Yeah that game was uncarriable but, don't go Nasus jungle. You need to get stacks with your Q. Can't get much from jg camps. There are much more minions in lane.

Problem with top lane is that a smart player will harass Nasus constantly. Yes, I can turret hug but I would lose some cs in the process.

You cannot harass Nasus constantly. There is a thing called minion agro. You also have lifesteal with your passive. I'm sure you can take an auto. Just go in to Q a minion and back off.

And he can poke back with his E. its also great for zoning.

E is a bit expensive mana wise, I only use it if the minions end up piling.

You can get corrupting pot. I wouldn't use e though unless you're going to be maxing it first.

Yeah Nasus is a farming champion. He becomes good mid-late game.

Yes, learning how to play against ranged champions top lane is an essential skill. There are high ranking Nasus otps so clearly it's possible.

^never laned versus Khazix [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] cause 300 damage from lv1 attack is OK!

Åeolus1 votes

??? Khazix is not a meta top laner?

BlackFlux1 votes

he itsnt. but w/ his passive,the assassin/merciless mastery & something like greenfathers gift,not to mention the easy isolation of champs when doing solo top kha is a beast early in lane

Åeolus2 votes

But he is never played top lane so why are you talking about him lol

BlackFlux1 votes

With him free RN I have seen several games with him top and it didn't end well for people laning versus since at level 1 you can get like 3 passives up right at the start to do a ton of damage

Q does around 105 base damage at level 1 (against isolated targets). Most champions have around 21-30 armor early, negating around 20% of physical damage so Q should do around 84 damage early. What are you talking about?

Actually with the current Razorbeaks and Krugs camp, there's plenty of stacks. But the fact you have to wait for your Q CD to come back up to farm those is annoying, as you're gonna get behind in exp/gold if you take way too much time clearing camps. Also, Razorbeaks will destroy you earlygame if you don't kill them quickly.

I've carried a game where my mid was inting, top laner illaoi lost lane to maplhite, support with better kda than adc lol. So it's possible, but unlikely.

In my opinion, split push nasus is better than regular nasus. Go double dorans rings, max E and outshove your enemy. You still do nice amounts of damage, get farm safer and aren't starved as much if you were to go in and Q to farm minions. Plus it's so much fun.

I usually do what you described after laning phase....
