Nasus Rework

Can we get some love on nasus. I play as nasus, I play against nasus, it's not fun either way. There's way too much pressure when it comes to nasus. Either he get's a 1 kill lead and is just too strong to kill and just farms into his insane mid game, or he feeds his butt off, or his teamates feed and subsequentially he starts to feed the already fed enemies. If nasus get's ANY sort of lead he runs at mach 5 with it and completely dominates, whereas he get's dominated when he falls behind at all.

Nasus also counters many specific champions and is hard-countered with no hope of counterplay against certain champions. His lifesteal is borderline useless vs many champions and then overpowered vs certain champions. I feel as though nasus needs a rework that changes many of his fundamentals.

Let's look at his matchups:

Nasus vs malphite/maokai/etc nasus wins nasus vs attack speed user nasus wins nasus vs cooldown user nasus loses

nasus is so heavily reliant on his withering crippling the attack speed and movement speed of his opponent that he has absolutely no other defensive option in his kit. Nasus is pretty much malphite but a bruiser. I hope nasus get's a rework where he can potentially have his wither and spirit fire changed. Massively changing spirit fire into something similar to trundles movement zone but also making it slow opponents and reduce armor would be a great change and then changing wither into a defensive ability kind of like garen's W would make nasus a much more fair opponent to deal with as he no longer hard-cucks attack speed users, he no longer breaks your legs single target if he withers you, he can then teamfight as a frontliner because he has a defensive ability to help soak damage, and he can aoe slow in teamfights whilst gaining (significant) increased movement speed to gap close. Also lowering the early rank cooldown of his q to something like 6-5.5-5-4.5-4 would give nasus the ability to max a different ability and gain more stacks earlier so that he can scale a little bit faster. With these changes opens up potential viability to revert previous changes such as the +12 mechanic back down to +6, potential to remove or lower the half q cdr on ult, and make nasus a viable pick in all sorts of play.
