The opponents who give Nasus trouble, and how to handle each one.
Where these numbers come from
They are pulled from the mode's own files for patch 26.16, the one currently live. The source is community-run rather than an official Riot API, and the game shifts with community votes, so a gap with your own game is always possible.
He pokes you from outside your reach, blinds you the moment you try anything, and his mushrooms make moving around a chore. You are not going to touch him in lane, so stop trying. Your only goal is the counter: sit under tower, collect every last hit you can, and buy magic resist rather than armor. Get your jungler in early, because a Teemo without vision is a dead Teemo, and remember that late in the game he can't do anything to you at all.

Jax wins the duel at every stage of the game, and he scales as well as you do. Never let him engage with his wave bigger than yours. Wither is your one real card: timed properly it deletes his attack speed and flips the duel completely, wasted it condemns you. Hold it for the instant he leaps on you, never before. Over a long game, play the split push instead of the duel.

Two champions who want the same thing: a quiet lane. He pushes harder early and his silence cuts Siphoning Strike at the worst moment, so respect his trade window. But he doesn't grow the way you do. Farm, absorb, and refuse the duel while your counter is low. Past a certain threshold you beat him straight up, and he has no way of stopping you from taking his tower.
