The comeback of Nasus?

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=Embracing] Eh Nasus has no gap closers Doesn't matter if he has a good clear time or has good ganks He has no proper initiate which is what most junglers need to have. Nasus just gets kited all day and that's why he's not as good as other junglers. Same reason why Udyr fell out of play. His W isn't an instant catchup meaning enemies can react accordingly. He's pretty much a worse Karthus. You can just disengage once he ults and kite him in teamfights. That's why he's not as good of a champ. His top lane is definitely better. [/quote] This. pretty much sums up my thoughts. His ganks aren't even uber great. I mean, granted most of my junglers have a slow, if not slower clear than [[Nasus]]. but they can gank a lot harder. ([[Nautilus]], [[Volibear]], [[Sejuani]]) And he just doesn't get the Q stacks he could be getting at top.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]People have the misconception that Nasus is a great late game but the problem with him is that he can't reach that late game. That's not the main issue. His late game, nevertheless of his Q stacks, is quite bad because he gets kited. His early game, contrary to popular belief is not the shittiest thing in the world. Nasus can survive properly against matchups at top. He does have a weak lane phase just like Singed, though.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Yea, he's basically fine against anything that can't instantly kill him before lvl 6. And he has the option of starting with a ward now for the early safety he lacked in S2. idk why he isnt seeing more play at top quite honestly.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]He isn't seeing play at top because of the same reason why his jungle isn't played. He can't get into fights. He's easily kited. That's something you never want as a top laner.[/quote]

[quote=Yukimaru]He might be better in jungle then top, but for soloqueue hes fuckin unviable, only good thing is to wither the adc, and thats easy to cleanse....pls nickname, when do u stop? Im not sure if u still didnt realized ppl make fun out of u when u theorycraft....[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]AP [[nasus]] mid better.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex][quote=DarkPercy] AP [[nasus]] mid better. [/quote] just screwed by everything else that goes mid.[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]lol you're funny. Out of curiosity, have you EVER faced a good AP [[nasus]]? I'm preeeeeetty sure no :P. And by the way you guys are making [[nasus]] lookva lot worse than what he actually is. ''He gets kited SO easily''. Just don't chase the enemy AD carry wtf. Protect your AD carry from the enemy tanky DPS, you deal % of HP damage with your ult, you can slow him down with [[wither]] (without having fear of it being [[cleanse]]d or [[quicksilver sash]]'d) and reduce his armor with [[spirit fire]] so your ADC can deal more damage. And his [[siphoning strike]] is just completely broken at the moment. No hesitation, no ''he gets kited''. Crit for 1k at level 10 and crit for 3k damage late game each 2 seconds is just not ''okay''. Well, one thing is sure though, he's hella fun.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]The next Nasus change at PBE: [[Siphoning Strike]] cost: 20/20/20/20/20 Mana[/quote]

[quote=utopus]Not going to change much imo. You usually build in some mana regen on nasus regardless, so this just means that you can wait a little longer, and farm a little more before you do your recall. Nasus' mana problems in siphoning stroke were mitigated by items like philosopher's stone (which you'd build into shurelyas so you'd actually contribute to team fights), or chalice of harmony or something of the sort. Doesn't matter what i say, though. I'm never ever going to change nicknamemy's opinion[/quote]
