Nasus vs Fizz Counter Pick

Nasus wins the jungle clash at 60.6%, although only 104 games on patch 16.13.1 sit behind that figure, so it reads as a strong indication rather than a settled number. What the statlines support is straightforward. Nasus moves at 350 to Fizz’s 335, carries 67 attack damage to 58, and takes free sustain from Soul Eater, which turns any drawn-out skirmish over an objective into a lifesteal contest he is equipped to win.

Wither decides most of these fights. It ages one champion, stripping move speed and attack speed over its duration, and Fizz exists to arrive on a target with Urchin Strike and leave with Playful / Trickster. Slowed, he keeps the untargetable frames of the hop but loses the distance that makes it an escape, and 2,418 health at level 18 outlasts what his burst can produce. Spirit Fire also reduces the armor of anything standing in it, which bites against 26 base armor and 104.2 at 18 compared with 34 and 113.9. Nimble Fighter blunts early Siphoning Strike hits with flat damage reduction, so stacking on camps before contesting is worth more than trading at level 3. Chum the Waters remains the one ability that flips the exchange, slowing its target before the shark erupts. See Fizz.
