Heimerdinger vs Nasus Matchup Summary

The Heimerdinger vs Nasus matchup is a very close matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 47 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 51.1% win rate compared to Nasus's 48.9%, giving Heimerdinger a 2.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Nasus controls the early laning stage, but Heimerdinger outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Nasus needs to press advantages before Heimerdinger reaches their power spikes, while Heimerdinger should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Nasus leads by 2,107 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Heimerdinger has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Nasus's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Nasus dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 54.5% win rate — a 9.1 percentage point lead over Heimerdinger. This lopsided early game means Nasus can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Heimerdinger is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 56.0% win rate — 12.0 points above Nasus. Extended games heavily favor Heimerdinger, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Heimerdinger survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor.
