How do you actually deal with nasus?

Omega T33mo··4 votes·3,669 views

People say hes easy because you just kite and shit... But you cant actually kite him with his low CD wither late game. Then he does insane damage with low cd q. He builds entirely tank so it takes a while to actually get rid of him. If you dont focus him in teamfights he just gets up in your face and smashes you with his q.

you have to keep him down literally all game, once you beat him in lane, you dont let him farm, once nasus becomes nasus hes very hard to actually remove once hes in the fight. the way to beat nasus is to make sure he doesnt become nasus.

wrong. take his tower early, group with your team and watch as flame ensue in the enemy team because "omg nasus not grouping" if you keep trying to "stop nasus" after lane phase you lose

If you let nasus farm, you lose, if your team cant manage to 4v4 part of the game, your team is probably wouldnt win with you there anyway.

Once Nasus hits 11, he becomes Nasus. Most top laners can't compete with the level sustain he gets, unless they're incredibly far ahead by that point.

Don't let him get to that point.

His lifesteal increases are at 7 and 13.

You absolutely can kite him. An ADC with mobility + a team with cc? Nasus can't do shit. Like Lux mid, Morg support, Lucian ADC? Or Ali support, or Naut? Yeah, Nasus does nothing to you, he's better off not even showing up to teamfights. Your frontline zones off the rest of their team, you murder Nasus while he lumbers toward you trying to get in Q range. Easy peasy.

But the best way to beat Nasus is to obtain a strong advantage before he gets his build together. Nasus is going to sit there in lane for 20 minutes, minimum, so it's a 5v4 for half the game. If you can't turn that into an advantage something is wrong. Take every dragon. Take Rift Herald. Have top lane TP gank bot. Etc.

Teemo/Quinn , spam blind.

Play AD-Bruiser-Off TankSoraka and heal minions to stop his farm.

The sad truth is you are going to have to play champions people hate seeing on teams. Me personally I play teemo, even if he builds a TON of MR to counter, you can still prevent his farming and allow your teammates to get ahead. That and with your global taunt passive you prevent your mid lane and bot lanes from getting ganked all game so that's another plus.

Don't get to late game or babysit for 3/4ths of the game.

It's really stupid. I think he needs a rework because he's so easy to deal with, yet it's so boring and requires a lot of your time. This causes a lot of people to play him in Gold and below.

When you are around level 6 it's time to make a choice how you're going to deal with him. Are you going to babysit him in lane and deny him farm, or are you going to travel to other lanes and get your teammates fed and steal objectives?

You either need to pressure other lanes as hard as you can that you cause a surrender, or you need to keep acting like it's the dreaded laning phase for like 25 minutes until your team bests his teammates.

What you choose may also depend on your power spike. Irelia for example has a crazy spike mid game. She's absolutely going to roam and try to end the game before 25 minutes hits.

If you picked Quinn for example, you're going to want to stay in lane, keeping up the harass on him, and freezing the wave. She's actually perfect for dealing with him, and you can maybe get in a few ganks here and there with TP and ult.

Teemo is like a less effective Quinn against him, but you can absolutely make it work with the blind.

yes you lose he's 2 strong can't do anything true

LadyRenly1 votes

play gangplank or fiora.

Other than that, the only way he can trade with you is to use his spirit fire, get some damage in without pushing the wave under tower.

If you can "win" the game elsewhere, Nasus won't really be relevant

There are early game pokers that can make sure he doesn't get to late game. The classic example is Renekton. If he plays mediocre you can deal with him. If he gets fed and/or farms well, he's going to be very difficult to be dealt with.

I found a good thing to do is just group and shove mid. You should get decently ahead from numbers advantage since Nasus will either join team fights and be useless, or leave his team so he can farm (2nd option happens 98% of the time). Should be able to snowball everyone else.

Make sure to punish him for trying to cs. Push the wave early in the game so that he can't turret farm with Q before getting CD items. Then let the wave push to you so that you can gank him a shit ton.

Or just pick one of the champs that shit on him in lane lol, like Panth.

Even if you win in lane, don't let him farm while the team is team fighting. I see this a lot in bronze... Nasus gets beat in lane and after landing phase is over, his opponent leaves lane and then Nasus starts stacking like crazy.

Akali is SO HOT1 votes

-Pick hard lane bullies that can wreck him and deny him farm -Pick someone with really good waveclear so once he gets a lot of stacks (which he will eventually) he can't splitpush -Pick Braum -Pick an ADC that is super good at kiting well and Braum -Basically, have a good team that is very good at kiting melees in teamfights and can win the enemy team when they are missing Nasus -Pick Braum

Akali used to absolutely shit on Nasus but since her nerfs idk anymore

Brascus1 votes

She still does :3

Brascus1 votes

You don't. You get your farm, you leave lane and you don't come back. Some even unistall. That's their choice.

Pick Blue Ez and get item 3153 item 3140

Not many lategame options as a carry, if your team isn't able to kite him then you're boned
