"Hahahaha don't get hydra on nasus. nasus has no AD ratios, already clears well, and doesn't rely on burst damage to kill enemies.  Nasus gets nothing he really wants from hydra."

Nasus has AD ratios. They're called auto-attacks. You know, those things his Q enhances? And that your beloved BOTRK lets you do more of?

But yeah, Nasus gets nothing he wants from Ravenous Hydra... except teamfight presence, extra pushing power, extra lifesteal, extra health regen... wait, why was this a bad idea again?

Honestly, there are precious few melee AD champs that Ravenous Hydra isn't a good idea on. It just has something for everyone: more burst if you're bursty, lifesteal and splash damage for teamfights if you're DPS-y, health regen if you're bruisy... there are a few melee champions that Blade of the Ruined King is usually a better option if you're choosing between the two, but it's a very short list.

Also, since when do bruisers love attack speed as a general rule? Sure, there are some who do well out of it, but given that most bruisers are pretty casty by nature... raw AD and armour penetration are usually more important. Nasus definitely falls into this category more than the other.
