Give nasus the veigar treatment?

Nasus is pretty broken right now, and it could arguably be because of klepto coin, but I think he can use some power readjustment regardless of the fate of klepto and coin.

Tie his Q cooldown to number of stacks he has?

Perhaps something like -10% base Q cooldown for every 75 stacks?

He doesnt get to auto win level 6 anymore, his lategame infinite scale fantasy gets a bone toss, and E max nasus which is an inherently toxic ass playstyle gets nerfed, 3 birds with one stone.

He's being played again, and some people either were not around or just didn't learn how to play against him last time he was strong.

Sure he's strong now, but if you know how to handle him you're fine.

Im seeing a 52% win rate there, which is only slightly above average.

~7% play rate

~53% win rate

for such a traditionally low-elo champion, those suggest maybe something is at least wrong. I don't know any specifics though, I only know the stats not the situation

He has a rather long window with his ultimate where his defensive power goes up and offensive power skyrockets. His R lowers the cooldown of his Q to the point where trying to brawl with him can mean certain death, and once Nasus starts rolling he doesn't stop. If you know how to bait out his ultimate and you pay attention to what it's cooldown should be you'll know when and how to properly fight with him.

He is a bit on the strong side and could use a small nerf, but with the way people are talking about him it's like he's 1v5ing in the enemy fountain.

I had a feeling it was something like that. I was aware that his ultimate Q cd change and thought it seemed like a really...stupid change/buff. I knew it was gonna be problematic for awhile.

I'm not surprised he's become such a powerhouse and I assume it shoved some of his counters under the rug, but I really just don't think he's as problematic as the gameplay boards make him out to be (so nothing unusual). Neither my imagination or stats indicate he deserves anything more than an adjustment or shift in power.
