I've actually had the same idea for a while, about Nasus going AP. Not mid, but top. Would make him a great farmer and teamfighter. But well, im gonna keep my vote for now, will read the guide again tommorrow, have no time for it now.

I can't think of a single matchup where nasus can lane favorably. You will get 100% abused in lane by every single mid with no chance of fighting back.

You seem to fail to understand everything he just mentioned. Plz read and try out builds before you nock them. I have my own ap nasus guide that I made in July and I never lose mid lane as ap nasus.. his [Spirit Fire] just hits too hard for any mid to have a chance. Its very hard to be 100% abused in lane when you are 100% abusing them. They can never harass you because you have them constantly at 1/4 hp trying to dodge your huge aoe.

Again... Plz try a build before you knock it. Then you could say, "I was 100% abused in lane," and give a little credibility to your fail instead of saying, "you will get 100% abused," and not really having a clue... makes you look unintelligent.

AP nasus actually destroys none mobile mid laners. Spirit fire hits really hard, and he can farm as well as anivia with ult with spirit fire.

Coupling that with Q stacks when you can get them makes a seriously viable bruiser/ap laner with nice hybrid damage.

+1 I like it. Tried it, seen it by other players, and gg. GJ, keep it up.

You havent seen it because it's very taboo. If you win people call it a fluke and if your team loses they will always blame it on you for playing a champ they haven't seen. It doesnt matter how well you do in lane, if your team loses, they will blame you.

Im not saying believe me by any means.. I'm just saying to try it out before you make a decision.
Obviously I like my build more than this build so im not even condoning this build, im just saying try it out.

Taboo builds largely get flamed hard and bring out the trolls.

AP/bruiser AP nasus trades very well, especially with a chalice and scaling natural MR, as spirit fire starts to punish anyone who tried to trade with him.

Example lanes where Nasus does well:

Evelyn
Diana
Anyone who has to get up into your grill.

I just think you should try it a few times (maybe even in an ai match) to see potential it has.

I've always been a fan of unorthodox builds, because sticking to the meta makes people sheep. Anyway I think I found my new favorite build! Love the detail, the reasoning, the items, well done! Now I just have to wait for PBE to open up so I can go destroy things.
