Nasus Viable?

[quote=caucheka]highest burst more likely, vs another mage nothing can compare because dat [[primordial burst]][/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Veigar is awesome. Nasus is useless crap garbage shit. He sucks top lane. He sucks in the jungle, he sucks everywhere. Useless.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Acid Reigns] Do you mean he has the highest burst, or he's the best caster who specifically focuses on burst Luther? [/quote] Both. :P[/quote]

[quote=Somalie]He has to be played against champs who do not crush him all day long, and in a team that can do well in mid game with a not yet strong top. And the jungler has to be able to do damage during gank, otherwise target won't die. Think about some anticarry guy too (jungler or some mid) because your mobility is often shit and you won't be able to hit the enemy AD if he knows how to kite/escape/play. I find him very interesting to play but I would never feel safe when I pick him. Summoner's spell : exhaust/tp + flash/sprint, the exhaust + W make enemy cry to escape a gank or win all-in trade. The team fight's power of those 2 is really great. Build, it depends a lot, I like the philo for some regen, then a glacial shroud for tankyness and moar spells. Nasus is not meant to be picked against AP imo (he's shut down very hard by them). Then phage+sheen+zeal in the order you prefer, sheen for damage, phage for tankyness and chase, zeal for MS. Then HP MR, even shurelya for mini-sprint. Do not feel obliged to finish the triforce early, HP and defensive stat can be better. Have good runes (tons of armor and some AD) and be good with Q, E and aa to farm under tower because you will often be here. If you fight the right champs or the rights players, you can do pretty well with him. Could do better with other top but hey, you can love a champ.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yeap. I refer back to my, "Drive a truck cause you like trucks, drive a Ferrari to win the race" analogy. Nasus is a truck. And your team is then stuck with a truck as well. Whereas Lee might be a Ferrari.[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]all that hate on nasus There are matchups he can do well in and plays out nicely I usually pick nasus vs yorick and just go berserk because i can win that matchup so hard. There are other matchups he can win but none he does specifically well in. The trick is to build him all defensive and ignore the idea of rushing a sheen. Get 2 gp10 if possible and then build resistances vs your lane so you can farm without any trouble. Lategame you WILL get focused and sometimes might not even get off one Q on the ADcarry even tho you popped wither shurel and ghost. So your target is to be able to soak up as much damage as possible while doing the damage you have (Q). Triforce is a good item on him but i wouldnt pick it up early, instead i would get my Frozen heart and FoN first in most matchups. (some matchups ofc you can stomp rushing triforce -> do it) Even in the jungle he can be played but he is far from being top tier there. His clear is slow, almost no mobility and meh ganks. I found a liking to him and for some reason are doing really well on him. I agree if people say he is not a good champ but he is definitely not as crappy as people make him out to be.

[quote=animorte]Good for you. I'm sure almost everybody has that one champion they despise beyond reasoning for some reason.[/quote]
