OP Nasus guide

I hate and love this champion. I love him whenever I play him but hate him whenever the enemy team has him, especially if I'm laning against. I already reached gold and with runes being changed I don't mind sharing this. since the state of the champion may change significantly next season. If you already know how to play Nasus well and are confident on your skill with him then just skip on down to the build and climb.

A bunch of reasons have lead to Nasus to this state. His itemization has been buffed, he has been buffed, and his weak match ups don't exist anymore for various reasons. Except for Fiora [ BAN THIS CHAMPION]Fiora

item 1054 combined with his passive have created it a state where Nasus can just not give a shit and shrug off the poke long enough to get enough farm for a decent first buy. Add that a lot of his weak match ups require they play aggressive, like staring your tower in the face aggressive to deny you a decent amount farm that even if they ward they will be so far up that they wont a be able to escape a jungler with just a little bit of CC and red buff. But even if you don't get jungle pressure you at worst get a slightly less decent first buy. Stacking is important, but the most important thing to do in the early game as Nasus like any laner is too make sure your farmed will. If you do get into a tough match up, don't be afraid to farm with E.

For AD match ups

item 1054 <item 3024 <item 3057 <item 3047 <item 3078 <item 3800 <item 3065 <item 3075 <item 3143

For AP match ups just build item 3211 first and get item 3111 instead. Just build item 3111 when you think it is necessary. Just make sure you finish it before item 3078

item 3800 lets you close the distance between anyone that can fight you outside your wither range and the rest is just tank stuff that works the best at this time.

item 3053 is way too expensive right now and not worth it, I NEVER BUILD IT.

Against really agressive opponents, armor 4 pots is actually better than dshield I'd say. About steraks, I dont get it either but next season it's likely to be core. The tenacity ^^ Righteous glory is cool but is kinda lacking on armor. Hard to get as a rush without feeling pretty damn squishy. I might be oldschool af, but I prefer the good old FH + SV + triforce And FH getting buffed on preseason is gonna be even nicer

This is still too expensive of a build. The better option is still IBG+SV. TF is a lot of gold for basically an extra 119 damage on your Q. The MS and Phage passive are nice but, debatable as useful as IBG slow field. Plus you tank up faster with IBG and SV.

The extra 10 armor on item 3110 is not really making the item better than IBG in the long run.
