Is Nasus even counterable? (Nasus QQ thread. Salt everywhere.)
Every single game it's always the same. He gets his stacks one way or another and carries the game because he two shots turrets even without minions and is too tanky to face whatsoever.
-If you're too aggressive in lane you push his turret and he gets stacks.
-If you aren't aggressive then he gets his stacks.
-You let him push to your turret and he apparently can be easily ganked. (I've just had a game that after ganking him ONCE near our top's turret he warded up way more often and even just went back to around his turret until the waves evened out in his favor.)
-Harass him in lane and his passive just lets him heal it back up.
I pay all of my attention available at top lane when Nasus is in game, constantly looking to gank him if I can while still trying to address other lanes. He's somehow always pushed against his tower at every moment. Constant warnings to my ally to not push the lane. If the game doesn't end fast enough, he gets all of his stacks and eliminates everyone on the team and takes our turrets. To even put a stop to this champ it at least requires 3 available allies to devote attention to him. But guess what? While you were dicking around with Nasus trying to two shot the turrets, the enemy team just took dragon or an objective.
I hate this champ in every way possible. He requires so much baby sitting and has made me want to just quit the match every game he's in. His early game is hardly weak. If things get rough for him he'll wuss out and just lifesteal everything back up with the only end to his onslaught is him running out of mana.
there are a million ways to make his early game hell and snowball from there. He's super weak early, just abuse that and don't let him free farm once laning phase is over. The only reason people QQ about Nasus being OP is because those people don't know his weaknesses and let him stack freely, instead of bullying him and taking advantage of the inevitable 4v5s and forcing objectives. He's also very easy to kite in teamfights, provided you're not the one being withered.
Harass him early, kill him at six.
What an annoying champion. One of the few champs who can push Nasus under turret and still harass the shit out of him. Getting ganked is your biggest worry.
Lots of harassment and CC, while being more useful in team fights. What's not to love?
No joke. Max Wuju style and punish him for every creep. Free farm top and kill Nasus as much as possible. The beauty of this champion is that even if Nasus gets a fairly average number of stacks, a well-farmed and fed Yi can duel him, since Highlander negates Wither.
Oh yes, Olaf counters Nasus in lane. Max E first, and smack the shit out of him if he comes close. Win lane, then lose the game because you picked Olaf and Olaf sort of sucks. Okay, so maybe not an optimal solution, but if someone has to babysit Nasus top, it might as well be a champ that doesn't bring much to teamfights.

Incredibly hard for Nasus. No way to dodge his harass, and becomes an unkillable monster late game.
My favorite counter because of how manly it is. Trundle can't deny Nasus as effectively as some of the people I've listed, but what he can do is KICK HIS ASS. Trundle is very hard for Nasus to duel, because his kit basically counters his.
I don't feel the need to justify this one.
- Battle Roar doesn't push that much, and you can beat the crap out of Nasus with Savagery every time he wants to kill a minion. Just keep jumping at him via the brush if he tries to farm, and you can zone him entirely.
- Flamespitter and Electro Harpoon will ruin Nasus' day until he manages to get out Spectre's Cowl. Beat him up before he can do that. Don't worry too much about overpushing; Flamespitter does reduced damage to minions.
