In theory, yes it is that simple. However, lockdown and hard CC are a thing. And if Nasus ever does get close enough to the enemy adc to use Wither or outright smack him in the face with Q, then it will hurt. HARD.

Plus there's another strength of Nasus that not many people seem to recognize: structure destruction. With a properly farmed Q and a fully built Sheen item, he is one of the fastest and hardest late-game tower pushers in the game. Plenty of times I've literally walked up to towers ignoring poke, smacked it for about a third of its health, walked back, and repeated until the turret was destroyed even directly in the face of the enemy team. Nasus is vulnerable to kiting, true, but (a) a team he's against might be full of idiots who don't know what kiting is or may be mostly melee, (b) he can push like a boss, (c) he still hurts a ton in melee and (d) he has teammates.
