Only played it from 
Darius' perspective and I do really like that matchup. I don't think Nasus can win the lane against him if he wards and trades properly. I'd probably max out Spirit Fire second to clear creep waves faster because Wither isn't all that effective against him considering his low cd Q and W being an AA reset.

Game 27:
"If light travels so fast, how come it's never caught a ninja?"
Thought Process:
With
Nasus and Leona banned, I fell back on Shen. Again met with a Shyvana lane which was again, not exactly scary. I'm beginning to wonder why she's top tier top. Blah blah rushed Sunfire Aegis rabble rabble throatslasher's guide.Game Summary:
Complete and total stomp not even worth highlighting. It was pretty sad and they all gave up pre 20 minutes.
What I learned:
My MMR is now in mid gold-almost plat. So that's pretty cool.
Things to work on:
Nothing that game. Had dead on perfect ults every time.
Questions for MOBAFire:
Are absolute stomps boring for you too?
Game 28:
"My journey's only beginning."
Thought Process:
I wanted to try something new for jungling, and I saw
Pantheon mid and Gragas top lock in, thought Wukong would be a good pick. Ezreal has concerns that I would build full DPS, but I assured him I would be tanky as Gragas and Pantheon alone were enough damage. I rushed Spirit of the Ancient Golem into The Brutalizer, then Randuin's Omen and Spirit Visage. I followed up with Black Cleaver to help Pantheon and Ezreal out with my ult shredding things. I wanted to finish the build with a Guardian Angel or Ravenous Hydra.I went flat AD Marks and Quints, scaling MR with 9/21 masteries. Obviously leveling
Nimbus Strike then Crushing Blow second.Game Summary:
This game started off bad and it was long and rough, but the come back was so epic and so worth.
So,
Thresh was super ham and kind of stupid saying doge memes in chat the entire game. it was really obnoxious. He gave Jinx like 6 kills in lane, but Ezreal and I managed to atleast get Leona and a couple times, Jinx in return. Jinx was fed as **** but Ezreal wasn't doing too badly either. Gragas was dominating Irelia. Like straight up man handling.Sadly
Pantheon was losing to Ziggs and I tried to help him but he died every time and Ziggs got away.Fast forward a bit cause everything up to this point was us getting owned hardcore.
After the enemy team got baron twice and 4 dragons on us, we started to think we might lose. They had Baron still and they got up to our inhibs but miraculously they threw by diving us instead of sieging and we aced them.
The team fights were so scattered. Me and
Pantheon were in the back killing Jinx while everyone else peeled for Ezreal. We snuck baron when it came back and we started charging mid. I saw Ziggs way behind his team, saw my opportunity and struke. Flash'd into him and ulted, he ****ed up his satchel charge and by then the team murdered him. By the time we killed Ziggs, Pantheon had already cut off Jinx and we proceeded to murder her too. The enemy team conceded right there and victory was ours.Things I learned:
When it worked, the
Wukong ult, Pantheon man drop combo with Gragas ult to keep them in the area was devastating.Things to work on:
Our team fighting was borderline noob the first 30 minutes. Had we not picked it back up so hard, we'd have lost.
Questions for MOBAFire:
Thoughts on my
Wukong jungle build? What do you think of him as a competitive pick?
Games: 29&30
Thought Process:
I was testing new top laners that I don't play much, even though I know they are very strong. used the same runes and masteries for both
Olaf and Renekton with flat AD quints and marks. I picked Olaf specifically for the Riven match up cause as far as I know he ***** on her (I was right), and I first picked Renekton cause why not, and Rumble wasn't that scary.Game Summaries:
I've been working so forgive me for not remembering much about these games. All I know is that I **** on the enemy laner in 1v1 both times and died a lot in team fights cause I was being too manly. xD
Things I learned:
I can stomp on even high gold top laners, regardless of them outfarming me.
Things to work on:
Farming and team fighting with these champions.

1. Don't let getting fed bait you into poor decisions, engage smartly. Enemy wants to 1v1 you when you're ahead? Make sure everyone is accounted for on the map. Catch someone out? Get a kill fast or wreck their health and try and force a teamfight afterwards. Little things like this and a good mind set win high level games.
2. Top lanes whole point now has become trading and csing. Division doesn't make too large a difference, smart lane matchups and smart trading should leave you ahead of them with more kills and more cs. If it comes down to you having 3 kills above them but 10 behind in cs, be happy with it, but also take note you probably messed up after killing them by not pushing the wave and then backing to deny them cs.
3. I would suggest Renekton highly, even with his incoming nerf, he has more viability than Olaf top, and tends to be able to do more in team fights. If you want reasons behind Olaf Top vs Olaf Jungle, take a peek at LCS, OGN, and some other LoL events. (Nintendude is a great Olaf jungle to look at)

Thanks for the advice, NateDog. Helps a lot. :D
No prob man, glad to help. I struggled down the road myself and wasn't getting a lot of help from people and it frustrated the hell out of me. Finally I started actually taking it seriously and researching consistently as well as watching tons of streams and taking as much as I could from everything. Took me 4 and half months to go from bronze 1 to plat 1 (almost diamond yay! ^-^). I was extremely frustrated a lot of the steps of the way. Didn't help with that lp clamp either x).

Well game 31 was a bust because my client crashed un then refused to "update" due to an unspecified error. oddly enough the game was still "running"... or I could hear the game sounds... even if the client wasnt up. So being gone for 15 minutes pretty much ****ed the entire game. Series games are evil.

Questions for MOBAFire:
How would you have gone about this matchup? Having not done it in forever I lost pretty terribly, but I didn't die a lot, just got zoned into eternity T.T.
