Talk:Nasus/@comment-26203093-20150318080102

I've got to ask the people who complain about wither if they actually get the mercurial scimitar, or just think that they shouldn't have to get a single item to counter someone, even if he is built around locking down auto attackers. I mean, I've played with a few adc's who will go a thousand games without altering their items according to their opponents.

That aside, I think the biggest problem is that a draw against nasus is basically still a win for him. You can't just kill him early - you can't just push till the tower is down; You have to put somebody in the lane against him who can keep him away from the minions for most of the game. Because he wins on a draw, he just has to build tanky to not get pushed out of the lane, and to cause ganks to take too long to finish him - which, of course, most people do. So which is the correct response? Stay in lane to try to stop him from farming? Trade lanes with someone who might not be that much better equipped at handling him? Leave top to join team fights? And would you play rock papers scissors with somebody who wins on draws?
