Nasus becomes more painful to play each year.
This Is an inevitable cocaina rant but It's a late night for me and I want to vent my frustrations here, this champion really Is just a shell of what he could, would and was, there truly Is no other champion like Nasus.
What I mean by "this champion becomes more painful to play each year" stems from a lot of factors, but mainly the ones what I want to highlight the most would be the amount of anti-carry potential In this game especially for a scaling champion like Nasus that Is (SUPPOSED) to be a late game powerhouse, while being an "Infinitely scaling" champion when he really just feel like the weakest Infinitely scaling champion In the game.
While other champions have Incredible Infinite scaling gimmicks Nasus Is just, Nasus.
And I'm not saying that as a bad thing, Nasus Is the most unique and Interesting scaling champion for his gimmick to be that he's a true melee Infinite scaler, but the amount of F^cking downsides that comes with It Is genuinely miserable.
And I don't understand why Riot even bothers buffing his Passive Like this
Soul Eater Innate: Nasus gains 12% / 18% / 24% (based on level) life steal.
Please Riot, nobody Is asking for you to buff Nasus's passive yeah It's a nice placebo but I can understand Nasus Is in one of the trickiest spots In the entire game because buffing his stacks In any form would make him "Broken" even tho he Is out-scaled by just about every other champion late game for the sheer fact that he Is melee.
- I really love the Essense reaver build but I feel Incredibly squishy and get 1 shot late game.
- I really love the Trinity bruiser / full - tank build on Nasus but I feel like a sponge for damage late game.
The thing Is for me, this champion just feels like a target dummy late game, the enemy team can just CC lock you Into oblivion, and there's so much mobility In this game that's It's rare to find an actually good angle were you can get Q dmg off.
I think It's pretty reasonable for an R buff, yes I know It doesn't fix any of the core fundamental Issues with the champion but It'd be a start, I'm not saying this out of a place of hate/malice.
This champion really just feels like a test dummy In practice tool late game, this champion Is so incredibly satisfying to play but Is just outshined by every other scaler.
I mainly play Nasus mid, and we all know how Nasus's laning phase Is regardless of what role you play... It's just a miserable experience and to get a decent game were you actually make It to that late game "power-spike" just for you get get used like a roll of toilet paper really fucking sucks.
I am no mathematician, but this champion Is in a really weird spot, and I'm not afraid to say It but Riot Is afraid to buff Infinitely scaling champions, because of the other Incidents they've had In the past (Smolder)
I think It's safe to say that Nasus Is one of the most healthy Infinite scalers In the game, maybe to healthy, I know I'm not the only one thinking this, I would like to be rewarded getting to late game, instead of punished.
I main Mid, I love playing scaling champions, and Nasus has a special place In my heart, he's everything I look for In a champion, I really just hope this champion gets out of this weird state he's been In for quite a while now.
I think we can all agree on this 1 thing and have been there once or twice, nobody likes getting to 1K+ Stacks and then not even be able to get into range for a single Q and getting blown up late game, then your Nexus explodes with little to no counter-play.
I feel out-scaled, more times then I have scaled.
