Nautilus vs Nasus Matchup Summary

The Nautilus vs Nasus 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 players can confidently pick into Nasus and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Nasus away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
2.9Nautilus
2.5Nasus
Nautilus edges out Nasus by 0.4 CS per minute — a moderate farming advantage that adds up to roughly 5 CS over a 15-minute laning phase. This translates to earlier component purchases and slightly faster power spikes for Nautilus.
Damage
620Nautilus
528Nasus
Nautilus heavily out-damages Nasus by 92 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 Nautilus's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
9,549Nautilus
10,496Nasus
Nasus generates a commanding 947 more gold per game than Nautilus. This substantial economic advantage means Nasus consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Nautilus should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
2.4Nautilus
0.8Nasus
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. Nasus should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,432Nautilus
2,097Nasus
Nasus vastly out-sustains Nautilus, healing and mitigating 665 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nasus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nautilus is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Nautilus, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
