Nasus build I thought of and will post results of later.

What if in lane you aren't playing around stacking or afk pushing but try to play more as a tank in lane that can turn the lane around after 1 item?

You max E but try to engage with the enemy laner and beat their faces in while actually farming (not stacking, that's just a bonus).

Maxing E gives you a fallback pattern to farm and reduces the enemy armor by a lot.

The runes and masteries would be flat ad reds and quints, armor per level or flat armor yellows, and whatever you want for blues.

You rush item 3068 and then you build either item 3065 oritem 3053 second.

You can get any kinds of boots you want.

You run Bond of Stone or whatever the hell the new keystone is called. You need item 3116 later for your ult and E to slow and proc the mastery.

Then you can buy item 3078 early if fed or later if not fed.

Sample full build looks likeitem 3068 item 3111 item 3116 item 3053 item 3078 item 3151

Thoughts before i try this later in a normals?

Get something other than rylais, a 20% slow on e isnt amazing or anything and wither has a long slow.

Longest and strongest slow I know of. 95% is basically a root.

What do you think I should get? I've thought of buying less resistances because his ult gives a bit, especially at rank 3.

Frozen mallet gives a stronger slow(than rylais) and has a LOT of hp. You could experiment with righteous glory because its cheap and just hp. Or just get a dead mans or ga because I find them very good on Nasus. If you rush spirit visage vs a magic damage laner i would get deadmans over sunfire, becase I see sunfire as an earlygame item to win lane.

I'm going to try this in a normal soon, hopefully i get top in my blind pick!

I dont do draft because it's usually a long ass queue for me =/

Did the game, was against a singed so laning wasnt the most fun but he wasnt prepared for an E max Nasus to screw his proxy.

Edit: fuck just noticed i did this in a ranked game

you... you realize Spirit fire max is common, right? to everyone who doesnt enjoy the stacking?

I play M-pen nasus, personally. Between spirit fires armor reduction and the burn from liandries, you do a shit ton of damage while being moderately tanky.

A mana item is needed too. E costs a lot trinity force has sheen which is good.

Yea that's the standard thing to take.

It's just a slightly suboptimal version of lane pressure Nasus, aka Quasus (even though he's clearly not the first one to have invented it, just he played it at the highest level with good results). Max E; Double doran's into tanky items (used to be ZZ'rot just after, since it was butchered I don't know anymore).
