His lane loses threat when the hook is down. - Share lane space with your partner without stacking on the same line. Make Nautilus choose between a blocked hook and a bad engage angle. - Track his support item and ward timing before entering dark river. If he shows on one side without fresh wards, take space on the other side quickly. - Hit his teammates after he uses Q forward. Nautilus is durable, but his backline is exposed once his engage path is spent. - Keep carries outside his flash-Q and ult chain range until he shows. Force him to start on a frontline target, then peel backward. ## Where Nautilus is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Nautilus commits his body with his hook, so blocked or bad engages leave him deep without escape. - Nautilus has heavy lockdown but limited damage, making his picks depend on allies reaching the target immediately. ## Nautilus counters: questions ### Who counters Nautilus in Support?
