Nasus vs Kled Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Nasus is a fighter/tank hybrid, Kled a fighter, and they meet in the Top lane. Over 223 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Nasus closes out 44.0% of them. That is 6.0 points under even, which is why Kled is listed among the champions Nasus struggles into.
The exchange usually opens with Spirit Fire (E) or Bear Trap on a Rope (Q). Fury of the Sands and Chaaaaaaaarge!!! are the two buttons that end the exchange outright. One spends Mana and the other Courage, which changes how long each can keep poking.
mixed damage sits on both sides of this lane, which simplifies what Nasus and Kled build against each other. Level-one bases: Nasus 650 HP / 34 armour / 32 MR, Kled 410 / 35 / 28. Level 18 armour lands at 114 for Nasus and 123 for Kled. That 350-versus-345 difference matters most when either leaves the lane.
With both sitting in melee range (125 against 125), neither side gets a free poke pattern.
The 223-game sample behind Nasus versus Kled is data rather than opinion.
