Does every game turn into a low farm game vs. Nasus?
Silver rank's perspective here. Feel free to provide input based on different levels of play.
I'm noticing that when Nasus is locked in on the other team, the game turns into a race to end the game before Nasus has enough stacks that you can't fight him and, by consequence, enough tank stats to be a virtual raid boss.
I just finished one of my most hectic games of the season, where pretty much every pick was made to end the game in a faster-than-timely fashion. I ended up picking Vayne into Draven (yeah, who does this willingly?) because she's the only ADC (that I can play) who does reliable damage to Nasus even when he becomes tanky.
Out of the gate, it was a very unusual game. Any farm I would have gotten was forgone for the sake of stacking objectives in our favor and wiping their side of the map out. Thankfully, it worked out in the end because our team did an amazing job of keeping every lane in their control.
With that anecdote out of the way, is this the only feasible way of making sure Nasus doesn't become an absolute nightmare to face? I've been told that at higher levels of play that he isn't as problematic because teams are good enough to end the game before he gets big. Back down here in silver, it just seems as though he'll inevitably get farm if you don't strap yourself to him and poke him with what eventually becomes a toothpick and hope no other lanes collapse.
Are we taking the wrong approach?
