Nasus vs Vex Matchup Summary

The Nasus vs Vex matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Nasus wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Vex's 20.0%, giving Nasus a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Nasus dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Farming
4.7Nasus
4.9Vex
Nasus and Vex farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
789Nasus
1,056Vex
Vex heavily out-damages Nasus by 267 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nasus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vex's sustained damage advantage take over.

0.6Nasus
1.3Vex
Vex provides 0.7 seconds more crowd control per minute than Nasus, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Vex coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
2,306Nasus
669Vex
Nasus vastly out-sustains Vex, healing and mitigating 1,638 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nasus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vex is forced to recall.
