Kha’Zix vs Nasus Counter Pick

Nasus moves at 350, one of the highest base movement speeds in the game and quicker than Kha’Zix’s 345, and he carries a slow to go with it. Wither decelerates both movement speed and attack speed over its duration, which is the cleanest possible answer to a champion whose kit is a sequence of approach, burst and exit. Kha’Zix falls to 46.3% across 993 games on patch 16.13.1.

• Siphoning Strike grows permanently with every kill it lands, so a Nasus who survives the opening minutes keeps scaling regardless of how those minutes went.
• Spirit Fire reduces the armor of anyone standing in it, and 32 base armor rising to 103.4 leaves the assassin little to spare.
• Fury of the Sands grants health and attack range while damaging everything nearby, turning a 125-range fighter into something dangerous to stand next to.
• Soul Eater supplies passive life steal, so trades Kha’Zix wins on damage he can still lose on sustain.

Health and armor both lean Nasus, 650 base and 34 rising to 2,418 and 113.9, and his damage is mixed rather than pure physical, so one resistance purchase will not cover it. The workable opening is timing: strike before Wither is available, use Unseen Threat while he is separated from his team, and refuse every extended exchange afterwards.
