Alternate Nasus Buff Suggestion

I love playing Nasus, the juggernaut playstyle is just what I enjoy the most. However, the buff currently on the pbe is probably too much. It's a pretty simple buff, but I think it messes with Nasus' scaling too much. He's supposed to be the quintessential late game fighter/juggernaut, but this buff makes him scale muuuuuch faster then he probably should.

Instead of just increasing the number of stacks from large minions/monsters, what if he buff was this instead:

New Ult Passive: For every 100 Q stacks Nasus' total stacks are increased by 5/7.5/10% (based on Ult rank).

This way his early/midgame don't benefit too much, and his late game gets the power buff it needs

Thoughts? Am I completely insane?

This would rarely happen, but wouldn't this give him infinite stacks once he has 1000 stacks and has it Rank 3?

I feel Riot has decided to focus on his midgame because he'll always be terrible late game as folks start grouping and taking advantage of his low mobility.

I feel the notion of Nasus being an unstoppable force come late game hasn't been true for a very long time. It's a relic of a simpler time back in season 2 or so when nobody really knew what they were doing or how to properly take advantage of his weaknesses. Back then farming up 2000 stacks and 1 shotting was enough, but now...not so much.

reduce his W: Wither slow by quite a bit and make it a ground move.

From 47 / 59 / 71 / 83 / 95% to 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40

Have his Q refresh a second on His W's CD.

Have his E: Spirit Fire Doubling the slows amount. (Reduce the damage of the ability)

Nobody seems to get Nasus's problem. His problem isn't getting fed off stacks. His problem is simply that he's useless in teamfights. He has no hard CC, no innate tankiness, no mobility, no way whatsoever to get onto squishy carries. Unless he's fed to the point where he can literally 1v5, if his team is behind, he'll have a hard time.
