Nasus vs

74770029_DEL·6/12/2016, 2:46:00 PM·1 votes·441 views

Now we all know Nasus has a hard time laning pre 6, and I had this one guy pick nasus into my Jax . Needless to say, he was rolled up and put away with only 78 stacks by 20 minutes. My question is however, is there such a lane where nasus would be allowed to farm with moderate to no harass? Just to clarify if Nasus can regen/lifesteal all the harass that's technically no harass. In essence, is there any matchup where you should counterpick nasus into someone

any tank that doesn't have tons of %hp damage will give nasus a free lane

I like picking him into Irelia and Tryndamere. Wither tends to cripple their DPS and they are squishy enough in mid-game for you to chunk them every Q.

I typically get 150-200 stacks and Sheen against them by 10 minutes, after which I take about a quarter of their health per Q. They are also rather bad at breaking a freeze or harassing an enemy under the tower, so I can keep them overextended and free-farm for quite a while.

I played against a proxy singed once and got 500 stacks by 20 minutes, the proceeded to stomp the rest of their team once we started teamfighting.

  1. Illaoi is by far the easiest lane. If you get harras farm the tentacles.
  2. . AA based champions tends to also give it a easy time because of your wither so Trundle Tryndamere Irelia Aatrox and any other similar champion
  3. High mana cost burst champions like MonkeyKing tend to do moderate bad if you survive the part when they have mana available.
  4. Melee champions with no sustain will also be hevily outsustained by nasus.

That Nasus didn't know what he was doing if he lost that badly to you. I main Nasus so I may be slightly biased but Jax is an easy farm lane. All he had to do was stay behind his minions and take farm while you pushed him under turret.

Typically Jax will run out of mana much faster than me and I can free farm while he backs. If you harass me I will back up letting you take minion damage whilst the wave pushes in my favor. I will then freeze under turret and stack happily until my jungler shows up. At this point I will wither you and throw spirit fire ahead of you guaranteeing you lose armor and the trade. If we don't kill you, you will at least have burned flash and be low enough to have to recall again.

A few problematic champs that are AA bases are Riven (if she is really good) or Fiora (again if really good) B/c if they time their mobility right they can harass and make it back in the bushes while taking little to no minion harass.

Also did you look at his build in your match history? He had all AP runes... It's no wonder you stomped the hell out of him...
