Nasus is literally the most busted shit I've ever seen, there is no dueling him, his W, and especially his E is way too strong, plus his ult makes it literally impossible to fight him. So you gotta poke him right? Yeah, there's no fucking poking Nasus, his passive lifesteal keeps him at full health for the entire laning phase even if you're playing fucking Xerath, Karthus, or Gangplank. The only way you can beat him is if it's your entire team, his only counter.

I literally just played a game vs a Nasus who had 70 cs and 46 stacks at 15 minutes, I didn't let that piece of shit get a single fucking minion, every time I poked him down to low health, he just runs under tower and starts auto attacking and because of his bullshit fucking lifesteal, and pathetic mana costs, he can literally stay in lane forever... Even at 70 cs and 46 stacks meanwhile I had about 130-140, HE COULD STILL FUCKING SOLO ME, NO MATTER WHAT I DID. Nasus really should get a complete fucking rework, he hasn't received a nerf since patch 5.22.

Because you're bad at this game

I am not gonna say that nasus has no counterplay. He has a lot counterplay, but the problem is that Nasus buys full tank items (tank items are superior to damage items in terms of cost) because he can do it. At some point he will outsustain your damage, and this is reverse point in lanephase as he can start to make stacks for real.

You are unable to deny him from getting stacks after his 2-3 tank items, and you are unable to solo him in lategame unless you play Vayne of Kogmaw

I mean let's talk about the ult buff for a minute. Did anyone forget about that?

Lol his early game is so easily abusable. The only thing you have to do is freeze the lane in front of your tower and watch him cry

Oh and if he maxes E to break your freeze he's losing a lot of damage mid game, giving you even more time to abuse him.

You can also slow push, get 2-3 waves crashing on his tower, then roam mid/bot. Getting other lanes ahead can fuck him hard, he doesn't have any mobility. He could have 1K stacks, if he's never in range of anyone, he's useless.

Nasus has almost every bit of counter play unless you litterally just sat there and let him stack, then that's your fault

Nasus is super weak early. Keep your river warded and blast the piss out of him.

Nasus is the ultimate in lumbering powerhouses, but that doesnt make him that difficult to play around, just makes him difficult to straight up 1v1 or sometimes 2v1. If you actually want advice on how to handle him though, u have to gives specifics about what kind of matchup it was.

let him stack and you will lose , i've seen players destroy nasus just a minion

The best thing you can do is zone and harass him early and keep his stacks low. Even better, get your Jg to gank your lane for you.
