Nasus is anti fun, Nasus is unbelievably boring.

His kit is so straight forward and boring, yet so very strong and even more boring. Playing as Nasus is ZZZZ, playing against Nasus is ZZZZ, I though Riot said they were against noninteractive snorefest gameplay?

I hate the fact that pushing into tower makes Nasus happy like a swine in muck. I hate the fact that freezing lane is more or less giving him free stacks. I hate the fact that I have to orient my whole game around not allowing him to stack, which he will regardless once he starts reaching critical mass. I hate the fact that once he have enough stacks and he will eventually, one single Q will eliminate any meaningful harass you do to him. I hate the fact that camping nasus is the easiest gamewinning strategy thanks to his permanet lockdown.

Can we please change this champions passive or find some other kind of way to make him more interactive? Perhaps remove his lifesteal? If Nasus wants lifesteal wouldn't it be better if he should have to buy it. Not be getting it for free and perhaps move his stacking mechanism and have that as a passive instead. I don't mind if we buff the rest of of his kit to compensate.

Anything to make the champ less of a snorefest in lane.

Guys, I don't like the way this champ plays, therefore, he is boring. Screw anyon else who thinks otherwise.

I think your post overstates the issue, though I do agree there's an issue. Much like Tryndamere, when laning against Nasus you kind of have to devote your entire game to him. Even if you shut him down hard from the beginning of the game, you still can't really go anywhere else except for the brief times you have Teleport up (and then you'll have to use it to go top again).

A lot of people enjoy playing as Nasus.

And although Nasus wants to avoid interactions early game, his opponent wants to force interactions. A lane with Nasus will typically be highly interactive, if the opponent to Nasus plays correctly. It's cat-and-mouse early game. Nasus tries to avoid fights, his opponent tries to force him.

The claim that a Nasus lane is uninteractive because Nasus just wants to farm is a non-sequitur; the opponent does not want a farm lane.
