How to play against Nautilus

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Stand behind minions and punish every missed Q with immediate damage on him or his partner. His lane loses threat when the hook is down.
2. Share lane space with your partner without stacking on the same line. Make Nautilus choose between a blocked hook and a bad engage angle.
3. 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.
4. Hit his teammates after he uses Q forward. Nautilus is durable, but his backline is exposed once his engage path is spent.
5. 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.
