How to Use Nasus Counter Data
LoLGuru’s jungle page for Nasus ranks the counters that actually matter, drawn from ranked matchup data instead of gut feeling. At the moment, Quinn, Kled, and Volibear are the matchups where Nasus falls furthest beneath his average win rate. Quinn is the worst of them: Nasus has won only 40.7% of the 113 games recorded against her. On the other side, Locke, Fizz, and Pantheon are the champions Nasus beats most often, so they’re worth targeting during champion select.
Every card lists Nasus’s win rate in that matchup along with the sample size behind it. A figure drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come straight from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard, and over 52% is labeled Easy. They help with a quick read but aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the rankings shift as the meta does. For the strongest items and runes, see the current Nasus build, or open the Nasus champion page for full ability details.
