Potential Nasus changes

The big dog needs to be thrown a bone, and I thought of a few changes that could be made to make him a little more competitive.

I've listed them in order of increasing power, but not all of these changes would need to be implemented.

  1. Make epic monsters worth 9 stacks - this will mostly help jungle Nasus, but when Susan TP-ganks bot, this'll encourage taking dragon.

  2. Make Baron worth 12 stacks - Another QOL change oriented at the Jungle, but will reward him stealing Baron, too.

  3. Increase the range on his W and E - Restoring these will allow him to tag enemies from further away and get them where he wants them.

  4. Make the armor shred on his E scale or stack - Increasing the armor shred will make his Q more powerful and help the rest of his team out.

And now we come to the changes that might thrust Nasus into a Pick/Ban monster.

  1. Change Soul Eater to be +10/15/20% Life Steal and Spell Vamp - Make Nasus heal from his E, and boost the heal from his ult.

  2. Extend the duration of Fury of the Sands by 10 seconds per kill - Like Yi, help Nasus be able to clean up the enemy team. Only, instead of a prolonged Movement and Attack Speed steroid (which are Yi's forte), extra bulk and brawn.

  3. Decrease the mana cost for Spirit Fire - Making this ability spammable would allow Nasus to keep his enemies' armor reduced.

  4. Make Spirit Fire stack - Give Nasus, say, +1 AP for each enemy that dies within the area of effect. This would make AP Nasus all the more threatening, like a Veigar with a really big cane.

the only buff nasus needs is there should be smoke particle effects on his 420th stack.

Nasus also needs to shoot out missiles when he ults, and stun people surrounding the slowed person, he also needs 100% lifesteal because he's melee. He should have 0 mana costs on Q and have it 0.1 seconds as a cool down. These buffs should make nasus a good pick and make him healthy and balanced.

Nasus only needs modest changes. I do think reducing the cost of spirit fire is a good change. It is a high mana cost spell and Nasus always needs mana. All the other changes are a bit too strong. Nasus' wither use to go out farther but they reduced the range, so they won't revert that change.

He honestly just needs better base/scaling health and maybe a better way to gap close if he is well farmed. I wouldn't mind if his passive lifesteal was a bit higher earlier but scaled to the same later percent.
