Only viable Nasus in ranked above 1700 elo is lifesteal Nasus. Run flash+heal for bait lane, flash+exhaust for late-game domiantion. Start out with +6% from runes, +3% from masteries, +14% from passive, +10% from vamp scepter and dominate top. Have to be very aggressive and MUST buy wards, cause for the lifesteal youll have to push at least a bit against hard match ups. Stats so far:

Total domination: Lee Sin, Irelia, Shen, Darius, Renekton, Riven

Challening: Olaf, Teemo, Yorick

Countered by: Jungle Nocturne, Pantheon and Shen due to their ability to bypass wards and gank, Twisted Fate for same reason.

Games won on ranked (approx 1590 elo at start, 1725 at end) 23/31, top lanes won on said games 28/31.

I kid you not if the enemy goes aggressive like Lee or Shen, you totally dominate. With 33% you get 22 hp per basic AA on a minion, by level 6 a single Q gives back 2-4 bars, depending on farm. Not sure why no one has tried this, but it is extremely viable. Plus, when the enemy sees you're not failing your top, ganks will focus on me, so bot and mid have an eaiser time. Best thing is when I kill both the jungler and the topper when baiting with ult + heal.

Just my 2 cents.
