ward toplane, push minions into his tower, harrass him with range under his tower.

he will not get every lasthit nor will he be able to hit minions alot, making his sustain lackluster. sicne he has to hurry to kill the minions before the tower does in quite quick succession, he will only gain 1 stack per wave. once you have a gold advantage, freeze the lane, try to keep him away from the minions or use CC when he tries to lasthit (blinds, slows so the minion is already dead when he gets at it, wouldnt waste stuns for it tho).

this keep nasus at a gold-/farmstatus like most other toplaners, without being able to farm Q up, which makes him sub-par to any bruiser out there. ofc, you shouldnt leave your lane for too long, or he will try to start farming Q up again.

this strategy also requires your team to be able to 4v4 effectively without you, so if they feed hard and you have to come to help, it will cause nasus to farm easy and become a problem min35+
