This top lane battle always ends up in Nasus coming on top. I just wanna know if Renekton can beat Nasus in 1v1, I tried so many times and could not beat Nasus with Rene. When I take Nasus against Renekton, then I always win 1v1. My question is: "Can Renekton even beat Nasus 1v1 ?"
Chalze2 votesBecause one is an early game monster and the other is a late game monster. Early game time has a cap, late game technically doesn't.
Death by Glamour3 votesNasus is a midgame champ
That 1k q stack means little when an adc can kill him in 5 seconds

Nasus still breaks a 50% win rate late game. That's more than Renekton can say.
Chalze2 votesWhat ADC? We're talking about Nasus vs Renekton, OP even specified 1v1
iPooUnicorns2 votesRenekton used to absolutely destroy Nasus until lategame. But with Nasus' relatively recent changes, Nasus can start beating Renekton much earlier (around level 11ish) so long as Nasus doesn't lose early game too hard. That being said, Renekton can still absolutely destroy Nasus early game, level 3 is essentially a free kill for Renekton.

In Renekton's golden age (s4-s5 when the Renekton Bar was the intentional barrier of entry into top lane), Renekton was not a great pick into nasus.
Renekton would absolutely shit on a bad nasus. BUT, against a decent one - a nasus who understood that he could give up farm in order to not die and feed - Nasus overtook Renekton at about.. level 8-9. Depending on how hard Nasus got denied he could possibly win even at level 6, especially if Rene didn't take ignite.
Basically, Renekton's never been a good pick into Nasus. The clock to beat him, and close out the game, has always been extremely tight and rarely worth the risk.
iPooUnicorns1 votesI was under the impression that if Renekton did proper wave management, Nasus would get denied too hard to stand a chance even at level 8-9.

Not really. Renekton's primary flaw was / is his inability to trade without massive collateral to the wave. So in order to put nasus 'in his place' and bully him, Renekton would innately push.
A good renekton would still bleed a fair amount of farm out of Nasus, but this was back before they nerfed his passive sustain; it used to be MUCH stronger. As a result Nasus would go pots 5 > doran's shield (it had a flat damage reduction back then) > glacial, and once he finished the glacial his sustain would kick in to the point that he could farm without much concern, and also gradually whittle Renekton down.
Renekton taking ignite drew this process out for another 2-3 levels, depending on usage and skill, but Renekton was no longer a threat by 11-12 at the latest
