Curious about AP Nasus

so I always go AP Nasus in aram, but never once thought to bring him into SR with fear that it would be non-viable. has anyone ever experimented with this? i feel like going an AP nasus on SR would mean he'd fall into the mid lane position instead of top but I dunno. any thoughts/experiences?

Mid lane or top lane?

I've played him mid lane once, and he does okish early game (you max E, which really helps wave clear). Your E and your Ult do a ton of damage, but late game he lacks the survivability he needs. He only really has one spell you can use for the build, and its cast range isn't that impressive. Added to the fact that he's melee, he can be taken down really easily

It's like AP Rengar, it requires you to get a lucky match-up and get ahead. The most important thing is to stack, and keep stacking. Rush Lichbane, it makes stacking a ton easier and adds damage to your Q. Build 40% CDR, it helps a lot and gives you more damage.

Going him AP mid is legit, but it's also difficult making an impact. Your only source of damage is via E and R, so it forces you to become tanky in order to go in with R and keep the damage flowing.

Also he'll be bullied a lot.
