MATCHUPNasus · Top · Patch 26.14 · Ranked Solo · Updated Jul 22, 2026

Nasus vs Lee Sin in Top lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: his R kicks you out of every all-in — don't commit expecting a kill. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it
DO
Respect his R
Post-6 all-ins don't work — he just kicks you away with R, then W-hops to a ward or minion to escape. Don't throw yourself in for a kill.
Can't itemize him
His damage is mixed — E is AP, Q and autos are AD — so you can't build to counter it and can't win trades. Soak it and farm.
Your window
Lee falls off hard if he gets no kills in lane — deny him, keep stacking Q, and take over in the mid-late game around objectives.
DON'T
Never throw yourself at him for a kill — you can't win trades or all-ins, and every death you give feeds a Lee who otherwise falls off hard.
