r/nasusmains

Ever since it came out I was wondering why nasus mains weren't picking it up. You have 0 ad scaling in your kit and trinity is literally one of the most expensive items out there, you can use the early ap to manipulate the waves better, you're still gonna be doing mostly ad damage, but it's gonna be more hybridised and it's gonna be harder to deal with, there's also built in heal like the old divine sunderer. Thoughts?

do you guys think the 6% movespeed is enough for it to be a good item against kiting opponents or naw?

What do i do? I usually play assassin jgl and if i dont take every single one of nasuses camps every second games just over for me after 12 minutes i could have 2 items he can have 1 and he wins with ease just cause his teammates covered invades what i do i do? Toplane nasus feels easy to play against but jgl idk what to do

Hello. I used to otp Nasus, he’s my most played champ to this day. But now, it feels like every champ just zones me off the wave and I can never stack (don’t get me started on teemo). Am I wrong to say the champ is just weak now or no? I’m losing my mind I want to go back to playing him but it just doesn’t work. Help.

I'm a new league player and have really enjoyed nasus jungle.

I have been going tri force / prototype then jak sho and other defence items.

I'm wondering if anyone has had success focusing on the life steal potential instead of stacking armor / resistance.

If lifesteal only procs off attacks does that mean in order to rely on lifesteal you would focus on ad items?

Also does the q scale off anything? On a website it says it scales of critical stats but not sure what that means or if it's worth worrying about. Thanks!!

Started playing league in March 2026. Instantly gravitated to Nasus. I used to run a tank build with appropriate runes- but stacking just to get smacked up felt wrong. Idk the point of building trinity on him anymore. Die in 10 seconds vs 7.

I love running lethal tempo, essence, fiend hunter, and mix and match assassin items. It feels like playing a different champ entirely. I’m not spending all my time stacking and I find I end games around 500-700 stacks without trying to Q down every wave. Plus hitting that first auto Q and seeing the enemy champ lose 70% health feels amazing.

But. I also realize I’m in low elo. What might I be missing from this play style vs an actual tanky Nasus?

Nasus is my most played champ in jungle and after this latest patch jungle has felt very bad. Can't do anything if enemy team have smolder or shyvana. Which one should I ban? And is there any strategies around shyvana. She just bullies me early game if I fight for scuttle and mid game it's 50-50. Gold elo rn.

Even I'm 600stack, 1000 stack etc I can't just make team fights. Should I only split push? Even my team loses hard?

How does it work? It is strong?

I see people playing finbulwinter + frozen hearth + muramana.

This matchup feel unplayble if she human and have brain she just slow push the 3 wave and cheater recall and then respect the bounce feel unplayble, u can't freeze or otherwise u lose half u hp ik u will outscale her but the laning phase is horrible

I would like to know how to play again her, do i rush branble vest, shen or steelcaps? do i go gaulnet or trinity force?

And i wanna know if i should freeze a big wave sacrifice my hp or just let it under my tower, farm then my wave will bounce on her tower and she will freeze
