Strickly speaking I can very much say that Poppy's Q is superior to Nasus's, in lane. Nasus's Q is not impressive at all until he has farmed creeps. Even getting 20 creeps only raises it 60-70 physical damage. And does nothing for anything not his Q. Poppy at level 9 has a few points in her W Which makes her regular attacks strong and her Q stronger.

She is also doing mixed damage. Magic with the Q, physical with auto which makes it tough to defend against.

Lastly if Nasus is only farming his Q he is not harrassing back, anybody can harass Nasus during the early game while Nasus is farming his Q. Nasus CAN fight back, but to be effective he needs to drop E and possibly his slow. to do damage. At which point, nasus does run into mana problems. Allowing Nasus to sit there farming his Q all day is a recipe for failure no matter what character you are playing. But if you are going to let the top lane do that, then it is far more dangerous to allow a Poppy to sit there and farm to her hearts content, for the first 9 levels, than a Nasus.

Now, please read that carefully, If you let Nasus farm indefinately, then no Poppy would probably not hit as hard as Nasus as a very late game Nasus is a character to be feared (I know, I play both these characters often). . but she could arguably destroy a team faster than Nasus with the same amount of farm.
