Buying Thornmail is kind of a bad idea. Frozen Heart is almost as good against AD champs and much, much better on Nasus otherwise. Anyway, ranged ad champs counter a lot of melee tops, but not this guy. Nasus is easy to kite and harass while farming, but really dangerous when he really wants to fight. His natural tendency to build armor, high speed, excellent slow (+AS nerf), high AD and life steal mean that 15 minutes into the game ranged ad champs have almost no chance of taking him on 1v1 as long as both have anywhere near similar amounts of gold and xp.
