guess i have to ban akali every game now
went against akali top, she built FULL tank and was able to outsustain and kill me as nasus, grasp of the undying is incredibly broken, so much worse than any tank yi or tank fiora i've ever seen

Grasp of the undying is not broken... Akali's numbers are broken. The fact of the matter is that her damage needs to be more item dependent. If she is building full tank and killing you, then you are doing something wrong.
Edit: Also, when was the last time you played nasus against akali? Looking at your match history, you haven't played nasus in quite some time and the last time you did wasn't against akali.
i'm not a bad nasus player, i play every champion, i had just stomped a teemo in the game before that, and every single time their yi came to gank top, i easily 2v1'd them. there was simply NOTHING i could do against her, and it made me want to just leave the game to be honest, i've played over 2000 games, and i've never been so miserable
Comparing apples to oranges. A game against a bad teemo is not the same as a game against a great akali player. Like someone else already said, akali has sustain, no mana, and can just farm for days. She can decide when to go in on you and can use shroud to make your stacks essentially worthless against her. She is just a strong pick against nasus, nothing else. She needs her numbers adjusted so she doesn't have as much strength without building damage items, but other than that she is in a fine spot. The last thing we need is a keystone nerfed. We already see enough thunderlords as it is.
Nasus isn't exactly a good champion to fight against Akali with, even without the tank. She has burst, sustain,and a far stronger early game than you do. Tank or not you got counterpicked, and likely didn't give her the proper in lane respect she deserved.
Pick someone who does well against Akali and you likely would have done fine, again if you give her the respect she deserves.
it was blind pick, and i almost killed her at level 1, and of course dangerous game and leveling up screwed me over in a 1 to 1 trade, i'm not really a bad nasus player, she wasn't even CSing, just attacking me, there was nothing i could do but freeze my lane, then it got to the point where she was able to dive me under tower at around level 9 while i had about 75% health and my ult.
it was the most miserable thing i've ever faced in my life
You've never played the Nasus/Darius lane then, have you? That thing is a nightmare.
But honestly against any good duelist you should be freezing your lane until at least 200 stacks. In any case could you link us to the game?
