depends on what you like to play. irelia is a lot of fun against other melee chars.
they get a few hits in, a stun or slow...then you just E/W and win
haven't really played karth/vlad/vayne.
So, I've had 10 buddies sign up for LoL with me as their reference so I get a 975 RP champ, between Vlad, Irelia, Vayne, and Karthus, who should I go for?

Irelia is one of the best tanky dps in the game
Go for her.

Why would you use RP to buy a champ? Just play more games
One of the worst graphical glitches is when health bars from champions disappear and you can't see them anymore. Makes targetting low health chars harder for either killing or healing.

Nasus is such a beast now. I am curious if they'll keep him like he is or nerf him back down. I might pick him up.
He unlocks a " tier 3" or 975 rp hero for his referals
I know you're a big garen player. I was too for awhile. You should look at Wukong if you want to add a similar style hero. If you want AP brand and oriana are where its at.

I thought he was a good champion before the buffs. No surprises here.

Before buff nasas is a beast of you let him farm up alone at top, now he's probably gonna be a insane pub stomper.

Summoners!
We have heard your concerns about champion IP prices, and know that many of you are looking for more affordable options to round out your champion lineups. Fair enough! In an effort to satisfy these concerns, we're going to be rolling out a series of brand new initiatives aimed at bringing you some more bang for your proverbial buck.
For starters, as you've already seen in the past few weeks, we've begun to reduce the prices on many of our older, more classic champions. Beginning back in April we slashed the IP costs of Malphite, Morgana, and Ryze, with Cho'gath, Taric and Annie following shortly thereafter in August. You can expect to see more of the same for many more of these old favorites going forward. This is all part of an ongoing plan aimed at ensuring that we have a strong, well-rounded compliment of affordable champions available for any play style.
Additionally, if you're looking to get your hands on some of our more contemporary additions to the League, we're also going to be offering a series of new bundle deals. We'll be trying out a number of different options in the future, offering everything from champion variety packs to bundles themed around specific roles.
Stay tuned for more updates on these and future deals!
Riot talks their new champion pricing strategy:
Yah, nasus really needs solo farm though to build his siphon strike. Without that then he's still pretty worthless late game. He can do well enough at bot lane with a support char that isn't trying to get too much farm and if the enemy is melee based as well. Otherwise good range chars will harass the shit out of him to prevent him from getting the farm needed to build his siphon strike. He's still pretty squishy early game.
Late game though with that massive buff to his lifesteal and a built up siphon strike... that's just nasty right now. I was playing him and managed to get +300 built into his siphon strike. With a triforce and infinity edge, atmas, and warmogs, I had like 400 AD I think. That was 400 + 300 + the base damage it add all on top of your auto attack. Something like 1K damage. Crit strikes were for 2.5K. The life steal from that alone was enough to let me wade into the middle of a team fight with the his going and not have to worry about really anything.
He's a BEAST if he can build up his siphon strike that much. It takes 100 last hits on minions to get that high though. You can insta pop any squishie character like that though. Of course veigar can do something similar as well with his Q. The difference is veigar stays somewhat squishie while nasus doesn't. Then again veigar has that stun ring and range while nasus has to get up close to the action.
So while I think the buff was a huge improvement for him, I don't think it's as awesome as people make it out to be. He's easily stopped if his laning opponent(s) is smart enough to prevent him from Q farming. If so, he becomes a lackluster bruiser damage sponge that can be ignored for the most part in team fights.
Nasus, while better than before, will still have the same problem of being kited too easily by anyone that knows what they're doing. Like you said once you can deny him farm for his Q he will be very medicore in terms of damage output. Sure he might be able to tank it up but he has no real tank skills. Though that new jungling nasus might mitigate some of his early game issues since I've seen some jungling nasus farm it up in the jungle unharassed but even then I feel it's iffy if your team isnt holding the lane well.
