How to play against Nasus

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Freeze or slow push early to deny free Q stacks; punish every last-hit walkup.
2. Trade before his W lands or after it expires, then disengage before he turns with R.
3. Force grouped objectives when he catches side waves instead of matching his split push alone.
4. Kite backward during R and avoid giving him long melee uptime.
5. Keep carries behind peel when W is available, because one slow can decide the fight.

Where Nasus is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Nasus can be pressured before his scaling takes over because early wave control denies the stacks he needs.
• Nasus needs long melee uptime to carry fights, so kiting and disengage cut off his stacked damage.
