What makes Nautilus dangerous
Nautilus hooks himself to a target (Q), roots with his passive on every ability, knocks up with his E, and his ultimate homes onto a champion, knocking them up from anywhere. He chains so much hard CC that a caught target is locked down for the whole fight, and he's durable enough to dive the backline.
How to play against Nautilus
- 1Dodge his hook (Q) — it's his main engage. Stand behind minions; a Nautilus who misses hooks has far less pick pressure.
- 2His ult (R) is a homing knock-up on a single champion — it can't be dodged, but tenacity/QSS shortens it and you can position to eat it on a tank.
- 3Buy tenacity/QSS on your carry — his whole threat is chained CC. Cut the chain and your carry survives the dive.
- 4He's low damage on his own — kite him and focus his carries once his hook and ult are used.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Relies on landing his hook to engage.
- ✓Low personal damage — a peel/engage tank.
- ✓Tenacity/QSS shortens his cc chain.
- ✓Kiteable once his hook and ult are down.
