Nasus Skill cap down in the dumpster?

Every nasus I see seems to have such an easy time stacking up. Even me when I play nasus don't feel that weak early. Before those buffs of his, only good nasus players could get 300 stacks by 20-25 minutes, or at least people who knew how to play him. Now it just seems like everyone can get high stacks by 20 minutes and good nasus players get around 500, which just makes him a big boy. Feels too easy now, thoughts?

I tend to counter top Nasus with top Blitz by rushing mana and armor. I could tank about 10 hits from Nasus at 700 stacks after 300+ armor + Archangel staff Shield + Passive shield, and easily keep him off the damage dealers thanks to his pull and knock up.

Easy life, just adjust.

Nasus can be zoned off by 70% of the roster with proper wave management. People do this all the time to me, I've even seen people do it correctly in Bronze.

Nasus is one of those champions that if you lose he'll be ahead, and if you win you have to babysit hin for he won't stack his q and take your towers.

When he is stacking, he's not helping the rest of his team which means it's 4v5 for what will seem like forever. So if zone him early, he'll be forced to stay in lane just killing minions for the next 20 minutes while you're off winning the game. If he tries to leave understacked to help, he'll actually be a liability.

So early on you're often naturally ahead of Nasus, but he'll outscale you unless you push your advantage

People shove waves into his tower all the time, you have to zone him off the wave and enable your jgl to gank the Nasus

Nasus players often rush Trinity, which is expensive and offers no defence stats, but like on most champions it's a massive powerspike

The dream scenario is that you kill him with a gank, shove a big wave into his tower, then the wave bounces off the tower and the wave comes to you, you solo kill him or deny cs, if you kill him, shove. Staying in lane is good because you can keep Nasus out of the game and snowball the cs lead, and then you can group for objectives and end the game when Nasus is entering his mid game powerspike

That way you snowball your lead on him and he never reaches a stage where he becomes useful
