About Nasus' resurgence in popularity: There were a few big changes all in quick succession. Spirit Visage, the stacking mechanic making jungle Nasus more viable than it was before, and at the time, the biggest one: Nasus' Wither (along with other spells) were buffed at one point to have increased range for the duration of his ult. Nasus got played in the LCS jungle and he suddenly became huge when people saw just how ridiculous that Wither was at increased range. They've since reverted that particular buff, but I think people realised that Nasus is still really strong at what he does, which is a thing that happens a lot. People assume a champion is completely unviable, they receive a buff, they suddenly become immensely popular, the buff gets regressed a bit, but people who like playing that champion still feel good about playing it. Kind of like Ahri recently, or Nidalee jungle.
