I hear people say they are not op really at all, if so does anyone have any extra tips on how to counter them, or deal with them when they start to snowball?
Including champions like:
I've heard about "Building Thornsmail" and "Play defensive" and those help a little but overall not so much. Any other good tips? Thanks.

Major Sparkles1 votesI thought the same thing. lol
Only Play Darius1 votesNasus is supposed to be countered by his extremely weak early game. If he somehow actually wins lane, he can farm all he wants and if his lane opponent tries to stop him they get 2 shotted under their own turret. A fed Nasus is a nightmare in that he never falls off because he stacks infinitely, and the only way to really deal with a fed Nasus is to send literally the entire team to 1v5 him. Not 1v4, i have seen fed Nasus win 1v4. You NEED 5 people.
Fewtas1 votesIt really depends on the champ you're playing and such. For people such as or , lock them down for just a few seconds as they go in. for others like and , try to have someone who's fed on your team zone them for a few seconds. As for , well, I got nothing. I normally I don't have to deal with him getting fed since I have a friend playing some of his counters top lane.
Meep Man1 votesIt really depends on the champ you're playing and such. For people such as
She has no crowd control or any real debuffs, so as longas you can tank through her damage, she is nothing.
He is a toughy. Instant crowd control is his main opponent, so the likes of Ryze and Lissandra are good against him.
The only way to deal with this pony is some slows and immobilizes. If he gets hit by any form of crowd control that limits his movement, he can't do too much.
Another toughy like Fizz. I would say get some armor and health. Crowd control is also useful. Don't try and duel her early on, she will win 75% of the time.
Powerful spells kill this guy. If he can't dodge it, he is not all that good. For example, as far as Top Laners go, Pantheon and Cho'Gath are strong picks against him.
Get in her face as fast as possible. She is squishy and her ultimate is terrible point-blank.
No matter how fed Kat is (unless she is over 800 AP), she relies on her ultimate to get kills in a normal fight. If you can stop her ultimate, she won't be much trouble at all.
This guy is like Fiora. Tank it. If you can't, stun him.
The top lane version of Katarina except she doesn't ENTIRELY rely on her ultimate. If you can disengage really hard and then retaliate quickly, Riven won't be in lane for long.
Slows and immobilizes can really hamper Tryndamere since he has no ranged damage. He can also reduce your attack damage, so attack damage characters will fair a little worse than ability power characters. Taking Ignite can also be useful against him. After he uses his ultimate, you can wait 1-2 seconds then Ignite him to half his heal that he will use or kill him when his ultimate times out.
The master of camera spotlights, Vayne is known for looking amazing and making plays. The only defenses that will help against her is attack speed slows so attack speed slows such as Randuin's Omen, Nasus' Wither, and Malphite in general will do well against her.
Any form of mobility can hamper Xerath. All of his spells have a delay, so if you can dodge at the right times, you can avoid most of his damage. Strong and highly mobile Assassins like Fizz and Zed do this well.
Try to bring characters that don't rely on projectiles to the fight against this guy as well as characters with an attack speed slow, silence, or straight up stun. DONT GET KNOCKED UP! Olaf and anyone who can become immune to crowd control can mess him up.
The Mr. LCSBIGPLAYS himself, Zed is a signature of League of Legends in the Assassins role. Silences and stuns will hamper this guy a lot as well as any form of instant shut downs. Therefore, Malzahar, Warwick, Lissandra, and Annie can perform well against him. Getting a Quicksilver Sash or Zhonya's Hourglass can also negate the damage portion of his ultimate.
Nasus is an extremely big threat in a game. If he is in it, chances are he will be a big part of it. However, his low mobility is very noticeable and his reliance on his enhanced basic attack is also very noticeable. Having any form of ranged crowd control will allow you to kite him and a Thornmail will help against his damage a lot.
She is like Riven. Immobilizes will destroy her combos and nearly negate her damage.
To learn a lesson from all of this, crowd control is an essential part to shutting down early snow ballers, especially crowd control that can immobilize the enemy and/or entirely shut them down. High defenses will also help against most of them.
Talll1 votesHelps a lot, thanks man
Blue Collar Bear1 votesUnless you're able to snowball equally well or better, the only thing you can do is build and play defensively until your team's power curve ramps up. A large majority of these champions get a significant power spike at level six, and then by mid game they are easier to handle.
Against these champions, I tend to play tank champions with lots and lots of peel.
HamburgerJunior1 votesYou don't beat nasus. nobody beats nasus.
WalkingInACircle1 votesSnowball Xerath :3
You gank them. Or if you're the guy in the lane, you build defensively, play conservatively, and see if you can bait them into your tower.
Krully1 votesMalzahar deals with the likes of yas, kata, akali, zed. Cho deals with jax,riven, fiora,. Hard CC deals with any adc and Yi so someone like Sej, Mao, Vi. Pointy clicky is your friend.
As for nasus, you can bully him early game and try to harass him but really its a race against the clock with him.
