Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Nasus, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Nasus wins 51.8% of 139 games (95% range 43.6–59.9%).
  • Both champions' overall Top win rates predict 49.4% for Nasus; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Tryndamere usually wins the lane: 722 gold ahead of Nasus at 15 minutes on average (137 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Nasus players pick Plated Steelcaps far more often against Tryndamere: 29.3% of their other Top games, 43.9% 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 Tryndamere 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 Tryndamere

Usual Nasus build (Top)

90.0% win rate · 10 games

Against Tryndamere

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 16 of 97 Nasus games against Tryndamere 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 15.1 min (median of 68 games).
  • Tryndamere usually completes Yun Tal Wildarrows first, at 12.4 min (median of 39 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.
