@Riot Can Nasus get the veigar treatment

I have been wondering if it is possible to have Nasus Q gives stacks on assist. You did this for Veigar in patch 5.18 as a quality of life change. I believe it would make sense on Nasus as during teamfights you don't have time to last hit champions when you are peeling and zoning for your team. It doesn't make sense that Nasus has to KS his carries during a fight for his kit to work.

Nasus is strong enough, no?

It doesn't bother me either way. Nasus gains 3 stacks (or 6 on large) per last hit with his Q. Veigar gains 1 (2 per large) AP when Q kills an enemy, and larger amounts of K/As.

Nasus doesn't really need the stacks in teamfights - he'll be much happier if allies just let him Q the cannon when they're pushing the wave after the teamfight...

He could get it, but it probably wouldn't make any kind of difference. Nasus doesn't get a large stack bonus from getting kills with his Q in the same way that Veigar gets a large bonus from getting kills in general. Nasus gets a much higher percentage of his stacks from minions than Veigar does.

Basically, I don't really think this is the kind of QoL buff he really wants. A very small increase in stacks for fighting isn't going to change anything, and it's not going to make enough of a difference to feel good. I already feel no particular desire to specifically go for Q kills in a teamfight, so I don't see much of a need to fix that. This would be more akin to if Veigar got the 2 bonus AP from a Q stack every single time he got a kill or assist. I'd rather extra power be added in ways that would feel better than this. I mean, this wouldn't be bad, but I think we can do better.
