It's possible in theory. But it isn't possible in reality unless u gear up for it. Nasus's Wither range is 700. Kayle's Reckoning is only 650 in Range and her Ranged AA is only 525. Nasus can stop her before she goes on a rampage against him.

I've recently found out that maxing E is the most optimal way to beat him earlier on cos his Wither's nerf has made him at least manageable to a degree cos ur AS isn't crippled much anymore. It'll me like facing the Dragon's AS slowing attacks. The funny thing is I used to crap on Nasus until this season and the reason for it was cos I raised E first always rather than Q like everyone else. I only started focusing more on raising Q lately cos everyone made such a hype about it. I've literally been bandwagonning unintentionally.

But as I was saying, Nasus just slows Kayle down before she can even land a hit on him. It's not that much of an issue early game now. But from mid game and onwards it becomes problematic if Nasus managed to farm abit. Now add in the fact that from that point on, Wither at max rank has a CD of 11 seconds and Nasus can easily create items that let him max his CDR to a cap with Iceborn, SV and Iron Solari or some other needed 10% CDR item. His CDR on his W would be 6.6 seconds and Wither lasts 5 seconds in total. Add onto that Iceborn Gauntlet's freezing Spellblade proc, unless u got an escape related dash tech on ur Champion or TP to a building, he'll kill u without much trouble.

Seriously, Nasus may not be the Strongest Late Game Champion like Sion, but he is the most consistent Late Game powerhouse cos he has the safest farm potential and once he even gets a gear or 2, the game is over unless both of the other lanes on Nasus's side are overly fked over.
