Nasus vs Nautilus Matchup Summary

The Nasus vs Nautilus matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Nautilus wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Nasus's 16.7%, giving Nautilus a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Nautilus dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nasus players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Nautilus leads by 1.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nautilus has a strong advantage in this matchup. Nasus players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Nautilus overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

620Nautilus

2.4Nautilus
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Nasus, with 1.7 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
2,097Nasus

This massive durability gap means Nasus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nautilus is forced to recall.
