Nasus is a Juggernaut

Well, yeah. In the article Riot made to explain what a Juggernaut is, Nasus was literally the example they used to both explain what a Juggernaut is and the standard that Juggernauts should be held to.

But it really seems like Darius and Garen are intended to have decent early games, where Nasus has a horrible one, but transitions into an amazing lategame if he can survive long enough

Which is actually kinda funny because he actually peaks in the transition from mid to late game. By the 35 minute mark, usually when the hyper carries are in full DPS mode, he slowly falls off.

A further interesting point being that he has a 51% win rate before 25 minutes.

nasus doesn't have amazing late game, he only has strong mid game, and only if well stacked

Well, let's see the reworked juggernaughts and compare them to Nasus

Juggernaughts : High Base AD up to about 140-160. Nasus : Base AD up to 119

Juggernaughts : Great AD/Total AD scalings Nasus : AD is literally the worst stat you could get on him, he gets AD off his ult and has no AD steroids, his Q benefits way more from CDR/triforce.

Juggernaughts : Health ratios/good synergy with health (free resists for Garen, %missing health heal on Darius) Nasus : 0 synergy with health (free health with ult, lifesteal based -> he wants resists)

Juggernaughts have therefore a good synergy with item 3071 item 3748 item 3053 . is usually a core item. Nasus has a bad synergy with it (health, very long to proc. Cdr is cool but it's the only good thing for Nasus on that item). What's all about? Crushing other frontlines that get in your way. Nasus can't get this item, he's stuck with a bruiser build, which is good against? squishy champions, even if Nasus is extremely kiteable.
