My Opinion on the Nasus Stack Buffs

Look. I know I'm not good at League. But I do have forty-eight days play time, which I don't think is a small amount, maybe it is relatively, but I don't know. Maybe these Nasus buffs are fine, but I just don't understand them. How is making it easier to get stacks on Nasus rewarding skilled players? To me it just seems like your making the character easier. I always thought Nasus was a scaling champ, like adc's or Jax, where your trading a good early game for a crazy late game. So it just seems weird that you'd make a late game carry into a mid game carry. On old Nasus, I'd have to farm perfect to get 300 stacks by around twenty minutes. Now if I where to do that, i could have like 350 or 400, or something like that. I just don't understand I thought Nasus was fine in my elo at least. There's gotta be some way that you can buff him for high elo without making him broken for low elo, I just don't think this is the right answer. If it is, could somebody explain?

What exactly is easier? He has to last hit a cannon, champion or large monster with his Q. All it take is a champ with some hard CC and you can deny him the cannon. Nasus will get wrecked by any competent jungler who is meta or better than him early game. Nasus has a pretty hard time getting kills early so the buff does very little for him. People just refuse to learn how to play or counter build/pick and complain about Nasus. Nasus needed better early game defense but they gave him a paltry 6 extra stacks for the cannon which appears once every third wave, large monsters where Nasus is weak as a jungler and kills which Nasus has trouble obtaining without jungle pressure.
