How to Use Nautilus Counter Data

This page lists the notable Nautilus matchups in League of Legends for the SUPPORT role, drawn from ranked match data rather than personal judgment. Right now, the lane opponents who give Nautilus the most trouble are Rell, Shen, and Galio, where its win rates in the current data set are at their lowest. Rell is the hardest of them: Nautilus wins only 44.7% of its 3,160 recorded games against her. In contrast, Nautilus does well against Mel, Yuumi, and Zoe, so those are the safer matchups to take on.

Every card displays Nautilus’s win rate along with the game count behind it. A matchup backed by tens of thousands of games carries much more weight than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard tags come straight from the win rate: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy, and everything between is Even. They’re meant to help with quick reading and aren’t a separate statistic. The figures cover ranked games at Emerald and above in all regions, using patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours to keep pace with shifts in the meta.
