@Riot, so what's Nasus counterplay?

Wukong Airlines··9 votes·1,197 views

a Tank with sustain in lane and unlimited damage that can even get tankier and goes URF for 15 secs when he presses R.

Building armor to reduce his damage? no problem, max "E" for poke + magic damage + shredding their armor.

Correct. He's a Juggernaut.

But in response to the OP...

Also, play someone who has a strong early game and bully him out of lane so as to reduce the stacks he can farm.

Some viable choices below:

Darius Pantheon Jayce Yorick Garen

Do you HAVE to rain on my parade? [sg-soraka]

Besides, I still do well against Susan as the Dunkmaster...

Except in cases where I have to summoner 12 down to bot-lane and save my "wonderful" ADC's butt and he gets to farm unimpeded. (Which is happening ALL TOO OFTEN lately because it's "Whoever wins bot, wins the game" right now. [slayer-jinx-unamused] )

you probably face bad nasii because he can just put three points into E and play safe until his much stronger level 6 spike if he really needs to, and there's NOTHING darius can do against that without Jungle intervention.

Well, most of the ones I face are L7 Mastery ... and I'm an L7 Darius, so... maybe I just get lucky? https://i.giphy.com/media/13Qumr2SLqrl5e/giphy.gif

Walk out of his E?

Bait his ult?

NCBuckets2 votes

honestly the only way u can bait his ult is by using all of your cooldowns and possibly uor hp. the same thing applies with tryndamere.

Mostly slows or other CC. If you have a DPS mage who can consistently apply Rylai's, it would make him cry.

When the hell are people going to stop confusing tanks with Juggernauts?

You ever played against an Illaoi? It's like that. Bait out the ult, disengage, and then re-engage when it's down. Wither makes this a little harder but it's still doable.

When I am against a Nasus I go with the good old fall back of Dr. Mundo(DrMundo ) He has a health regen on his pass well meet my Q that does % hp each. You use your W and E on me. Meet my Q that slows you just as much. And the fact Nasus can never bully a Mundo out of lane, unless he has insane stacks early on.

A lot of people will say Teemo can easily beat Nasus, but once Nasus has 100 stacks Teemo now becomes a stack.
