Decay on Nausus stacks

Imo i feel like if nausus's stacks decayed after a certain amount of time would it bring more balance to the game since late game hes a monster even when he gets shut down hella hard in lane early.

When that change happens they might as well delete Nasus all together he would be useless. He would be a walking health bar with a respectable slow skill and nothing else. Yes Nasus can stack large amounts of damage but we all know how to avoid it, stop him early. Hes hard to kill so work with your jungler to shut him down. Even if that does work the important thing is to just avoid him late game and don't commit when he ults. I play a lot of Nasus myself he might have high damage but he is so easy to read that anyone can escape. Wither is strong but you just have to know to get away if he withers you and you happen to be alone.

To be honest what should be changed about Nasus that I've found to be what secures most of his killing sprees is his naturally high movement speed. Having such a strong slow via Wither that has a pretty slow cooldown its honestly not necessary for Nasus to be so much faster than 90% of his targets so he can continuously wither them. I know it will be a big blow since he has no gap closer, but as a super tank who can stack large amounts of damage and can super slow a target also reducing their attack speed its not necessary for him to also be able to stick to his target so hard even without them withered.

Lower Nasus' movement speed a bit so that as a super tank with damage he needs to rely more on his wither to force a 1v1 duel and he will be fine. Personally I build Trinity Force on my Nasus and the rest are tank items, but the movement speed from Trinity Force added to his natural movement speed makes him extremely fast. And the only time I need to use wither is to secure a few seconds of dps (understandable) but after that his movement speed alone secures another few seconds of dps and I end up re-stacking withers until I get the kill.
