Melee-only, with one effective gap closer/CC, a weak (and expensive) AoE nuke that overpushes on minions, and a sweet ultimate.

To be effective, Nasus NEEDS: Mana Regen, Movespeed, Attack Damage, CDR, "Tank" (Armor/Magic Res/HP)

If his character granted ALL of that innately (which it doesn't; he isn't even a tank when out of his Ultimate), he'd be OP. But he barely gets a third of it.

Nasus is an odd sort of Fighter-Mage; one of the only true multi-role characters left in the game. He lacks the AP ratios to be a truly scary mage, but makes up for it with his Siphoning Strike and Wither.
