about how bad he is in need of a buff?

Riot has talked multiple times about how they would like to change him, except any rework would most likely change his Q to not be infinite scaling.
I think they did a poll on it on the forum, and people wanted infinite scaling more than they wanted a rework.

Mana cost down on Q

Innate tankiness up

I think he needs a buff.

HOWEVER! I have noticed a new play pattern for some Nasus players. They will never leave top lane, and continuously farm and push. Each time, that Nasus player will get caught and die, but soon they are worth no money. At that point, they continue to farm and push some where where it takes 2 players to take him down. then it becomes a 4v3 in favor of the Nasus team.

Definitely not optimal, but I thought it was interesting anyway.

Nasus is really strong. You are insane.

He is fun the way he is.

He's not underpowered just a niche character.

If you don't know how to counter him he will dominate everything.

i think he means Draven

Riot said that they could buff him, but that wouldn't be without removing his infinite scaling on his Q and since Nasus veterans wouldn't like that (Riot said they were told) they'll leave the champ unchanged.

This was ages ago though. No news since then what I heard of.

(Dem ninjas. :P)

It's not Nasus.
It's the current item imbalance that makes some champs feel left out all of a sudden.
