How to play it

Never near his tower
His W has almost permanent uptime: caught by his tower, he keeps slowing you while slapping you with empowered autos.
Starve his Q
Your main goal is denying Q stacks: expect a mind-numbingly boring game, not a kill.
Tank build = no kill
Most Nasus build full tank, which means you definitely don't kill him: play for the rest of the map.
Never dump your full combo on him in a fight: he tanks it and leaves you rooted and dead afterward.
