Quoted:
Nasus is the kind of champion that just goes in there and kicks ***, and gets owned but during that time they waste all theirs CD's and damage on Nasus while the rest of the team can go in there and win the fight


isn't that the definition of tank? ^^

Mord have no CC and how can you class as a top tier tank without CC? he is more of a dps'er in my eyes...

Fully intentionally, just to give you guys a picture that Nasus actually is a T.A.N.K.
And yeah that's why I think Mordekaiser overrated as a tank, especially on this list.

I dont like Tanks that have no CC, everyone just ignores him. (That's the reason im not a fan of Mordekaiser... IF he gets focus first, the enemy team is just dumb... He is able to deal good damage,of course, but in my eyes he shouldn't be seen as the "main" tank of the team)
Tank with best CC in my opinion: Amumu

So thats why I love that little mummy :)

and Nasus... i dont know. I see him very very very seldom, and never saw a good one. Is he really such a good tank ?
sup bro.

I play Nasus pretty often, maybe here and there but amongst all my champs, he's probably my most played and I build him as a tank. DPS just doesn't help the team as much as tank would. And even as a tank, you're still able to 2v1 if you know what you're doing (late game). DPSus would probably just sit there and drop like a rock.

From my personal experience, Rammus is a great tank, especially late game, but early game can be a hassle, especially if the other team is caster heavy or can just harass you to no end (Hai there Miss Fortune!) But later, he can be near indestructible and a heavy pusher, easily nuking minions, especially since his ulti only has a minute cool down, and it can damage buildings!

I played a bit with Gragas, and while hes great for lane and minion control, as well as a bit of ambushing, I found I had a hard time pushing with him, but overall, he was great all around and generally had an easy time escaping back to turret or teammates for back up.

My brother played a pretty sweet Blitzcrank when he was free, and I have to say, hes great for ganking and general pushing. Hes got a great turret hug game too, since his rocket fist can yank overly agressive mooks into the turret were he can combo them till they wished they just jungled or took a different lane :D

About the only other character I've seen as a good tank on our team, besides a really good Shen, was Poppy, but like Shen, shes more for combat first, IMO.
Powerball special!

Rammus - Good for tanking and dealing surprising high amounts of damage
Shen - Good for slowing chopping people down and being everyone at once
Gragas - Fun to play but rather difficult to build for :/
Poppy - Situational tank with huge burst damage
Taric - Almost impossible to kill and can keep the whole team alive
Mordekaiser - Not as much of a tank as just someone who is really hard to kill and can pull off vast amounts of damage if played
Nasus - A sorta OH **** RUN hero but tricky to play
Alistar - Will Never Die and can heal his own team XD
Garen - Often called OP
Morgana - Get 3 RoA and you can inflict tons of damage and be very difficult to kill
Nunu - Great champion except his Ultimate can be either Awesome or ****
Dr Mundo - Probably the Tank I like the least, hard to kill but can't do a lot in my eyes, but maybe thats just the way I play him
Cho'Gath - Late game nothing can stop him, get Zilean and the Guardian Angel and laugh
Bliztcrank - Funny to use his rocket grab but overall I don't like him
Galieo - Excellent team player, ignore his passive and get an abyssal scepter ;)
Malphite - No real experience with him but he can be a pain and effectively has a flash that does damage
Amumu - Probably one of the best tanks due to Bandage Toss and his 2.5 AoE stun with damage ult

And Sion, Urgot and Udyr can be tanky too
But Urgot aint that great, Sion is meh and Udyr...
