So what if pantheon was ganked? he would shield leap to a ward withered and laugh to the jungler? Pantheon nor riven counter nasus. They are squishy and they are straight AD champions, first back they come to lane with a brutalizer (10 armor pen), then nasus arrives with 65 armor at the same price (and nasus has teleport). They are innate lane pushers and squishy at the same time.

Finally, they are extremely risky picks, if they win nasus can (and most of times will) still have a comeback. If they lose (because they were ganked or were out sustained or the nasus was better) nasus will kill them on sight for the rest of the game and they will be a liability for their team.
