But unlike *any other %max health damage* Nasus ult damage is over time, applied every second and that for 15 seconds. He possibly could deal 45/60/75% of a champions maximum health as magic damage just by standing near to him. If he can stick to this target for so long naturally, but it doesn't change the fact that it's pretty damn strong. If it wasn't capped for champions his ult would be simply broken, because he could shred the enemy tanks just by standing in front of them. Plus his Q smashing during ult AND his new % armor shred.

Most other % health effects don't have caps against champions because they are one time bursts (in most cases, Mao's empowered children are an exception) and the numbers aren't even near the potential of Nasus' ult. And against most squshies this cap doesn't even have an effect since they will only have around 1900-2500 health in late game and 5% of that doesn't even come near the cap.
