Anyone got any tips for playing against Yorick top as Nasus? If I play passive and just farm, he can harrass me, and if I'm trying to trade damage I'm losing Q farm and he's usually out-sustaining me.



wat
Nasus is like the hardcounter to yorick t.t
just farm his minions and build defensively
after 30 minutes your Q will be 9000 and after like level 5 his harass does nothing through your lifesteal on his ghouls

Does Nasus Q work on Yoricks ghouls(giving you the boost i mean)?

how are you speccing? Yorrick's damage makes me lol when I spen 20 Armor from runes, 0/21/9, open cloth + 5 -> CDR boots -> Glacial Shroud and just Q on every CD. I'd level E 2nd in case you need to shove the lane back to buy at points, but nasus's sustain is strong enough that he should crush Yorrick IMO.


Yeah, I don't really have the runes for Nasus yet, need armor. I opened Doran's shield usually but cloth + 5 would work out better.

Only hit 30 recently so all my IP goes to runes, I should just give up and spend actual money on champs -_-


EXTREMELY helpful rune guide: http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=5693

I hope you had been saving your IP, but if not the 10 win IP boost should help. Here's what you should get as a fresh 30:

Reds: 9x armor pen (410 ip), 9x magic pen (410 ip)
Yellow: 9x flat armor (205 ip)
Blue: 9x flat OR scaling MR (205 ip)
Quints: 3x AD OR armor pen (1025 ip), 3x flat AP (1025 ip)

The total cost to be able to play any generic AD/AP/jungler is 17,220 ip. You can even grab halloween quints for half off the quints.

EDIT: flat armor yellows are probably the single best rune investment in the game. For a mere 205 ip each, you get runes that are necessary as junglers and AD carries, and almost always used as solo top. Dodge is 4x as expensive and a lot more situational, and mana per 5 is a lot less useful overall.


Cool tips, thanks. I've been building a few sets since 20 (MPen, scaling mregen, flat CDR - bought health quints about a year ago, immediately before they got nerfed -_-) but I'm trying to branch out beyond just playing support or AP.


Sigh I hear you. I did the exact same thing - bought ArPen / MPen / scaling mp5 / flat CDR / health quints exactly one year ago at around level 28 or 29 (so I had no extra IP for anything else), then quit the game. Came back 2 months ago, found out my yellow, blue, and quints are basically useless.

Oh also how do you avoid taking hundreds of damage when trying to lasthit a big wave under the tower? Do you have to line up your attacks with the tower shots in some way? I always end up drawing aggro when I attack a minion at full health (for the auto-tower-auto lasthit).
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Noob question: I don't understand the lane-role meta very well. Solo top are generally tanky, and often melee. Why do teams never put hard carries like kog or cait on top, to harrass the solo out of the lane and draw the attention of the jungler? Or am i just completely mistaken?

Cause your bruiser at bottom would get equally shat on like theirs top, making dragon control much easier for the team with AD+Support bottom.

This being said, lane switches have been occurring pretty often as of lately in competetive play. Teleport makes a huge difference, but then again: who wants a ranged AD carry with TP instead of Exhaust?

Things you WILL occasionally see top are Corki and Vayne, but that's about it.

Minions follow the aggro rules also--if a minion attacks you because its target died and you were the closest target in range, allied minions in range will aggro to it.

There is no rule that you must have a bruiser on your team.
If you dominate top instead of just freefarm for both, teleport isn't as important because the enemy top won't be very strong when he teleports in for Dragon, and you will be strong enough to take top tower if he leaves.
There also is no rule that the ranged AD has to take Exhaust. It's good, but not mandatory. Other champs can take it just as well and still exhaust the same enemy at the right time assuming they position properly.

Kog isn't soloing top because he will just get crushed by the enemy jungler. Vayne can do a lot better, as does Teemo, but people are just too focused on the current default setup. It takes some thought and flexibility to do other setups. Sadly you can't expect that in solo Q.

I'm pretty sure that's not what happened when that cannon minion randomly switched targets to steal a cs. The enemy wasn't close enough to the minion in question to draw aggro from it.

I totally agree that the current meta could need some switching up, and I wish people would experiment with stuff like 2 ranged AD no bruiser. A few things to consider though, in my opinion:

- A bruiser usually synergizes better with the rest of your team in teamfights than another ranged carry would (assumption)
- The enemy teleporting in might not be very strong, but he is still THERE. It's still a 4v5 or at least a 4v4,5.
- Taking the tower might work once, but I doubt the enemy will teleport in with a wave pushing near his 2nd turret.
- I know there's no rule for exhaust, but I'm pretty sure you'd gimp your laning heavily without it. Also, relying on someone else to exhaust someone diving you in your usually pretty dynamic teamfight is pretty risky.

All those things being said, I do not doubt switching things up could work insanely well. It would probably just need a team practicing this stuff, and that's basically what we lack right now.

Pretty sure if you ran double AD ranged your team would get shit on by the other team if they were smart. Like, an Akali or Talon would have a field day. I guess if you had 5th pick then it could sometimes work but you'd need to ban out assassins and would probably want a tanky AP carry (Swain, Ryze).

Unless you really want to specialize in AD only, the 5 that you've listed suffice.
