Survive Teemo as Nasus

Many say that if Nasus matched up with Teemo, Nasus gonna get pooped on really hard. This is my tip to survive top against Teemo as Nasus.

item 1054 +item 2003 for first buy. If your opponent focus on harass, don't go 1v1 with him as you will lose most of the time. Give up some of the stacks and let the wave push toward your tower. Also, if your opponent focus on harassing, their cs gonna suck because 1. Multi-tasking is hard 2. Teemo is ap so he can't really cs as easily early on.

*Nasus have superb sustain, if you don't ho too hard on him, you should be able to use your passive and life steal back. Use your E to push him back. If you stay in lane, your opponent would stay too. But Teemo have no passive sustain, he only have pots. Your E will push him back and as the same time harass. You shall recall if you see that he is missing. (It should be a bit in the mid game, about 10-15 minutes in, and you should have decent amount of gold.)

item 3211 item 3067 item 1001 item 3057 for your second buy.

At this point, if teemo hit you, it just gonna heal you instead. Keep farming, you should be able to push back teemo since teemo don't build any defensive item. *stay in your lane, focus on your stacks. You should be able to get around 450- 500 stacks at 30 minutes.
My build item 3078 item 3065 item 3102 item 3143 item 3111 item 3110
Thank you, please give me feedback on my first post.

Honestly I think the main key is simply getting a spectre's cowl. Due to Teemo's dot, you'll get the regen refreshed with every tic of the poison. As far as using your e to push him back I actually disagree with thyat as it burns your mana very quickly if you do it for too long. I use my E to whittle down huge waves and focus on being able to farm under turret. If you can get near perfect farm under your own turret you're good to go on Nasus against almost anyone really.

As far as your first post goes it could use a little visual clarity but the content is good, you explain your reasoning and trying to present in a logical order. Try breaking it up visually with your logical breaks and it'll be a nicer read.

Meh. There are two ways you lane with Nasus. Q max against good matchups, E max against bad.

Against Teemo, max E and rush Chalice. Chalice gives MR against Teemo, and it means you have mana to E every wave+Harass. Drop E on wave, grab whatever Q stacks you can whenever you can. Teemo is then forced to CS under tower because your E one shots waves and he has no sustain to tank minions to try to freeze the lane. When Teemo is low enough from E harass (Seriously, that skill does a MILLION BILLION DAMAGE) and minion damage, you just Wither and kill him.

Once you get your advantage (A second MR item, Cowl works) you stop one shotting the waves and start harassing with E and carefully farming every minion with Q. It isn't hard. This is why Nasus is strong, he has almost no 'bad' matchups, he just has matchups where he can't get a billion Q farm starting level 1.

Lol, if you play Nasus and don't know how to play against a Teemo, or any other counter, you shouldn't be playing Nasus.

The main way to survive imo and it REALLY works. Max E and rush a chalice. It seems odd but trust me. Your E harasses pretty well if you're maxing it and that chalice gives you MR and MP/5 to keep up with him. Then when you get Treads and visage he'll QQ and be completely useless.

Teemo is ap so he can't really cs as easily early on.

Doesn't really matter since he gets AP added to every AA.
