@Whiners: Stop complaining about Nasus. He is balanced.

Wanna know how you beat a Nasus in lane? Punish him every time he wants to last-hit. Every time he goes to farm a minion, attack him. Take advantage of his attack animation wind-up and recovery, and hit him when he can't attack back. Harass him or even engage on him early on, and if you either kill him early or force him to recall early, he'll be seriously hurting.

Good lane counterpicks:

Wanna know how you beat Nasus later on? Make it so that he has to spread his attacks amongst your entire team. As long as he can't land a killing blow, your team can kite him to death easily. Also make use of crowd control-cycling even if he got Tenacity. Don't EVER fight him solo, or you probably deserve to die.

Good team counterpicks:

Bottom line, stop trying to get Nasus nerfed in high-tier play. HE IS BALANCED.

Just played a game as Cass top that I picked into Nasus - wrecked his face.

Team surrendered 25 mins in... I was 6/0/2, he was 0/6/something.

I played against a Nasus once as Vayne. He kept one-shotting my teammates, I kept kiting his to death. We found each other to be worthy opponents in that match, as we were the only fed ones and our duels were epic.

I'd say Nasus is balanced. In low solo queue, it forces the jungler to camp top lane, but eventually top laners get the right idea and won't need a babysitter anymore. And your tips on denying farm? That really goes for any champion. Ever. Nasus isn't really all that unique, he just has that one spell that people hate and need to learn how to manage properly.

The thing about Rengar is that he can engage on you pretty hard with his Empowered Q by using the brush for his jumps. And if he wants to sustain, he doesn't need to push the lane much. Wither also isn't super effective vs Rengar since his Q is an attack reset.

And you're thinking of Rumble.

Nasus early/mid is fine, late game when your presence was needed elsewhere on the map, and things didn't go well. Nasus bounces back with a ton of stacks and starts 2 hitting team mates. The reason its so destructive late game, is because not every champion on your team will be able to deal with Nasus individually, some will just get withered and bap-sticked to death without any means to fight back.

Maybe you can deal with Nasus as a team, but having to make sure 3 people are on board to effectively kill or peel Nasus for every game he's in is kind of silly. When other damage oriented champions can be dealt with by any CC or exhaust.

The problem with this is that once he hits a certain point in the game he doesn't give a fk if you attack him or not cause he will just lifesteal it all back with one Q, leading to the non stop farming of that bullshit ability, Why does Veigar only get 1 AP per Q but Nasus gets 3 AD per Q, kind of broken if u ask me
