Item changes are potentially huge Nasus buffs

Looking at the PBE item changes, I see that Sheen has a few relatively impactful changes that could be very, very good for Nasus, imo. The new stats are as followed (according to surrenderat20.net):

Sheen Cost reduced to 1050 from 1250 No longer grants 25 AP Mana increased to 250 from 200 Now grants 10% CDR

I think the new Sheen will be a must have first buy for Nasus now, whereas most people would buy Kindlegem or Glacial Shroud first for the CDR (depending if they were facing AD/AP lane opponent). Another change that I think looks really good is the Iceborn Gauntlet changes, which now grants additional CDR (up to 20%, due to CDR now on Sheen plus the 10% from Glacial Shroud), and slow area increases based on bonus armor, making it potentially more rewarding for building tankier.

A small buff at best you mean?

Triforce and sheen not having any AP now is a nerf. Champs like nasus and other users are indirectly nerfed from it

Just going to casually quote myself from another thread:

Well, he is actually buffed season 6 IMO. If you go 12/18/0 and take 5% CDR in runes, you can start the game with 25% CDR with a 45% CDR cap. gives 10% CDR now for 35%, and get like a to get 45% CDR really early. One of the masteries in the "green" tree called "Runic Armor" also increases your lifesteal among other healing. Having Runic Armor and and you can get up to 26% lifesteal from your passive. also will give 70 MR and 500 HP.

Don't build the now way overpriced (2800g) anymore.

I would go something like:

And then you look at the new Triforce and see all the ways they nerfed it on him (more crit chance, less MS, more expensive, etc.) and at all the new items designed to make his day a living hell.

Oh, and don't forget the Tenacity changes on Merc Treads!

Nasus could be built Iceborn now, but that kinda sucks as it lowers his duelling potential. Trinity gives much more damage. item 3025 item 3065 item 3111 item 3800 item 3143 item 3102 ?
