The sapling slow isn't huge but it does make life a bit harder. I think that the sapling slow is a big deal for tank tree. Previously the sapling wouldn't really do anything, its damage was low unless you hit twice. Now however, the slow means you can zone with it and escape with it, though at only 1 second its a bit rough | ||

He is mostly an ult + Q/W Spam to peel for your carry lategame. He does have insane midgame camp potential though. | ||

It actually reminds me a lot of how Nasus would work when he was a FOTM jungler, which doesn't bode well, because Nasus jungle was OP for a while, then never really seen again. Sure, but it doesn't really matter in team fights because you're just peeling. | ||

Also, I'm having the weirdest couple of days. Can't win a game in my preferred roles as mid or support, get stuck playing top a few times and end with decent scores in won games. Get ADC once and I'm legendary by 13 minutes. Maybe should change roles  | ||

But I just played it as a hyper all in type lane and never took it too seriously. Did it for fun really. Pretty much all in from level 2 onwards at every chance. Now with more utility and better peel late game, there seems like there is more potential there, even if his laning took a slight hit. Start with relic shield then full CDR tank, probably something like Frozen Heart, Locket and Face of the Mountain. Maybe Iceborne instead of Locket for more mana and the spellblade proc is pretty good on him anyway. | ||

Nasus got huge range nerfs which basically destroyed him. All the whither nerfs hurt, but were perfectly justified. When Riot slashed his cast ranges, he fell off the competitive radar; another example of why Riot should never touch ranges. | ||

You don't really want to turn your ult off because it has too long a cd to be used twice in a fight, but if you let it go on then you won't even be able to WQ people later in the fight when peeling and cleaning-up is important. | ||

You don't really want to turn your ult off because it has too long a cd to be used twice in a fight, but if you let it go on then you won't even be able to WQ people later in the fight when peeling and cleaning-up is important. I dont know I'd just byu a Frozen heart or something, thats a pretty good item on Mokie | ||
