At the very least, if they're insistent on keeping 'passive' buffs to the left side of the screen, maybe they could change it so it places them right to left over the champion information, instead of left to right. That way, it's still separated like they seem to want it, but it's also a bit closer to your 'active' buffs so your eye doesn't have to travel as far away from the main screen.
EDIT: And does it really put Nasus' stacks at the left side of the screen? I'm under the impression that they'd want most champion-specific buffs in the main part of the screen (Like Maokai's Passive stacks, for instance).
