What can a champ like teemo do against him in lane. Or yasuo? With his current ap/max e first bullshit build, what actually can be done?

LOL. Teemo is a counter to him. Shoot blinding darts and he can't stack his Q.

He's referring to lane push Nasus who doesn't generally bother with stacking, so Teemo doesn't counter him nearly as hard.

Teemo counters him in general :P

You're the ignorant one. He's a great counter to him.

Ok sure but why1 votes

nasus has more than one q, you know

nasus's most op part is his Q not his E. His Q can deal over 9000 damage. How is that not broken?

PS: For you old players i'm sure you know what I mean, so don't give it away, let those noobs say that it's impossible

One player managed to reached the top 10 in Challenger by maxing E on Nasus, why don't you tell this fact to his face?

so? His enemies aren't challengers and nasus's E is weak at low level and medicore at high levels Someone played jax support to challenger Is that op?

Rush Runaan's and play the waveclear game. If he's maxing E he's getting gold, but no real stacks. Teemo isn't great because of the way his kit is, I'd actually pick Kayle into him and play it that way. Double dorans -> ZZ'rot is freelo when you have rageblade built and can match his waveclear and scale better.

I don't know yasuo, but i'd recon QSS would be after PD and Mres boots. Double dorans would problably be nice too. (I think how i'd play it is that i would dash out of his E and away during the wither effect)

Edit: This build is a real jungler focused one. It's a cheese that relies on two things: Waveclear, and Jungle presence. If your jungler camps him, it can be really hard for this quick push strategy to get started.

For those who aren't in the know, People have been playing Corrupting pot + Double doran's ring + Zz'rot Rush push cheese. It's super hard to deal with.

Let him push the wave? And kill him after that?

how? The e does 300 damage to me if it spawns under me, and then he slows me

You could just play someone that is actually a decent top laner, and a good counter to nasus:

Pantheon Can bully him out of lane way faster and harder than teemo ever thought possible, provides cc, burst, and map pressure to his team as well

Olaf True Damage harass on short cool down, a slow to counter his slow, ultimate that makes him immune to wither and also means he can't be kept in nasus armor reduction field, Can easily out lifesteal nasus in a 1v1 and gets instant buffs out of being hit hard by nasus q because of the way his kit works.

Ryze An extreme pain in the ass for any melee top laner, not to mention he's got ridiculous burst and 1v1 potential, and Nasus should never even be able to get in range of him... like ever. Harder to use really well or master than the first 2 though

Trundle An extremely bad match up for nasus, does percentage health damage for up to 21% of his opponents maximum health in magic damage AND heals for the same amount in prior to mitigation (i.e. damage before it's reduced by nasus resistances). Not only that literally steals 40% of nasus resistances. Nasus can't out trade him... like ever because his passive gives him massive natural regen on each minion wave. He has a slow/knockup of his own and speed boost, and is a good choice to build bork on because he has a massive attack speed steroid. Trundle is in general an extremely nightmarish opponent for champions like Nasus, he can't out trade him, he can't burst him, he can't sustain fight him, and he probably can't even farm very effectively unless he's practiced at last hitting under his tower.

Some other good counters, that are good to take or learn against him (but which I'm not going to go into detail about):

Darius Fiora Kennen Shen Yorick Volibear

Also, just my personal opinion maybe, but I seriously would never consider playing teemo in ranked (if that is what you are referring to here, if not then by all means go ahead)

Pantheon needs to kill Nasus before level 6, preferably 2 or 3 times or Nasus instantly wins.

Olaf is hardly a counter the only time he's scary is if you let him perma axe you. It's a skill shot so you should be dodging these and it pushes the wave if you are smart and stand in your minions. Nasus wins the lane if olaf can't get a kill before level 6.

Ryze is a skill match up. If Nasus Rushes SV, Sheen and Banshee's he will never kill Nasus. But Nasus won't kill him either.

Trundle is such an easy match up. all I have to do is stay behind my caster minions and if he harasses me I kite back. Trundle needs all his skills to start a trade which destroys his mana pool in 2 rotations early. You have to make a huge mistake to snowball a trundle.

None of the other champs are counters either. they have good early games and that's it. The only time you lose these match ups is when you don't know what you are doing. I played rank for the first time last season almost exclusively playing Nasus and have fought all these match ups many many times. I got to Gold in under 120 games. All the champs you listed excel at early game skirmishing something Nasus will not do and as such much of their power is determined on getting a early kill/lead and keeping it.

Counters would really be Vayne or Quinn who do obscene damage at range and can control the wave rather easily while harassing and dropping agro in the bushes. A really good Gnar is a problem too but more skill match up in Gnar's favor.
