Nasus gets buffed way too hard way too often to continue to suck - Small rework?
I'm not the kind of guy who likes reworks, but Nasus has a track record of getting tons of buffs, being really strong for a patch or two and then fading back into irrelevance even if he's not even catching nerfs directly. I feel like a small update is in order to help stabilize the champion so he isn't superbly dependent on a very specific meta coming together to make him good.
Given that Nasus is currently back to being kind of trash - where his "best players" are averaging out at an astonishingly low 50% win rate whichis a huge red flag if mains are just barely scraping by on the champion, I think soon would be a good time to give Nasus a more committed tuning.

EDIT: To add, while Nasus hasn't gotten buffs recently:
-
He gained a power shift (net buff) on his R that changed it from converting damage dealt to bonus AD to gaining Armor and MR over time. Huge defensive boost when combined to his sizable HP gains from the same spell.
-
E was changed from flat shred to % armor reduction. While this nerfs his value against squishy targets, it becomes MUCH stronger against tanks and bruisers
-
R gained an enormous damage buff in that it reduced his Q cooldown by 50% while active.
Despite all of this, Nasus never sees the spotlight in soloQ for more than a patch at best before he slowly creeps out of it again.
