Nasus and Champion Interaction

Anyone else find playing against Nasus extremely boring? He has crazy sustain, and no reason to even fight early on. If you try to counter him with some one like Trundle to steal is his stats, he just withers you and walks back to his tower to farm. I really think it's the opposite of what Riot has been preaching lately.

He's an older champ and like many older ones they tend to not go by riots "rules" but then again a lot of new ones do that to so meh. And yes he is boring as hell to play against because he will never interact with you in lane unless you force him to or when hes around level 11 has sheen, a defensive item and between 100-200 stacks because he knows he can beat you at that point. He needs teamwide coordination to constantly rotate to keep him down and early jungle ganks (which is hard because if the new jungle) to prevent him from stacking. If you can't take advantage of a 4v5 for the first 30 mins of the game (due to non communication, or their comp) then its basically over because he has an amazing late game. A good solo queue champion but not as viable in higher levels of play because they can take advantage of his weakness (most of the time).

Exactly my point. With the new jungle, plus the importance of dragon, he's just too safe top lane.

I dunno, people like Jayce (range), Kayle (invulnerable ranged poke), or Poppy (2x double and stun against wall) could do some stuff to him. Ryze as well. Ahri 's charm gets him close for jungle ganks, Lissandra 's STAY THERE, Amumu , Sejuani , Cassiopeia (poison and ult), Caitlyn (poke to death), Garen (silence, e, regen, repeat until Nasus is low then ult)...hell, pick Satan Teemo himself and just blind him every time he tries to stack. Quinn too. Umm...several others could probably work too.
