Nasus vs Ekko Matchup Summary

The Nasus vs Ekko matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Nasus wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Ekko's 50.0%, giving Nasus a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Nasus holds a slight edge in both the early and late game, but the margins are thin enough that individual skill and jungle attention will often determine the outcome. Ekko can still find windows through outplays and team coordination. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Nasus leads by 1,114 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nasus has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Ekko'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.

Damage
768Nasus
849Ekko

Sustain
