Wouldn't call him that, honestly.

His passive looks like a ball of stats at first, until you remember he's a Melee Champ with no mobility. It hammers home his strengths in straight up fights with others and his weaknesses to good kiting and teamwork.

His Q is mechanically interesting in how it effectively scales on time, where other abilities scale in either gold or level.

His E can be played around of without having to deal with a stat check.

Effectively his main concerns with Statchecking are his W and his R, and even his W has some redeeming qualities in that its a single target lockdown and his only way to really catch up to targets despite the rest of his kit. Maybe an update at most rather than a straight rework would be enough to fix whatever statchecky problems you have with his kit.

He is hardly a ball of stats. A ball of stats indicates he has excellent scaling on all of his abilities and stat/level increases. As it is he has no where close to most other juggernauts defensive or offensive stats, no natural defense steroid or hard engage mechanic. None of his abilities are stat overloaded either. Unlike some champions that have whole chapters dedicated to each ability such as Gnar, Ekko for example.

Truly he has one amazing ability and without it being properly farmed the rest of his kit becomes irrelevant. The mistake you are probably making is baby sitting him. Doing this ensures that if the rest of his team is doing well then he is going to crush you and your team. You could roam and snowball your other lanes and cause much of his power to become superfluous once the team fights start as you can kite and peel him easily.

Truth is he is really well balanced for the most part and could stand some QL buffs to his base stats. If you are fighting a good Nasus chances are it is a main Nasus player. If you are stomping him no problem it is someone who just picked him up. There's rarely an in between for this scenario.
