I've been going the way of the sirchez lately. I am trying to learn Nasus against various matchups. I have found one that I cannot figure out for the life of me... Darius, how the hell am I supposed to deal with this guy? I have tried to bait out his 360 attack but have had a hard time with that due to him being considerably faster. Seems like a guy might be better off going with an AP build on this one?
Build frozen heart. Done.
Play passive, darius will auto push lane because of his q and passive. Just farm under turret and get frozen heart early, once you hit 200ish stacks surprise his pants off and kill him.
nasus weak early game, strong late game with stacks darius strong early game, weak late game.
so darius stops you from even approaching cs. i don't think you can win that lane phase and you'll be set back with your stacks.
Yes all you have to do is get him to attack you in your minion wave to push it to your turret. Darius will take turret shots just trying to harass you and you can get off more hits on your minions safely for the lifesteal. It will also force him to sit at your turret, if your jungler comes around and you wither him he is dead. If he tries to dive and you wither him ( i usually max it 2nd for utility) hes gonna take a bunch of turret shots. Also if you don't feed Darius tend to rush damage because they think they beat you because you are playing passively. Once you have enough money buy an iceborn gauntlet by then you should have 150-200ish stacks and should be able to kill him or push him out of lane. Just walk up to him q and walk away till q is off cooldown then keep doing that until he's low enough where you think you can get him before he runs back to his turret if you commit.
