i've seen many account lately who ended in silver or sometimes even bronze for 3-4 seasons in a row and somehow in the last season climbed to master tier :o First i was confident that they just sold their account to a high elo player, but after some more research i noticed that most of the time the player was playing exactly the same champion poul as the seasons before. Somehow ppl can change extremely maybe after some coaching or whatever other reason xD

[@freshlymemed5680]

@@Anivia-Freak I assume its meta shifts and creating new strats. That and maybe actually learning nuanced mechanics like wave management and understanding macro for once.

[@PinkeySuavo]

@@Anivia-Freak if you master the mechanics of a champion then all what's left is to learn macro and decision making. And I feel like that's what most of the people lack. I hit diamond in this game in around S2, stopped playing and sometimes get back. I always get diamond and people always do such stupid things. They often don't know when to end the game. Or they don't know that they CAN end it. Often I see mistakes like - we have total domination, baron is up, inhi is down. We can take baron and just end it but people waste time picking up single fights in their jungles dying 1v1/2/3/4/5 and thus throwing (or just doing anything related to not-winning - we have ace or 4 down, full wave on inhi turret on mid lane, they have 30s to spawn. U can easily end it in the mid-late game. My team chooses to do drake And it's diamond. I clearly see that since the early seasons skill gap has increased but I feel like it's mostly to the mechanics and farming. But I feel like people don't know that the objective is to get the nexus.

I love how top lane is in such a bad state that taking one of the worst (for high elo) top laners Mid can get you to Rank 1. I've been noticing this with a LOT of famous top lane players just abandoning top lane and suddenly getting more and more LP. It's like maining top lane is the forge that makes you a good player and then you leave that role and suddenly you're playing easy mode.

[@SavagePrisonerSP]

I feel like top lane is training mode and is good for new players. It also works backwards, you can take anyone top and if you lose the match up, you can just roam and impact the map and help your team. Meanwhile the other toplaner is just dilly dallying getting farm, but with your help towards the team, it shouldn't matter.

I feel people think nasus is super weak until late but I've found that at 100 stacks you're already able to solo kill most people, and if you can stack well, you should have it around 6 minutes on the timer.

[@zeppkfw]

Yeah they disrespect him too much until they meet a nasus that knows when his powerspike hits and knows when he can 1v1 most champs. There's been so many times where I was borderline feeding and then hit my powerspike and sunderer, i could still 1v1 fed players. Jax is the only champ I have a hard time 1v1ing

[@crinzin4906]

@Zpp yeah with Jax, you have to not get stunned, and you can usually win a fight with him.

[@ididthemath5567]

Yes, indeed! Among us Nasus mains we know 60 stacks, sheen and lvl 6 is the cut off. That’s when you can 1v1 Darius if nobody fed him early.

[@ThahnG413]

It depends on the comp. but I agree with the video. Nasus is much more of a mid-game champion. I have played games with 1000 stacks where there was absolutely nothing I could do because I was perma chain ccd, so I could never even q.

[@xthelord1668]

​@@santiagojara8056 that all is a symptom which comment above said is a issue with toplane which is right, toplane is in a bad state and ill give you reasons why: 1. 1 to 2 item power spike denies many people to effectively win lanes and just forces a shitty 1 vs 1 experience where even if you beat enemy 4 times chances are they are not that behind 2. everyone defaults to tanks (ornn is prob pick or ban because he needs no reset to buy items) or die 10+ times strategies looking to die for good wave states or proxies which shuts down any way of making a gold/xp lead via cs denial and plates 3. lane relies too much on jungle which walks only bot because it is a "dragon centric meta" which in normal terms means it is a botlane meta and TP nerfs fisted toplane really badly so toplane has no way of roaming unless they wanna lose lead they built 4. splitpushing is cancer because your team won't listen to you as a splitpusher and will guarantee die 4 vs 5 just to blame you for not helping when you are literally only able to split as a splitpusher 5. teamfighting as a toplaner means either you get one shot as anything than a tank or you play a tank and you don't die because tanks items are busted and anyone who thinks heartsteel should exist should be headshotted IRL so in return toplane feels like shit and even if you win it is a phyrric victory because you have no impact and as a result weak toplane champs now go mid playing same way they did getting far higher elo than in toplane and this comes from a long time nasus main whose ass played same strat in toplane in season 9 and got plat 3 with sub 60% winrate which today will never happen unless i play nasus mid just because riot keeps forcing shit ideas to make toplane weakside not feel like shit just to make it even shittier

[@ThmSphone]

A variation of this style of 'early low farm mid' Nasus was already being done about 7 or 8 years ago, where the only difference was that you'd max E fist, and it was called 'Quasus' (named after Quas, a professional player of yesteryear). It was doable on top too, because everyone was rushing zz'rot and it gave you free stacks, TP wasn't nerfed and damage wasn't extremely inflated on every lane as it is right now. At that time, I got high Masters with the mid Quasus, as Grandmaster wasn't a thing yet.
