So I never play Nasus and just decided to play him and I go against Irelia

I actually won even with Voli camping her lane for her and her getting a kill from our Syndra, it was surprisingly pretty easy then I just kept going and smashing 2 turrets, dying, repeat and they surrendered after a couple times-- lol I didn't even have that many stacks as I stopped csing for about the last 20 minutes like a fool but it was awesome knocking Kennen & Annie's heads off. I can't imagine him with like 1000 stacks as I only had about half that. I think I might play him more, seems like no one likes a Nasus though.

People love him or hate him...and they can be on either side during the match. People either dont like it when you school them with him...or they don't like it that you aren't roaming around and making the game go as fast as possible. Have fun with him, because he wrecks people AND he can be used in every role except ADC (so there is also "curve-ball pick" utility to taking him)

Nasus can become GOD but lemme tell you somethin go Sion jungle with % health runes and cinderhulk with gromp buff I was dealing 400 magic damage every time they autoattacked me i won a 1v3 this way

also try running a bloodthirster on nasus doubles his natural lifesteal and makes you impossible to kill as long as you can reach something or last whisper for Nasus, Master Tank-Spank

Irelia is one of Nasus's easiest matchups because:

Wither greatly reduces her damage output, because she is very auto-reliant
You can match her sustain, which is her advantage in many matchups
Irelia lacks the early damage to reliably harass you off the minion wave
Irelia has no real ranged harass, so she can't do much to you when you are under your tower.
Irelia's damage is suited for assassinating squishy opponents, not so much killing tanks.

Irelia was also your only opponent with any significant amount of armor (Kennen was AD, so no Zhonya's Hourglass). Also, every lane on your team appears to have won, so you'd have a similar experience as most champions.

Just be careful against some of his harder matchups and certain team compositions. If the enemy can reliably harass and/or outsustain you, or just straight up kill you, you won't have a good time. Some champions to be wary of are: Akali Darius Olaf Vayne KogMaw MasterYi Olaf

Akali will keep her Q on you the entire laning phase, so you can expect to take a double-proc when you go in for CS. Her sustain with her passive and Hextech Gunblade (or its components) is very high as well, so if you can't kill her in an all-in she will outsustain you. Her midgame is stronger then yours, so she'll be able to wreck any squishies on your team since she'll be able to freefarm in lane.

Riven can range from easy to horrible, depending on the Riven's skill and whether she gets ahead. If she's good, expect to take a combo for every creep not under your tower and for her to have near perfect CS (to get the gold to snowball even without killing you).

Gnar isn't too hard to lane against because of Wither and his squishiness, but he will wreck you in teamfights if he gets Frozen Mallet to infinitely kite/peel you. And if you Wither him, then the ADC is free to wail on you.

MasterYi will murder you later in the game. His damage is mixed (especially with Devourer), his DPS is far to high for you to heal, his meditate can block one of your Q and/or Challenging Smite will reduce your damage, and his ultimate lets him ignore attack speed and movement speed slows. You can't fight him, can't run from him, and can't avoid him if you are splitpushing.

DrMundo can be pretty annoying since he's too tanky for you to kill at any point unless he really screws up, he can kite you with cleavers, he deals consistent mixed damage, he has percent health damage, and he scales similarly well. It's not really a bad lane since you can both farm, but Mundo can kill you early in the game before you get durability. Be careful for level 2 cheese, where he pokes you down with Q+E+AA when you CS and kills you when you are low.
