... First of all: Sorry, I have to acknowledge that I went too harsh on you in my previous comment.

He's an anticarry, and given his kit and common build, an anticarry who actually zones you by letting you harrass him, so yes, there's little that you can do as a carry against him. You'll have to get an antitank with true damage or a good defense-shredding in order to kill him, Olaf can trade well against him, and I guess that Darius should be able to bully him.

Whatever the latest buffs are, he can't get too much use of crit chance, so he has to rely more on the improved Q farming, which still doesn't makes too much of a difference. He has been pretty much like this all the whole time, what is more, he doesn't fits in the current meta because he has no use for Warmog: I can tell you, that Nasus you faced just built it so his teammates couldn't flame him, but it's a terribad item on him. And about the rest of the build... Pretty much the commonly-spread Nasus build, I've seen far better builds that should've posed a worse nightmare to you.

Deny his farm early and call your jungler often, so you two can snowball on him with his great lack of escape mechanism, and Nasus will be old egyptian history in that match. He's pretty much like Trynd and Jax: Humble to terribad early games, but kings of lategame then (Actually the three strongest lategame guys around). That Nasus had five items, so he reached his late, which means that all hope should've been lost, but as said, that's just what would've happened with Trynd and Jax, yet nobody dares to call Trynd "OP" anymore, and although Jax is really strong, he requires some skill, so there are like 1 good Jax for every 10 bad ones. What Nasus requires is somebody calmer than a monk on morphine, who doesn't easily panics when he's getting destroyed and can ignore his team's cries when they ask for roaming so he can focus on his duty: Farm and become a living nightmare later.

Do you understand now why he has to be that strong? I hope that this helps you if you face another Nasus someday: Evade him if you're the ADC, let your offtanks take him down.
