Yuumi vs Nautilus Counter Pick

Across 3,212 games on patch 16.13.1, the sample is large enough to take seriously, and the verdict is harsh: 42.1%. Nautilus starts with 646 health and 39 armor at level 1 and reaches 123.2 armor by level 18. His damage is split between physical and magic rather than coming from one type. Staggering Blow adds bonus physical damage and roots the target on his first attack, while Riptide and Titan’s Wrath deal magic damage.

Yuumi’s problem is that nearly all of her kit is a hard stop. Dredge Line hooks an enemy in, Depth Charge knocks an enemy up and travels across the map to locate its target, and the passive root fires without any cooldown to manage. With 500 health, 25 armor and 25 magic resistance, she has little room to soak damage, so the plan cannot rely on tanking. You and Me! keeps her untargetable for as long as her ally lives, which puts the whole fight on where her carry stands, and Zoomies is more useful for setting up approach angles than for escaping. Nautilus moves at 325 to her 330, the only figure in her favour, and his difficulty rating of 6 gives her room to miss anchors. He also has 61 attack damage at level 1 to her 49 and attacks from 175 range against her 425, so the early game comes down to whether she is ever within reach when Dredge Line comes up. His full stat progression is laid out on the Nautilus page.
