Ornn vs Nasus

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and durable trades to avoid giving Nasus free scaling space.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Nasus from freezing near his tower and stacking safely.
This is a control vs scaling matchup where Ornn must deny Nasus's passive lane to reach late-game teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Trade around (Q) terrain and (W) brittle procs, avoiding fights without terrain for (E) knockup.
Punish Nasus when he overextends without (W) slow available.
Avoid extended trades before your first tank item and level 6 to limit Nasus's stacking and damage potential.

Danger windows

Beware of Nasus's all-in threat after he gains significant (Q) stacks and activates (R).
Avoid fighting near (W) slow range without an escape plan.
Be cautious of extended trades post-level 6 where Nasus can outlast you with (R) and sustain.

Early game

Use (Q) to create terrain and threaten (E) knockups only when safe, avoiding extended duels before tank items.
Apply (W) brittle trades to chip Nasus's health without overcommitting.
Keep wave control to prevent Nasus from freezing and stacking (Q) safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for long-range engage when allies can follow up or Nasus is cornered.
After your first tank item, absorb trades better and focus on stable brittle trades rather than all-ins.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) durability and stacking threshold; disengage extended fights to avoid repeated (Q) damage.

Win conditions

Deny Nasus safe stacking by controlling wave position and punishing overextensions with (E) knockups.
Reach your first tank item and level 6 to leverage durable trades and engage potential.
Use your crowd control and item upgrades to create impactful teamfight engages and picks, preventing Nasus from splitpushing safely.
