Not the author's. This is a 0/21/9 defensive top-lane Nasus page, matching the author's Ninja Tabi, Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, Warmog's Armor, and Randuin's Omen core. The Utility points support Flash/Teleport uptime, lane mana for repeated Siphoning Strike farming, and movement for staying in range after Wither. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.
