Shaco vs Nasus Matchup Summary
The Shaco vs Nasus matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Nasus wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Shaco's 42.9%, giving Nasus a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Nasus controls the early laning stage, but Shaco outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Nasus needs to press advantages before Shaco reaches their power spikes, while Shaco should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Nasus leads by 1,946 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nasus has a strong advantage in this matchup. Shaco players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Nasus 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.

If Shaco survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
