I've been doing some experimentation and discovered an interesting new role for Nasus: counterpick for mid Galio. Galio is a nightmare opponent for most mid champs who forces even dangerous early game champions into stalemate farm lanes. Galio doesn't have the damage to kill Nasus and the high ad damage that Nasus can dish out might force Galio into building armor more/earlier than he'd want to. A farmed late game Nasus is way more dangerous than a farmed late game Galio, and Galio gets lots of farm no matter who he plays against anyway.

After some preliminary testing he's able to do pretty much the same against Kassadin and Morgana. If nobody else wants to lane against them, then you can always turn it into a farm lane where nobody dies without ganks. Not as good as counter-picking with something that can kill them, but a good choice if nobody on your team is good with such a champion.
