Counter to Nasus?
Could someone please explain to me how to counter nasus? I've come across him a lot recently in the top lane and everyone I play just stands no chance against him. After he gets 1 gank and then somehow manages to carry the entire game. I would just like to know how to counter a champion with a q on such a short cd and being able to stack it so that it does 3 extra damage per kill, a w that makes my movement speed go from 380 to 160 when we are both lvl 8, sustain from his passive and up to 30% lifesteal from his passive, and an ult that gives him a sunfire cape and more health temporarily. It just seems impossible to lane against him no matter what I do. If i get a gank it doesn't matter because he either 2v1 or dies and still does twice my damage. He just seems like he has so much to him and I have no idea how to stop this monstrosity. Especially because his w makes it super difficult to secure kills or even run away. Please someone tell me how to stop him from being so strong.
or
to stop his absurd healing and try not to pick auto attack champs vs him, because his w will destroy you. Hope this helped somehow, mi not veyer good at this game, but this is what ive learned from others
Use the Q blind every chance you get when he is going to Q a minions so he misses his stacks.
Try not to push the wave early game by only last hitting minions and all in as soon as you have level 2. Garen's early damage is really strong so you should be able to make him scared to come close to you again and you just freeze lane by your own tower. Garen also breaks wither with his Q.
He has surprisingly strong early game damage to either kill Nasus or do the same thing as Garen and he is tanky enough to not worry about Siphoning strike later in the game.
Urgot has probably close to the highest early ranged damage in the game. If you can land an E on Nasus you will make him cry with your Q.
Another high early damage pick. If Nasus builds armor you max E first and hit him with it every chance you get and if he builds health you max Q and do the same thing. If maxing Q first you will need
for mana sustain. Olaf can also ignore wither once he gets his ult.
Spam Q and win the early game with ease. You also block siphoning strike with your passive. The problem with this choice is that pantheon doesn't scale like the rest of the ones I listed.
Cho can out sustain pretty much anyone in the game including Nasus. His early game damage is insane and by maxing his silence first you will be able to make Nasus miss a lot of stacks in the same way Teemo does. His ult is also a good counter to Nasus's ult if you can time it perfectly to use it before Nasus uses his because most Nasus players will wait until low health to activate their ult in a duel.

, and
do really well into him early on. If you really want to make him useless, your team should pick a supp that's good at kiting/lockdown like
,
, or
. These three are, imo,
's biggest counters in mid/late game as they are really good in teamfights and should he fight against them he becomes too cc locked to get any significant damage off preventing his lifesteal and overall threat to the team. With one of those champs It becomes a lose/lose situation for
both work pretty well
