Meanwhile he just builds pure tank since you don't need damage items when your Q has 300 stacks by 15 minutes. | ||

It'll be fixed eventually. | ||

When Nasus is behind a kill he really becomes rather easy until much later. | ||

But then Nasus team just has to turtle until Nasus scales into late game. | ||

Also longer fights means more shield/cc/sustain for his target to survive while Nasus gets kited. I've often seen an enemy team be ahead of us in the midgame but because we had great peeling we just had to stall it out and Nasus would still force people to run but he wouldn't kill us and we'd clean up afterwards (that was even before Nidalee and Ziggs became popular for the stall, but that's soloQ anyway so give people distractions and they'll never force fights). | ||

When Nasus is behind a kill he really becomes rather easy until much later. if you dive then you're at risk of a double kill, also in most matchups nasus doesnt' have to get low at tower at all. If you pick nasus you shouldn't be worried about dives too much. If you fp nasus maybe but then you have your jungler to make sure they don't dive, it sucks to need safety net but you shouldn't be fping nasus without some kind of big advantage elsewhere in the lane phase. EVERY champion is countered by ganks if you allow yourself to get ganked, "just gank him" could be a solution to any champion that is a problem.

He hits a peak in the midgame but after that his damage doesn't grow while the 6-7 levels the jungler/bot lane will gain + the defensive item the AD will build (or QSS) will provide more survivability relatively speaking.

Your argument is totally inane. Why +12? There's a big difference between a 400 stack nasus in 20-25 mins and a 700 stack nasus at 40 minutes. Most adcs don't build any defensive items so its in the range of 2 Q kill with e+flash+q as a finishing burst on the level of an AP carry. The reason nasus lategame doesn't seem as dominant is because like any other melee he can be focused down quickly by aps/ads with LW/Voidstaff so itm eans you have to play smart, at least on some melees you provide value in engage like with zac or something, but nasus has no engage.

Those % increases aren't really important. Does that mean if you get 100 armour you don't get 100 more because the difference is not as big? 200 more damage in a q is still significant, cause that means in 2 Q's that's 400 damage and then 400 damage +maybe an E that's 600 damage extra to finish off an ADC or squishy who has maybe 3k effective HP off 1k+ base damage Q's. The time to live argument with resists is just as valid as time to live argument with nasus q stacks. It's silly to just napkin math everything like that.If you COULD double your impact at 300 stacks and trinity force in 20 minutes that would be insane, you'd have about 1400 damage on Q and its basically true damage with an E, so you literally crit kill an adc with E+flash+Q. The thing is squishy survivability doesn't scale much past 30 minutes anyway, they got like 4 levels and maybe a QSS ora GA but only at full items. So your damage scales all the time while most bruisers don't scale their damage past trinity or trinity+botrk. You can scale your damage and tankiness at the same time. | ||
