Nasus vs Ekko Matchup Summary

The Nasus vs Ekko matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Nasus wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Ekko's 44.4%, giving Nasus a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Nasus dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Ekko players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Nasus leads by 1,031 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nasus players can confidently pick into Ekko and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Ekko away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility
0.7Nasus

Sustain
2,210Nasus
