I can tell you. A team fight that doesn't include Nasus, because he's busy splitting. Baron Buff. Problem solved.

the real question is; why didn't you win by the time nasus is strong enough to split push late game. You were 5v4 up to that point, can't you even win 4v5?

Well considering that Nasus can easily get 300 stacks in 20 minutes right now, it's pretty hard to win in that short of a time.

I've gotten 500 in 20 min before, and usually get 400-500. You know what usually happens though? The team loses so hard by 20 minutes it doesn't matter how many stacks I have.

I even had 8 games in a row where my teammates died about 16 times in 10 minutes. Half those games my team raged at me for not being in the pre-10 minute fights; half of those, I WAS and gave over lanes help. lol.

Anyway, nasus is fine, and has quite a few champs that can handle him in lane, or you can just be a champ that wins by ganking from top early like panth.

So, trundle is getting buffed? He is killer right now, Rito must be willing to try anything to end the tank meta. I've actually been surprised I don't see him more

Wow, you have had some horrible luck getting decent teammates then. I love having a Nasus on my team since I am great at turtling and waiting for him to come online.

Trundle is strong right now. He is going to be a beast with this new buff.

300 stacks is nothing. In fact, he should have about 400-450 by 20 minutes if he wants to do something.

LuggJun 18, 20151 votes

Yeah, if no one pressures him at all.

Lane swaps are amazing things.

Good luck pulling that off anywhere below Master.

Nasus's mid-game is his really strong point though.

Has to be, they sped up the game a few seasons ago. When I started playing games took 45-60 minutes to play. Now games are usually 22-28 minutes.

If nasus couldn't do anything by 20 minutes he wouldn't be viable at all. I know that would make the susan haters happy but he's not OP like they like to claim. He just has a nitch and they don't want to be bothered with learning how to play.

He's not really broken but he's still cancer.

Trundle, bro. Know how to use Trundle well and Nasus won't stand a chance. I picked up Trundle just to deal with Nasus.

LuggJun 18, 20152 votes

Especially with the buff to his ult he is getting next patch. Trundle will destroy Nasus.

3TWarriorJun 18, 20151 votes

champs that can kite him well can take him down. Vayne can Q out of the way. Gangplank can kite him while using his ult in the teamfight and can cleanse nasus Wither. Sion can tank Nasus. anti-tanks hit him hard, like Vi and gnar...gnar is pretty much GG because he can't farm while he's getting killed

the problem is, nasus will get farm no matter what

floppy1000Jun 18, 20151 votes

Quinn main. No he can't farm through a blind and a triple proc Harrier with Vault hard CC. Quinn, Teemo, Vayne, top lane ranged bullies with decent CC make Nasus' life very, very miserable.

Or just laneswap. Same result.

floppy1000Jun 18, 20151 votes

Anyone can beat Nasus by playing the early game smart. Easiest strategy: laneswap. Send your adc/sup duo to lane against Nasus, and send your top laner against their adc/sup duo. Then be hyper-aggressive vs. their Nasus and deny all the farm ever. If you have a ranged top laner (Morgana is awesome in laneswaps), then they can farm it out in lane. If not, then you might have to double up JG. But so long as you take Nasus' tower first and your top laner doesn't die a terrible death, then you'll come out way, way ahead, and Nasus will be delayed a ton.

If you still end up with a giant Nasus on your hands, then: a) you done goofed. Seriously goofed. because with a decent early/mid game team comp, you should roll over the enemy team because Nasus is irrelevant at that point in the game: essentially a 5v4. b) you're playing a really, really late game team comp, and you out-scale their Nasus anyways.

The reason Nasus is pretty much never seen in competitive play is because a team only has to laneswap against him and they are almost guaranteed to win.
