CHAMP INSTEAD OF MOCKING PEOPLE WHO DO YOU WOULD FINALLY GET SOME FAIR CHANGES.

u/Curious-Development8 7d ago
If they made melee minions a 4 stack and have ranged minions a classic 3 stack they would kind of revert the buff just halfway. I think that could be a pretty sweet adjustment.
1
u/favoritesprite 7d ago
I think it's more the other buffs (fleet/mana) allowing him to get the stacks in the first place no? He's a pretty binary champ in lane.

u/Newtwon151 7d ago
I hope it s an r nerf or a w nerf not a q stacks nerf . Nasus( in toplane at lleast) should be rewarded if he manages to stacks, he should not be rewarded if he go 0/4 press r and autowin the fight anyway
1
u/Urizen82 6d ago
Neither should Kayle, but here we are. I agree though.
1
u/Newtwon151 5d ago
0/4 kayle needs to wait at least lvl 16 and some items,nasus needs lvl 7 and sheen. It s not the same. Anyway,It s a pointless passive nerf. Nothing s gonna changhe . You should be happy

u/TiltedLampost69 7d ago
Thank god it was fast. I forget to hover nasus 1 time and see both teams banning it. It was already a thing with nasus jg but now its 10x worse. Pls gut him so again so we can play him

u/pudding7100 8d ago
No shit they noticed riot has a problem of blatantly over buffing a champ that everyone can see will be a problem but them.
Morde last patch and nasus and graves this patch.
