I seriously don't know what Nasus current state is. Some say, he's borderline overpowered because of his infinite damage potential, some say he's underpowered because any champ other than another Nasus can bully him out of lane.

But what's holding Riot back from giving him a small buff? Let's take a look at Jax:

He has a super powerful lategame when he has acquired his items and is nearly unstoppable with them. With a bit of optimism Nasus has such a lategame, too.

Now Jax has a more or less acceptable early game and his way to reach his 'critical state' of being an unstoppable force is through items which he can get through killing someone and farm.

Nasus earlygame on the other hand is terrible. He will be zoned if the enemy player is competent and even if his jungler is coming to gank and kill the enemy top laner Nasus is still losing his lane. Why is that the way it is? It's because of Nasus way to become an unstoppable force like Jax. He has to farm but to farm he has to play against another player, maybe more. (Jungler, mid etc.) Nasus can't kill his enemy because he gets no damage from the items he can buy with his gold but he also can't build damage because for that he has to farm. What would Jax do if he would be in that lane? He would kill the enemy and proceed to farm his lane. Nasus cannot do that.

Conlusion: Nasus earlygame < Jax earlygame; Nasus lategame = Jax lategame
