What if Nasus resistances during ult were scaling with his number of stacks? (PBE)

Of course in a way that it ressembles the current values on PBE. Cause we all know Nasus very lategame (everyone 6 items) is kind of underwhelming for the iconic infinite scaling champion.

Random suggestion would be "10% of stacks" bonus resistances instead of 20/40/60 bonus resistances. Rewards Nasus for stacking and rewards opponents for denying stacks. Nasus can be more durable by stacking instead of being indefinitely an easily killable champion at 6 items no matter what stacks he has, even if built full tank.

And for the growing value, either keep it at 1/2/3 resistances per second or make it 5% of the initial value (aka 0.5% of stacks / second)

Tbh he'll still be killable, to have more than 100 bonus resistances which is still dealable with he needs 1000 stacks, which is impossible in a decent elo game. He needs respectively 200/400/600 stacks to reach the current values of resistances on PBE, so that's more of a nerf than a buff, though it actually accentuates the potentialities of his infinite scaling, which is the whole purpose of Nasus identity, lategame fantasy.

I think its a mistake attaching too much power to his stacks.

Infact, it already has too much, to such an extent that the rest of his kit has to be gutted because of it.

Really his stacks are not as much power as you think as it is tied to one ability that he can only apply once every 2.4 seconds. Unlike Viegar who get permanent AP on all his abilities or Scion who always has extra health.

Nasus needs his stacks to become relevant later in the game. He doesn't have several abilities that scale off AD like Illaoi, Garen or Darius or true damage to kill his targets. He needs to be durable though outside of his stacks. The durability is situational on his ult giving you clear opportunities of strength and weakness.
