I concur with the first response. Nasus doesn't have any early game weakness against pretty much any top laner, with exception of Renekton, against whom nobody is strong early game, and perhaps Riven, who was in her own special state of broken.

The problem with nasus isn't even that his Q becomes really strong - that can be dealt with. The problem with Nasus is that he has more stats loaded into his kit than pretty much any other top laner in the game. Any other top laners have a 50% AS slow... that lasts 5 seconds? Any other top laners have a free 600 health, 75% max health shred, 300 AD steroid? Any other top laners have a magic damage-over-time-plus-high-initial-damage-AOE-armor-debuff? Any other top laners have 20% free permanent lifesteal?

His kit's really loaded, and the skill floor is right next to garen.

The S3 and S4 strength of Nasus isn't the Q - that's the strength of nasus in general. The strength of S3 and S4 Nasus is that he has so many free stats it's simply impossible to fight him. He could have 200 stacks and still be able to 1v1 almost any equally fed top laner.
