A common sense buff to Nasus instead of uselessly giving him roughly 100 extra stacks a game
Buffing his Q won’t change anything. He is still too easy to blow up late game in team fights and his current play style revolves around afk splitting forever and being an unstoppable duelist. You are only making him better at what he already does well while leaving him trash in areas where he doesn’t do well.
Here are things you can do to make him fit into the meta right now:
Nerf: Siphoning Strike bonus damage now only applies 30% of the stacks damage to towers. This means Nasus’ takes a hit in split pushing but is still a huge threat as a duelist and still maintains the capacity to take down structures quickly. He just doesn’t do it as well now.
Buff:
Buff his base HP by 65, buff his base armor and MR by 5-7.
This makes it so that people can’t come into lane, collect DH or run electrocute and auto him a few times, proc these keystones and then ignite and blow him up. He needs some durability to actually sustain but he can’t do it.
Secondly, and for the love of god please finally do it because it makes no sense:
Fury of the Sands: make it so that he starts off the bonus armor/mr per second gained at its highest potential and then each second, he lose a bit of it (I don’t have the numbers in front of me but let’s say he starts off at 15/15 level 1 and for each second he loses 1/1 respectively). Add this onto the bonus armor/mr he gets. As it currently stands, which makes absolutely no fucking sense and never has: he becomes tankiest when he needs it the least. By the time he can make use of those bonus tank stats he gets as his ult progresses, he’s either retreating, dead or his team has won. In any case you apply it, it is absolutely useless for teamfighting. If you want to make it teamfight oriented as opposed to being a straight buff to his 1v1, make his ult values dependent upon each enemy champion around him so his bonus defense is always relative to the enemy (yes I realize this is a wukong passive but it’s not nasus’ fault wukongs passive sucks to make up for his ridiculous ult).
You wanna actually fix Nasus, that’s how you do it.
