In a way, his lategame isn't powerful unless he sits toplane for 40 minutes, which most Nasus players don't do, since they'd lose. A Nasus will usually only get to that super OP scary mode at the 50-60  minute mark, since his CSing rate goes down significantly once he leaves lane, its really his midgame which is super powerful, if he was able to farm in lane, since he hits really hard with his Q, and has still built very tanky. Along with allowing his team to baron earlier than normal.

Nasus is also balanced in that any ADC with any kind of mobility, you know, Ezreal, Lucian, Vayne. All destroy Nasus in teamfights, Lucian can remove Nasus' slow with his E, Ezreal can just E away from Nasus and kite him to hell, Vayne can just tumble and condemn Nasus until she destroys him. A competant support with basic peeling power, like Thresh, or Braum, or even Soraka, can destroy a Nasus trying to do anything. He has no gapclosers and is a purely melee champion. Which his only form of CC can be cleansed easily and is pretty much only useful against Auto Attack based champions.

Yeah, his Q is very powerful in theory, but considering how easy it is to zone him, and how easy it is to beat him should he stay top and farm all day, I'd say overall he's VERY balanced.
