I'm really tired of...

Nasus getting farm and suddenly having it be my fault. Every time he gets farm it's now considered "free farm" and I'm "so trash" because Nasus can just buy Spirit Visage and or Frozen Heart and ignore all but the most damaging of attacks. Yes ganks work sometimes, but then other times you still get counterganked because the enemy team has a jungler too, and other times Nasus just flat out escapes or 2v1s you. Nasus is a demigod, and he should feel like it, which is why I get Nasus is a late game monster, but his early game seriously isn't as weak as people make it out to be. Playing any ranged champion against him top only gets you so far. Also, sitting and autoattacking Nasus, even if it did do significant damage, hurts you more than it does him. It makes it harder to cs, and you end up taking a ton of minion aggro. The only real champion I see that makes Nasus say "oh shit" is Ryze and MABYE Darius. There should be a way to actually outplay Nasus or at least strategically deal with him besides just picking Ryze or Darius.

Edit: Nasus can farm just like any other champion btw, it isn't realistic to expect a top laner to stomp Nasus so hard that he has 30 cs at 20 minutes every game.

I used to be annoyed by nasus but if the enemy pick nasus ill trty to go for a heavy cc and burst comp but the enemy nasus comp is heavy tank i just dodge. If the nasus is good though he will get stacks regardless unless there is a champ that exist that can dive him early and magically stop his jungler from ganking them.

Any decent Nasus is going to get farm regardless of what you do. That is why Riot needs to nerf how fast he can get stacks. The good Nasus players have 300 stacks at 15 minutes easy, which is completely ridiculous.

Yeah Ik I play Teemo quite often too, he does work well against Nasus. I should put that up there, but Teemo, unlike Ryze does end up taking minion aggro and can be somewhat attack speed reliant (not the way I play him though). Same reason why champions like Gnar and some adc tops like Quinn are also not great counters.
