Disclaimer: this is a low elo QQ post because I'm legit pissed off about playing against new Nasus now.

I feel like no matter how much I poke and try to deny Nasus in the early lane phase, no matter the lead I have, I just get instascrewed around the 15 min mark when I'm laning against Nasus. I was just playing Vlad against him, poking him trying to deny him as much as possible but there reached a point where he could just ult, slow me, walk under my tower and q me to death. I hit him with every ability, used my pool, protbelted away, but that god damn point click slow, the massive q damage that spikes so much earlier now, the fucking lifesteal passive.

I feel like no matter what champ I play against him as, he just scales way too hard way too early and he can just tower dive me, especially if the jungler comes to help him dive. I played a Nasus game earlier, got shit on early by the enemy Rengar, but there reached a point where I could suddenly win every duel against a fed Rengar with a cs advantage because I scaled on my q so much faster than I used to be able to.

Again, downvote this if you want, I know this is just a low elo rant, qq, babyrage post. But for the love of god I need to get this out because fuck Nasus. Actually need to permaban that champ top lane I guess.

Honestly the issue is his wither. 1v1 top against him blows. You lose lane he withers you and just kills you. You win lane he just withers and runs away until hes stronger then he just withers you and kills you. Max level at 40% cdr if you have no tenacity he can keep you withered an entire fight minus one second. The cool down needs to be drastically increased or make it a skill shot. You need tabi to take reduced damage from his q but you also need merc treads to reduce the duration of the wither. Just cant win.

You started winning duels against the Rengar because, despite the fact that the Rengar didn't build to duel and splitpush, he continued to lane well after he should have. The enemy team lost that game in champion select and in how they elected to build.

There are a few powerpicks in the game right now that absolutely shit on Nasus. Play them. Yorick or Urgot. They're easy to play. They have no meta counterpicks. For the most part, you'll either be forcing players onto champions they're not comfortable with, or into situations where if all they play is Nasus, they have to counterpick themselves.

There are at least 10 Top Lane champions that would have to be banned or picked away from you before you should even consider picking Nasus.
