How to defend against 'shove' Nasus? (Early AP build)

Hey there, Onwodori here.

I just had the most toxic game I've had in awhile, trying to lane against a Doran ring Nasus.

And then 6 doran rings.

I couldn't farm, I was always low health, he healed up any and all damage I did to him and he could dive me under tower and get away with it. Now the obvious answer is to get a gank from your jungler, but my jungler was about as receptive or helpful as a wet match in the center of a black hole.

Thoughts? I'm truly frustrated in ways I haven't been for a long time now. Thanks.

AP nasus falls off really hard about 15 minutes in the game. He is really only good for laning and he sacrifices his stacks so that he can shove lane really hard.

Catch lanes and get what farm you can. Later in the game you can ignore him and win teamfight as he is either a squishy wet noodle who does little damage or a tank who does zero damage. The most important thing is that you don't feed him kills. Depending on who your playing early mr in the form of Merc treads or a spectors cowl can be super useful.

to beat a nasus ap lets him waste his mana and check the cd if u know the cd on his e u can dodge it very easy. also pick a champ who can heals well like zac or grab a lot of hp regen items to counter the damage. either way zac counter him he can leap in and heal from passive

Champs with high sustain to outlast him

let him shove, get your jungler to gank him relentlessly
