League of Legends (Old)

URF has destroyed my ability to manage mana.

I played brand in urf, liked him so much I had to try him in a real game. I burned through many so fucking hard.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

I seriously can't play vlad without feeding asdnuashdq how do you play this champion he deals 0 dmg.

Also I can't believe they nerfed blitz so hard Holy molly like I know the w change wasn't supposed to be huge, just meant as a change for his high risk high reward, but it literally destroyed him so much.

I don't even feel like leveling w anymore. It is so frustrating to use and feels sooo clunky.

According to http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/ he also had the most winrate decrease this patch...

Man, I really don't know why people play nasus, he's a real shit champion. Apparently in High elo games, he has a 52% win rate? Ridiculous. In my trashcan fire elo bracket, I've never seen a nasus that shouldn't just get unceremoniously dumpstered.

[Oversoul]

It depends on the matchup I thought. If he can farm Q stacks relatively efficiently he will start to take towers easily and if the ADC is ever out of position its GG.
Most Nasus players think they live in a bubble. Unfortunately this often means a 4v5 at objectives while the Nasus is *still* farming.

Build haunting guise and enter an exciting world of relevance.

Remember, AP doesn't scale with empowered stacks, but magipen does. So early pen + 4 stack tides = oh dear.

But what matchup does nasus win? I can't think of one.

[Papa Zito]

Nasus doesn't win and he doesn't lose. Until 50 minutes, then he wins.

I have a friend who plays a lot of Nasus (70+ games iirc, 76% winrate and is gold), and he says that it's really hard to find a matchup that Nasus actually loses, and I tend to agree. His passive with either cloth + 5 or flask + 3 is kind of insane levels of sustain. Also, since Nasus tends to be under tower a lot WITH TELEPORT that means Nasus should be able to get out of lane more often than not. If you rush spirit visage vs. ap, mages can't hurt you at all. If you rush frozen heart or randuin's vs. AD, a large majority of bruisers cannot hurt you. If you're really far ahead somehow, triforce is kind of insane.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

The thing about Nasus is you just take flat CD gylphs and quints, and the 5% cd in masteries, and you get to start with 20% cd. Then you get Glacial Shroud and Kindlegem and just stack a crapton.

shyvana with tele + smite is broken

I have contacted my friends in riot

they will see that justice be done

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Nasus in low elo is amazing when people are like "ohgod he's freefarming."

The only thing he likes more than a 1v0 lane where he gets to farm is a 1v1 lane where he gets to farm. Lol.

I think he encourages a playstyle (endless splitpush and farm) that majorly exploits low elo solo Q. If you stay in one lane forever, your lane opponent really, really doesn't want to spend all his time pushing the wave back, so you probably get towers or force multiple opponents to come for you (which gives your team time to do stuff). That said, this doesn't really work when your team loses early on.

[hiplop]

Nasus doesnt actually lose many lanes. Championselect.com says pantheon is his number one counter, but nasus after 5/10 minutes absolutely crushes pantheon. his only counters are truedamage/ non mana users that are super aggressive

[hiplop]

you kinda wanna go someone who doesnt have any waveclear. much harder for him to farm under your tower than under his, i try to let him push as much as i can

[hiplop]

wouldnt xerath be a hardcore counter to yasuo, voided????

[Voidedmafia]

wouldnt xerath be a hardcore counter to yasuo, voided????

I'd think that Yasuo would be a counter to Xerath because of his E and general mobility in comparison to how immobile Xerath is.

Although, I really don't know mid matchups so I could be wrong.

[animorpherv1]

If you're looking for a Yasuo counter, Malzahar and Mordekaiser.

[notscience]

Or be a pro and play rammus.

Shadow Isles is the strongest region right now

[Iecerint]

Shadow Isles is the strongest region right now

They were trash-tier forever. D:

Hail Kalista.

[FakeGod]

wtf

Thresh/maokai has been always god-tier

Hecarim is a must ban/pick now

[The Bulge]

Eve and Elyse though

[FakeGod]

strength of the region isn't measured by their weakest champions

[Iecerint]

wtf

Thresh/maokai has been always god-tier

Hecarim is a must ban/pick now

They empirically did the worst in factions in the last several arcs. The lack of a conventional ADC really hurt them.

[FakeGod]

but now they have kalista

it's time for shadow isles domination

[PJ.]

Teal is the new purple?
