How to win lane as Quinn against Nasus · 54.7% win rate (351 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Bully him early — poke and deny his stacks, roam.
Track: Nasus's W — Wither (15–11s cooldown). His only kite. Poke before it.
Read from Quinn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nasus.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | You out-range him and your Harrier auto-resets win the level 1 — he can only walk up to last-hit and you blind it. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | W attack-speed steroid lets you stack Harrier leaps faster than his single-target autos can answer. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Q-W-E all online means you blind his Q, leap with Harrier, and Vault out before Wither lands. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | You convert the lead into plates and a shove while his stacks are still too low to trade back. |
| Level 6 | Nasus | Your R is a roam tool, not a duel button, so Nasus free-farms Q stacks and reaches Sheen during your absence. |
| First item | Quinn | Your lethality/crit first-item spike and Vault reset keep you ahead of a pre-Sheen, low-stack Nasus. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | You're still ahead in tempo, but he's a hard scaler — close the game now before his Wither + stacked Q reclaim the late. |
Nasus is the dream early target: he's melee, slow, and lives off last-hitting with Q to stack, so every time he winds up an auto or empowered Q you throw Blinding Assault and his attack whiffs, costing him the stack. Use your Harrier mark and W attack-speed to lead short trades, then Vault out before he can land Wither. Deny CS at the tip of Q range and punish every step toward the minions. Just never sit still in Wither range with your blind on cooldown.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Youmuu's Ghostblade (roam + burst) first, then The Collector, with Plated Steelcaps.
