I noticed something about " Tanks "

Tanks are only ment to be a meat shield/ CC power. (obviously) but they are NOT ment to carry your team.

If you play Nasus tho and you stack correctly AND build correctly you have the power to delete squishys AND be tanky, only problem is he doesn't create CC but instead he has a HEAVY utility. I can see why Nasus is something powerful...

In the end I don't play him because I'm bothered by Trick2g/Sirches with their "Gate"/ "D Cane" hype / Fan base. lol

Point: Tanks can't carry a team but Nasus can.

Maokai - Single target root, AOE knockback, AOE damage reduction for your team.

Sejuani - Aoe damage, AOE CC.

Malphite - AOE massive knockup ultimate, Reduces the AS of his enemies, Single target slow.

Nautilus - AOE damage, AOE damage, AOE damage, AOE slow, Single target point click knockup that can't be dodged.

Singed - Single target flip, AOE slow, AOE damage, STEROID.

Etc, Etc, Etc

NASUS? - Single target Q, aoe W that deals close to no dmg late game, Single target slow. Only his ult should be considered something that is worth as an AOE.

Unless you build Mage Nasus. Then your Spirit fire just blows up people, but sadly you don't have the tankiness to survive in order to deal you damage if you build AP

Definitions like you have for what a tank is are baselines. Every champion deviates from their baseline, with some doing so more than others.

Thats something unique to Nasus though, its sort of his thing, an infinitely scaling attack.

Important to note 2 things

1.) Most tanks have VASTLY more CC than Nasus (who has none outside of his rather impressive slow)

2.) Anyone will do damage if the enemy is squishy enough, heck Malphite can take over half of your health lategame if he drops his rotation on you (as well as crippling your DPS if your an AD carry)

Nasus is a healthy tank IMHO, and he gets focused in all games and regardless of gear can die very quickly.

He is more of a bruiser than an actual tank. A "Tank" is someone that has plenty of CC that can help your team, but all he has is a single target slow.

Ever played against a fed Amumu? Or Darius? Hell, I played a game today where a Mundo jungle carried their team (that guy was freaking unkillable)
