So I just recently started playing nasus and was just wondering on what's your guy's stance on him. I believe he is the one of the most underrated champs in the game, he can 1 v 2 a lane with the best of em' and in a duo lane he can seriously put the hurt on towers and champs alike. I play him full tank or hybrid and found both to be great depending on the situation.
So what's your guy's opinion and who else do you think is underrated.

P.S. His pharaoh and dreadnight skins are among the sickest in the game imo.

+rep me if you like what I got to say. Semper Fi!

I love Nasus and I usually do well with him. However if you play Nasus, you need a team that can communicate with you since I'd consider him as a tank/off-tank. You're leading the way! Can you trust your team? Anyways, Nasus is extremely strong late game, but if people focus him in lanes and stops his farm on Q, you're really hurt late game. So if you wanna stop Nasus, stop him early game. If you can't, gg :P

NAsus underated? Never realized this. I never see him in ranked play, but that may be because he's one of the few champions I'm carrying myself through ELO hell with. I got a Pentakill with him last week. Siphon was doing an additional 360 from creep farm alone >.>

Match that with Trinity and the skill being on a three second cooldown, coupled with the fact that Nasus just DOES NOT DIE EVER, and you have a mean killing machine.

That game was funny. At the end three people said something to the effect of "GG Nasus". He's definitely my favorite tank. In fact he's about the only champion I tank with, him and Alistar.

He's incredibly difficult to shut down in the lane phase, even 2v1, as you can turret hug and use Siphon Strike's instant attack to last hit creeps the tower hits, effectively making you unillable if you play it smart. That just may be my ELO, though, as I still get a lot of people in the lane phase who don't know what last hitting is (slightly under 1100, brought up from 700).

BEautiful things.
Unfirtunately at my ELO nobody plays Janna. Or any support, actually, aside from Lux (Who I consider a support nuke moreso than a support).

I can 1v2 lane with almost anybody. I just like taking my favourite champions and being able to work with the most difficult of situations.

And I never thought of Nasus as underrated. I can name a few that I believe are very much underrated/underplayed though.

Sivir and Kayle are underrated. Two of my better champions xD

Overrated? Vladimir and Twisted Fate.

Urgot is underrated aswell, at least in normals, since I don't play ranked. Always having fun owning people with him ;)

I think certain ways to play champions is underrated, not just the champs themselves. For example, I will play straight AP Amumu and still be very hard to kill. Most people think straight AP is fail in comparison to tank...wrong.

And AP Master Yi is sooooo fun. Hybrid also works. :P

I think Vladimir is more fun than he is actually good. But yeah, he can be pretty deadly.
Twisted Fate is so great at backdooring and kill-stealing...fails at everything else.

Evelynn is underrated in my eyes. People seem to think she is useless without stealth and can't work around an enemy with Oracle's.
