Playing as Nasus

Tips to maximize your impact

Last-hit with Siphoning Strike
Last-hit minions with Siphoning Strike (Q): each kill with the spell permanently increases its damage, by more on large minions and champions.
Wither their carry
In teamfights, cast Wither (W) on their carry: the slow grows stronger over the spell's duration and also reduces their attack speed.
Fury of the Sands as the fight starts
Cast Fury of the Sands (R) as you enter a teamfight: for 15 seconds, you gain health and resistances, damage nearby enemies, and Siphoning Strike (Q) comes back faster.
Farm instead of forcing early
Early on, farm rather than force trades: Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks are permanent, and every minion you last-hit makes you stronger later.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Deny his farm early
Early on, take a trade whenever he steps up to last-hit a minion: each kill with Siphoning Strike (Q) increases its damage for the whole game.
Freeze near your tower
Freeze the wave near your tower: to farm with Siphoning Strike (Q), he then has to step up and expose himself to ganks.
Wait out his storm
Once he hits level 6, don't engage during Fury of the Sands (R): for 15 seconds, he gains health and resistances, and his area damage scales with your max health.
Hit him while backing off
In teamfights, if you're ranged, hit him while backing off: he has no dash, only Wither (W), a slow that grows stronger over time.
