Is Nasus really op, or do I just suck?

I don't know about you guys but, I personally hate, I mean absolutely hate playing against a Nasus. I feel like the buffs he received just make him too strong, like how his ult reduces his Q's cooldown by 50%. Or how his W comes back up as soon as it ends, or how he just gets 100 stacks and can literally one v one anyone in the game. So I want to know if he's too strong or am I just bad. And if I am playing bad some advice on how to beat would really be appreciated.

He belongs to a class of champions that is specifically countered by team coordination, which the people who cry and beg for juggernaut buffs don't understand.

Yes, for lower levels of play he is overpowered. Because the teams don't know how to capitalize on successes elsewhere or deal with him stacking and splitpushing. Which isn't something that Riot should've buffed, because all it does is make him stronger where he's strong while having no effect on his play rate at the level at which the teams can deal with him.

You are probably just picking the wrong champs against him. Nasus is arguably the most easily kited champion in this game. It's between him and Garen imo.

He is average right now, if you play against him poorly, he will just snowball his ass off, play against him well, and he is literally dead weight.

Kiting and ranged poke, phase rush counters his ability to get in, AD casters like Riven can do well against him as they don't rely on AAs as much as say Try.

Also play him, no better means of finding out champion's weaknesses then playing them.

Don't stand in his E while fighting him.
Don't choose champions without hard skill shot CC to disengage him, or his Wither at 2 points will slow you down to slower than a minion, and he will mow you down.

If you want a pure Nasus counter:

MasterYi heavy counters.
