Yasuo
Yasuo is one of the few champs in the game that can beat you early. Fortunately, Yasuo top is rare. If you see the enemy team picking Yasuo top, either counterpick with Darius, or if they picked against you, just farm safely with E and poke if he stands in his minion wave. Once you hit 6 and get some items you can win the 1v1.
Champion Build Guide
This is a very unorthodox Nasus build, but it's without a doubt sleeper OP. Essentially, you spam E in the early game to poke your opponent to death, or force them out of lane. The purpose of this build is to sacrifice lategame runes (such as conq, legend tenacity etc) for raw early game power. Traditionally, Nasus is the champ that gets punished hard early, but if he survives til late he can end the game by himself. This build setup allows you to completely stomp most champs in the early game, in order to guarantee you get your items on time (and you will end up solo-killing your lane opponent a LOT if they don't play smart against you).
By taking Comet + Scorch + double adaptive minor runes + Doran's ring, your E does absurdly high damage and will basically oneshot minion waves from level 1 to level 11, allowing you to hard shove. This forces your lane opponent to take minion aggro while CSing, or farm under turret where they will lose CS because of your E poke. They will either be forced to recall, or die under turret.
The downside to this is that Q-stacking is harder to do early, because your rank 1 Q has a very long cooldown. This tradeoff is worth it. Traditional Q-max builds tend to get bullied out of lane really easily. A few extra stacks on Q is NOT WORTH being 40-50 CS down. By hard winning the early game, you opponent won't have any pressure on you during the midgame, allowing you to stack Qs freely.
