The old issues with his early game was he was being harassed to hell by pretty much any ranged, and a lot of melee top laners. With the rise of SS CDR in masteries, tp, and general pushing as the toplane meta, Nasus' early game has been made easier. He does well under tower because of his Q farming, and should he ever need to back, he can always tp into lane to avoid losing out on cs or experience.

I think however, the biggest thing that is affecting Nasus' earlygame, is the playerbase. Most players I've played against, BARELY harass him, they occasionally all-in, but usually get nothing, so they give up, they don't bother. I've played against passive Teemoes in lane before, it was very strange when I started 1v1ing him at level 11 because he hadn't even TRIED to deny me farm.

I'd still say his early game is mediocre at best, he just works better with toplane meta now than he used to.
