In the current meta his strongest and most optimal lane is Top where he can free farm Q and eventually hyper carry mid to late game. His Jungling is also perceived as above average as his jungle clears become quicker as his Q stacks surge past 200. His scaling is excellent for mid to late game. Considered a bruiser/tank roles he's a strong initiator that can soak up damage in the front lines while providing excellent peel for adcs and Ap champions alike. The only offensive item you need to build is either a Triforce or Ice gauntlets for damage and chasing. Everything else depending on the enemy team comp is generally spirit visage/ frozen heart / Sunfire etc... Depending on how laning phase is in your favor, generally CDR boots would be the best to cap your 40% cdr for Q strikes. If you have 10% cdr including your own masteries and runes then build either merc boots or Ninja tabi for the extra armor / mr. Overall he maybe a little weak pre-6 but with patient farming and defensive strategy he snowballs extremely quickly and level an enemy base late game in about 20 Q strikes. Nasus is generally played Top passively to farm Q then post level 6 becomes more of a threat with his ult.
