The hard, cold, sandy truth about winning the game against a Nasus

For whatever reason, I've seen an abnormally large amount of threads about how to win against Nasus lately, and instead of giving you a detailed guide about how to play against him (just look on the boards and you'll find one), here's some overarching strategy about how to not necessarily beat Nasus, but to win the game - which is what you ultimately want.

NOTE: I'm not a high elo player but from playing Nasus A LOT and watching streams this is simply what I have observed to work the best when it comes to winning the game and not necessarily beating Nasus.

If you're laning against him and you feel as though you will lose lane, you have 2 options to win the game:

Option A: you beg your jg to gank, but ONLY if it is early game. The purpose of this is to shut him down early - if you can set him behind 2+ levels, you have essentially free control to bully him and take objectives, and win the game.

Option B: If you have not shut him down early, win the game as fast as possible, and I've observed the best way to do this is to leave top and snowball other lanes (specifically your bot lane). In my opinion, a good Nasus player only needs between 15-20 minutes to get over 300+ stacks on his q, at which point almost no one on your team will be able to 1v1 him. Because of this, taking high priority objectives with your team is your primary concern. While leaving Nasus is very risky, you wont be able to kill him without help, and he will be stacking either way. Quick note - a lvl 16 Nasus only needs a couple of minutes alone to increase his Q damage GREATLY, so rest assured a half-way decent Nasus player will be able to get a large amount of stacks regardless. Trying to stop him farming past 20 minutes is next to useless - there are simply better things to be doing.

So down to the hard cold sandy truths:

-If you havent shut him down before 25 ish minutes and your bot lane lost, you are likely going to lose the game unless they throw. From experience, Nasus is one of the most unkillable late game champs hands down, which is why if you lost lane, SNOWBALL YOUR ADC. The weird thing about Nasus is that your mid lane can be fed out their ass, but 9/10 times they wont be able to carry hard enough - Nasus simply carries harder, especially in team fights. You need to get your adc in a spot to take down Nasus if you are ever in this situation.

-A good Nasus player will get stacks with teamwork regardless, which means that you need to win the game as fast as possible. This applies to every game, but I believe it applies on a greater scale with Nasus.

Like I said earlier, I'm not a high elo player, this is what I've observed to work the best to WIN THE GAME. I could be totally off, and in that case please feel free to add whatever you want.

I kind of threw this together in a hurry, but I hope you found it helpful!
