Barely anyone plays Nasus at a high level - he is so difficult to build up Q stacks on when you are up against someone competent in lane and a Jungler devoted to shutting you down.
The basic counter vs. Nasus is to allow Nasus to last hit the first 2 or 3 minions to cause the wave to start pushing, then to zone him / deny him at level 2. You can do this with a lot of ranged Champs, to the point where he can have 30 minion kills in 15 minutes without significant jungler help.
Because Nasus's mana costs are so high, if he tries to use Wither or Spirit Fire, he will go OOM within 5 minutes.
I've had some success with weird builds on him vs low burst champions (start as potion master Nasus in lane) and have life steal quints or armor quints. But if you're against a Teemo or something, just lane swap. It isn't worth the pain.
Master Yi is pretty fun to use, but like any melee glass cannon assassin, when teams learn focus him, he really falls off hard. He works great vs. low level disorganization though.
