What if Nasus got stacks just by using Q on champions?

One of Nasus's biggest problems in lane is that his main damage ability is the same ability that he has to use to farm. This is one of the reasons that Quasus (E max) is usually better than Q max -- you can use spirit fire to clear waves AND damage your lane opponent at the same time. What if Nasus got +3 stacks just for hitting an enemy champ with Q? That way he would get punished less for trading with Q in the early game. I think the biggest problem with this idea is that Quasus would be too strong, since the only downside to E max is that you get fewer stacks because you're trading so much.

+1 for hitting them, +6 for champion kills, +3 for assists provided he hits them with at least 1 Q

maybe that would work

This would actually be a horrible idea. Like, this champion forces people to babysit his lane, and has the same playstyle as tryndamere. He shouldn't be rewarded for being so incredibly annoying. if you want to buff his Q, nerf his wither.

That's why Nasus maxes E 1st. (I think they still do anyways, I dont know anymore) You just farm with Q and poke with E.

This would be what needs to happen if Riot were to nerf E max Nasus: give Q the Veigar treatment.

Nerfing the other parts of his kit would mean that Q stacks have to be relevant and either stack much faster or lose fewer stacks when you have to fight other champions.

Thats completely unnecessary. His Q and ability to stack are perfectly fine. He's supposed to be weak in lane. His issues are actually his lategame, and complete lack of teamfighting ability.
