I'm glad they are looking at him, but 100 more hp tied to rank 3 ult of all things is not going to do anything for him. I can't tell if they are scared of what a respectful buff would do to his performance in low elo games or they just don't care about this champ. If it's the former then that is pretty hypocritical of them since champs also regularly get buffs/nerfs for their influence (or lack of) in the pro scene.
A good start would be to make his lifesteal apply pre-mitigation and give him base stat buffs and possibly a lower cooldown on q.
And it is just sad when you see aatrox can gain access to 20% lifesteal whenever he chooses to put one point in e while having a much stronger laning phase, in contrast nasus has to wait till lvl 13. A change made from a time when he was very difficult to bully out of lane.
