Nasus has to be my fav LoL champion.... I haven't played in quite some time but I remember those games where everyone is kind of forgetting about you and your just farming up top, not getting into any trouble. And then, if all goes right you get that sweet sweet moment when two of them decide to gank you and you stand your ground and they realise you are actually beating them and Q slap them so hard... I've had several games where you focus on farming so hard that your team starts raging until you 1v5 the enemy team and you just completely crush anything and everything that stands in your way.

good times, good times.

Honestly, I just max spirit fire in that matchup. That way you don't get absurdly behind on CS or lose your tower, and spirit fire damage adds up. Downsides are obviously that you are going to be constantly pushed up, and you won't get much Q farm, but how much were you going to get in the first place against a teemo.

Haha yeah I had a couple of those games when my team kept blaming me for afk farming and then when teamfight start and you 2 shot the carries they're all happy again

Teemo just rushes BotRK and what do you do?


Be glad he didn't get AP so his shrooms don't obliterate you? I honestly feel like him getting a BotRK isn't that big of a deal unless you're really far behind already.

I may be wrong, its not like I've played the matchup more than 5 times this season.

played nasus for the first time ever and experienced exactly this...and they 1v2'd me intentionally (voli/rumble)...eventually all their dives failed (no kills either side) and voli went to jungle smiteless...caught up in cs quick and farmed Q to i think +300ish...pushed in top then finally started joining teamfights. holy fuck. q surprised ME...let alone them. 2 shot a gragas...

i started dorans shield / pot -> tiamat -> hydra -> swiftness boots / trinity force. is that ok or what should i have built?

I think you can delay the tiamat, as it pushes the lane while you just want to eat as many minions with your q as possible at that stage in the game.

Before the triforce buff, I went for IBG/Spirit visage first. Haven't played Nasus in a while but I'd consider going for Triforce, Spirit Visage, Frozen Heart, Hydra and maybe a Warmogs.

Nasus toplane I always start a Dorans shield, then rush to either glacial shroud (vs ad) or spectres cowl (vs AP), then I rush a triforce. After that, I finish whatever I ended up buying first (cowl or shroud) into an IBG or spirit visage, then whichever won I ended up building, I build the other one. From there it's situational -- usually something like an Omen for the teamfight slow. If I build a damage item on Nasus it's not until my 2nd last or last item because as long as you farm your Q enough in the toplane youll have okay damage with great survivability and tankiness in the midgame teamfights. And even still, I'd almost go for something like a Banshees veil as my last item. If it does end up being damage it's something more like Last Whisper rather than a raw damage output item.

So whenever I'm Nasus top lane it's in my best interest to ALWAYS start Doran's Shield?

Because that sounds pretty good to me.

or cloth 5.

or rejuv bead+ward+pots (?) although I'm not sure how often/why you really need a ward since you never push early.

And your W plus tankiness will stop a lot of ganks. So rejuv bead start is not really necessary.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

Against anything that's not an AD caster, yes.

Against AD casters, start cloth 5.

^^

nasus does tons of damage with just CDR and sunfire. even though triforce is good on him, it's almost always better to get your tankiness up first, with trinity being your 5th or 6th item if you get it at all, as one offensive item is usually enough and it competes with last whisper for that slot.

One damage item isn't always enough. I faced an enemy team that had Trundle/Zyra. Building purely tanky would have been a mistake, because Zyra was fed and had void staff/liandries extremely early, and Trundle just stole half of my resists anyways.

Ended up going Triforce/Hydra/LW after SV/FH. Worked pretty well, as getting on top of them wasn't that difficult because Trundle was busy murdering the squishes on my team, and I murdered his squishes faster with that many offensive items. Prior to getting the Hydra, most were getting away with a few hundred health and just murdering me while their teammates wailed on me.
