He is really good. Nasus is really viable, but you gotta watch out for how the lane momentum is going A.K.A, if it's freezing on their side or on your side or if it's pushing to you or to the other guy. It's all about keeping yourself in the clear and farming well all the time so that you get your stacks up, then when you are at a pretty high number in the early-mid game (150-200-250 something between those three numbers), you could go for a tp play and gank botlane or midlane depending on what your team needs, you don't wanna be trolling your team, but trolling the enemy team is always good.

His mana consumption on his Q is low and he can stay in lane for about as long as he has access to minions. He can sustain a lot of things which is why he can stay longer than the enemy can most of the time. Unless it's like a vlad or something who can sustain off of you and doesn't need mana.

But I digress, he is viable.

Nasus is perfectly viable imo, though he needs to be in a favorable matchup. If he's against a Teemo, Panth or Vlad he will have a very hard time farming and won't have an impact later.

He's a great addition as a splitpusher too. There are few champs who can pound a turret as hard as a well-farmed Nasus.

Even against various bad matchups he can still do well because a lot of people don't realize that overcommitted harass = pushing lane = nasus freezing close to tower.

One thing you should keep in mid is that you CANNOT abuse your E in lane early game. It pushes. Instead, save it for when you're pushed into the edge of your tower (aka before it's in range to shoot minions) and when you see that the enemy wave will push up to the point you gotta farm under tower (thus risking resetting the lane) use your E on the creeps to make them weaker and force the wave to freeze at that safe spot.

He's not viable, but you can still do well with him.
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Could be because I'm at a low Elo (Silver, finally <3) but I think Nasus is super viable. He can be counter-played insanely but where I'm at a Nasus is almost a win. Might lose early game but if you;re smart returning late game should be no problem. Just don't let them have a Vayne and you should be fine.
