I've been playing tank Nasus in all my games so far, building something like this: 0/17/13 - (meditation and utility mastery are far too good to ignore IMO) MPen / Dodge / CDRplvl / Flat HP Cleanse / Ghost QWQEQR // R>Q>E>W Mana Crystal + 2 HP Sheen Merc Treads Banshee's and/or Thornmail GA -whatever- Yeah you want those armor pen runes. You also want some CDR on Nasus but I think it should come from masteries. My rune setup is something like Armor pen reds, Mana regen /lvl yellow and blues, Flat HP or move speed quints. Nasus can benefit a lot from the MS quints because it helps with positioning yourself well in team fights, is great closing the distance enough to cast your wither on someone when chasing or ganking, and with movespeed masteries and some items it helps him push lanes deeply then running away or back to your team. Masteries I go 0/9/21 or 9/0/21. The former is better for a 1v2 lane because you take Strength of Spirit. Combined with your Doran's shield you'll have great HP regen in the lane so you can be a little more aggressive in going for siphon strikes. | ||

My apologies to my TL Inhouse team - never have I failed at a lane so hard | ||

On another topic, I've picked Olaf after I realized that I suck too bad to play Tryndamere (what can I say, I like berserkers). I've been trying a tanky build with Frozen Mallet, Atma's Impaler and then as much extra health as I can manage (Sunfires or whatever). I'm not too sure how I feel about the Atma's though. Anyone have tips on a tanky Olaf build? Also what exactly is the deal with Tryndamere? Is he considered underpowered in general or is he really just that difficult to play well? I went 7-0-1 one game before I ended up disconnecting, but most every other game I've played is like 2/8/x or something equally atrocious. | ||

I go QWEEER etc. Especially in a 1v2 lane because it allows you to farm super easily without being harassed. I run mp5/level runes in blues and they are enough to let me lane efficiently. Myopia / Ruken I think you guys misunderstand his role / his strengths. He is best as a strong TANK farmer. Sheen is good on him, but the mana crystal is a waste to open with, and far behind a dorans shield in utility. 400 gold is not a lot of money, especially on a char that has no problem farming. I build him dorans > boots (merc usually) > aegis > phage > trinity, allows for a lot of survivability and a good damage output for mid-late game, which is when nasus really starts to shine. | ||

I went 7-0-1 one game before I ended up disconnecting, but most every other game I've played is like 2/8/x or something equally atrocious. Trynd is generally considered very UP. His late game is considered monstrous, but getting there seems to be impossible, so the net result is that people consider him to be bottom tier. For Olaf, I don't play him, but from the good ones I've seen, I'd say you should do something like open cloth armor + 5 hp pots HoG + Boots phage vampiric scepter upgraded boots (his ult makes merc less appealing, so I have no idea, it's probably situational) Frozen Mallet GA Starks Omen ...or something. I dunno, I see Mallet + Starks as the damage output items on him and from there you mostly need Armor/MRes to make the most of the HP from Mallet. you also should be jungling with him for the record. | ||

He's a tank, just an off-tank and yeah his farming/pushing is maybe the best in the game. I wouldn't open mana crystal and wouldn't build sheen first. It leaves you far too squishy and that stuff doesn't cut it once you start playing good opponents. Doran's shield is my favorite starting item but Ruby Crystal is also a great choice if you're building an Aegis or rushing Catalyst. I just think he needs some sort of early survivability item before he starts on his core build. Edit: Oh and I think he can fill a few roles, but he's best at being a tanky support champ that will deal lots of damage in team fights, help the team with his auras/debuffs, and shut down the enemy carry. | ||

I play tank olaf as: apen/health/mres per level/health runes 1/16/13 masteries ghost/smite summoner spells skill order is: WQ and then R > Q. If you prefer burst, Q > E > W, if you prefer DPS (especially for tower raping) Q > W > E. I typically go R > Q > W > E Item order is doran's shield -> giant's belt -> chain mail + negatron (in either order) -> ghostblade + sunfire cape (in either order) -> guardian angel Open by taking golem, then go lane with axe + blue buff. Use your smite on big minions or to jungle to keep yourself farmed the rest of the game. Run in with ghost/ult to demand attention, and focus enemy carries. | ||
