I'm just saying I face NAsus all the time solo top and never lose to him.

I mean, I **** on Nasus solo top all day. I think he's pretty bad at it to be honest. Not even HSGG can really make it work.

I kinda agree. but again, who do you like to play as. i think he would do fine IMO, he's just not suited to face the solo top group. i think with the current meta of ap carry solo mid with ad carry getting babysat duo bot, he'd do well on the bot, because he's set up to be anti ad carry.

he's a great champ, i just don't think he's suited for the current solo top meta.

He doesn't really shine anywhere.

He can't succesfully perform any role well. As a jungler he falls behind in Q farm.

To stay in lane with most solo top laners, Nasus needs to level spirit fire. Then he can't effective level his Q either.

You've never faced a good Nasus in top lane then.

^^I agree with Duff, Nasus is basically only champion I can crush at solo top with Xin. Riot nerfed him to the ground so that's saying something. Don't give me the Xin is OP and he deserved it speech, if you play Xin you'll notice how bad he has gotten after his nerfs.

Mmhmm, bring it on HotShot, any Nasus player knows where to find me.

100% they will lose the lane to me.

Good Xin's are still a huge problem in TT. Riot doesn't measure it by that though, which is why Blitz hasn't been nerfed either.

@Duff

I think Nasus doesn't NEED to lvl SF up first. The mana cost is to huge to be worth it, you just need to play passive and free farm and wither them every time they try to harass/when you want to harass.

On the topic of who beats jax, Akali rapes jax all day long no question. I mean sure jax with gunblade guinsoos atmas will beat akali on most days any time in the game but in lane akali shouldnt ever lose to jax, ive been on both sides of the trade and akali always wins this lane matchup....matter of fact akali basically rapes u if ur melee besides Mr.Talon maybe.

i disagree. he has a slight niche: to counter a solid melee auto-attacker. that's his main purpose: to shut then down then farm his q to rinse and repeat. against most people, he's useless. he can counter like 3 champs out there...
