Key takeaways

  • Nasus is favored in this matchup: Nasus wins 76.5% of 34 games, and the whole 95% range (60.0–87.6%) is on the same side of 50%.
  • That is 24.6 points better for Nasus than both champions' overall Mid win rates predict (51.8%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 385, within the margin of error (34 games).
  • Nasus players pick Infinity Edge far more often against Diana: 3.1% of their other Mid games, 17.6% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Nasus and Diana played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Nasus's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Nasus Build vs Diana

Usual Nasus build (Mid)

71.9% win rate · 32 games

Against Diana

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 4 of 28 Nasus games against Diana carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Nasus's standard build instead.

  • Nasus usually completes Trinity Force first, at 14.0 min (median of 20 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
