Based on 55 recent matches analyzed, Nasus wins with a 52.7% win rate compared to Yasuo's 47.3%, giving Nasus a 5.5 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Nasus controls the early laning stage, but Yasuo outscales as the game goes longer.

While Nasus is slightly favored, Yasuo can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management.
