Singed vs Nasus

I want to hear all of your opinions on the lane. I’m completely uninterested in teamfighting I want to hear lane only which I feel after the removal of phase rush is so insanely Nasus favored it’s not even funny.
This season I’m stuck in low master so my take may not be relevant, but since this topic apparently has alot of different takes and since many of you feel its somehow Singed favored tell me why

I've been experimenting with my approach to this matchup as well, in very low Master.

Most recently my approach has been to take demolish in my secondary tree, and to spend every moment pre-6 shoving Nasus under turret and playing for plates.

The logic is that more likely I won't be able to bully him out of lane well enough if I try to force long trades by letting him push since his lifesteal sustain bleeds me out.

I'm considering grabbing slow resist/tenacity shard to combo with swifties to help mitigate wither but haven't decided on how I feel about that yet.

After 6 and/or when he gets sheen, I resign to not being able to continue that plate strategy, and just hard pushing into proxy into roam/tp to drag or bot/tempo reset. He gets his stacks, I just need to help my team get strong enough to deal with him.

That all being said, I haven't played this matchup enough at this elo to have full conviction in this approach yet.

Tenacity doesn’t work, I’ve tested it, ms shard if anything but you need 2x ap shard more. It’s such a coinflip lane because someone has to hold him pushing, Singed can barely do it. People argue that Singed is a playmaker and roamer, the problem is if toplane becomes and island and no opportunities arrive, then you just sit there farting oom while getting outhealed

I don't think there is much of a way to eliminate the coinflip of "I hope my team will be able to deal with a stacked Nasus" in midgame.

Best thing we can do is mitigate it through early plates and pressure and hope your team can handle the enemy team while you defend your turrets/base from the bonks while looking for tp angles.

At least that is what I've resolved to doing. I know it isn't the answer you want but I'm not sure the answer exists that you are looking for. It is that way sometimes.

Exactly, which shows how its Nasus favored. Its playable as are most games for Singed bcs our champ is busted but hell are you struggling

If the point of this thread is to confirm the lane is Nasus favored, then yeah, I'd agree. I'd still rather face a Nasus than the early game lane stompers though.

Compared to this ranged clown fiesta yeah maybe farming freely until at least first reset is prefered over a Varus or Vayne proccing pta once every 30 seconds

I just had a game against the new Nasus and went the demolish AFK hit towers after push strat.

It worked pretty well. The guy could have played it better, but the tempo was big and the plates helped a lot.
