I believe Nasus is tournament viable, however, I think the problem is that most players find him boring to play.

As we all know, Nasus must farm to be useful. Unlike other champions who can score kills and purchase item builds, Nasus needs minion kills to be effective. This means finding a lane (generally top) and farming is necessary. I think a lot of players, professional or not, think that's pretty boring. And even if you could win an important game using him, why wouldn't you use a different solo top champion to achieve the same result?

So I think that's his biggest problem. Although I wish players would understand that even if Nasus doesn't farm whatsoever and has a useless Q, he is still a useful tank and initiator.

Imagine a game in which Nasus has added 0 to his Q. If he still managed to acquire enough money (presumably through kills and assists), getting a Frozen Heart and a Frozen Mallet is still enough to hold opponents for your team to jump in. Yes, Nasus should have a farmed Q, but he's still useful even with absolutely no CS.

I wish more players would give Nasus a chance but I also wish he'd be reworked so that he's not so reliant on constant and generally boring farming.
