Playing Nasus Early Game

MY PEONY··1 votes·295 views

What are your thoughts on the best way to start Nasus early game. I have seen various guides indicating all different things, from item 1029 with 5 item 2003 to a item 2041 to a item 1054 to a item 1033 depending on the situation. I have had various success with each of the options, but what is your opinion as to the best for ad and ap. (Ex. I played a poppy top last game and bought cloth and health pots with 1 mana pot. I was doing fine until she dashed to me and killed me after some decent harass. This was mostly my fault in terms of positioning and decision making, but do you have any item or strategy suggestions to avoid stronger early game champs without OOMing or dying in lane?)

If against mostly or pure AD top I start cloth 5 into glacial, if mostly magic I usually go Ruby crystal (upgrades to kindlegem, and most ap's will auto harass making it good all around). If against a heavy mixed autoattacker, doran's shield.

Really, anything works as long as you survive to your 40 cdr.

I would start Doran's Ring versus a non-aggressive enemy champion, to sustain mana allowing you to Q farm harder.

Otherwise Doran's Shield for health regeneration.

there is no "best" way...

each match up will dictate what to start and how to prioritize your build.
this applies to all champs in all lanes

good luck
