Quinn vs Nasus in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: Wither is the only way Nasus beats you — the moment it lands, proc Stormraider's Surge and the slow resist walks you straight out of it. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it
DO
Beat his Wither
Wither is his only win condition — it slows you then he canes you down — so the instant it lands, proc Stormraider's Surge and the slow resist lets you run to safety.
Bully him early
He has strong early sustain but is extremely weak otherwise — play bully mode while Stormraider's Surge is up, harass him and deny his stacks.
Save Stormraider's Surge after 6
Weave autos from level 6 and don't waste Stormraider's Surge — proc it carelessly and a good Nasus Withers the moment it drops and canes you; save it and he can't beat you.
DON'T
Never proc Stormraider's Surge carelessly before he Withers you — a good Nasus waits for it to drop, then Withers and canes you to death.
