How do I physically deal with Nasus?

He's one of my biggest bans, and makes my experience unfun nor enjoyable. His slow is annoying. His E is annoying. His ult and CD reduction on Q is annoying. I can bully him till he builds sheen and he completely kills me, then it repeats over and over.

Play an early game champion then freeze the wave/all in him when he comes in for stacks. Don't make the mistake of pushing into him because he can easily farm stacks under tower. If he is using his w on you in most trades early he will oom himself and you can easily push him out of lane or kill him. Avoid standing in his e since it cuts your armor. If he goes sheen/glacial/kindlegem he won't be too tanky unless he ults. Go in on him to make him ult then disengage and wait from it to expire. You now how time to all in and kill him before he get it back. The harder you prevent him from stacking early the better off you will be.

some champs just can't, and once he reaches a certain point no matter who u are u cant alone.

unless you are playing a champ that can keep him to around 100 stacks per 10 min.. your going to have a VERY hard time

  1. Avoid AA-heavy champions. Especially those reliant on MS as well. His W shits on them.
  2. Punish him early as much as you can. 1-5 you want to get as far ahead of him as possible. At 6, if he still has 190+ mana, start playing safer. If he has less than that, he can't R>W>Q>Q, meaning, no matter who you are, he can't reliably kill you. If you can force him to use his E to farm, he won't be able to kill you.
  3. Thornmail and swifties are your friend. Thornmail cuts his passive. Swifties mean you can run from him (Which is honestly more important).
  4. Give up mid-game to him, unless you're 5+ kills above him. If you're still ahead of him, abuse him as long as you can. Nasus is strongest mid-game.
  5. If he's below 170 stacks at 20 minutes, keep the pressure up on him. Don't let him farm.
  6. Late-game, gang up on him. He can't kill the ADC if he can't reach the ADC. All tanks should have Thornmail.
  7. If you can't do any of the above, just shit on his teammates. Nasus is great at 1v1ing, but he can't do much if his team fell apart already.
  8. He can't push faster than five people. Hence, why you shit on his team. If you can easily ace them, you can easily win.
  9. He falls off a bit in late, but you still need to respect him: He can still win most 1v1s after his second item. Unless you can just stat-check him to death (Odds are: Unless you shit on him in lane, you can't stat-check him), or just absurdly out-range him (i.e. you got fed as fuck on Kindred, and have over 20 hunts), don't try to 1v1 him.
  10. Avoid Master Yi into him at all costs. Yi gets hard-countered by him. Master Yi is a stack. He's AA reliant and squishy, and melee. Sure, his ult resists slows, but he'll have shit attack speed. And he'll get two-shot by Nasus, anyways.
