I don't understand why many people pick Nasus into Cho'Gath when I go top with him. Nasus may be a counter to Cho during lane phase, as it's difficult to deny Nasus' farm; but Cho'Gath's kit is one of the best to peel a Nasus off a carry. It's always the same thing: I know that I can't deny Nasus farm; so instead of being agressive, I just farm myself, stack armor, then I use Rupture and the silence to protect my carry from being killed by Nasus.

It's like picking Nasus into Singed, or Maokai, or any CC heavy tank for that matter; you outsustain them during lane phase, but then is CC'ed to death if you try to get into their carries. Stacking armor means that Nasus will not do much against the frontline either.

Two champions that can too, outsustain Cho'Gath, but are much more effective: Vladimir and Trundle. Vladimir outscales Cho'Gath, and while he can lose the early game, he always wins late game, and has better teamfighting potential. Trundle steals Cho'Gath's tankyness and his pillar make him an easy target to focus, since he has no escapes.
