Statistical Matchup Analysis

While Fiddlesticks remains a niche pick (0.7% pick rate, 41st place out of 51 Support champions), Nautilus dominates the current meta support with 9.4% popularity. Mastering this matchup is crucial for Fiddlesticks players - you'll face Nautilus in the majority of your games. Even tiers, uneven results: Both champions sit at A-tier, but Fiddlesticks claims a meaningful 56.6% vs 43.5% advantage. Fiddlesticks's kit synergizes better in this specific head-to-head matchup. Amplify your advantage: The Electrocute + Cheap Shot rune setup achieves 72.8% win rate (2.7% popularity), while the core build Trailblazer > Locket of the Iron Solari > Zeke's Convergence with Sorcerer's Shoes (58.1% win rate) lets you snowball advantages into guaranteed victories by 15 minutes.

Lane wins, vision lags: While winning the matchup (56.55%), Fiddlesticks trails in vision control (0.76 vs 0.95 wards/min). Better map coverage could unlock even greater team advantages. Complete superiority: Fiddlesticks dominates both win rate (56.6%) and damage output (548 vs 361/min, 2nd among Support). The 187 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Fiddlesticks wins the matchup (56.6%) despite a lower KDA (2.20 vs 2.40). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Nautilus as Fiddlesticks (Support)

The Fiddlesticks versus Nautilus matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Fiddlesticks deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Nautilus has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Nautilus, ranking 16th (versus 47th for Fiddlesticks) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Fiddlesticks Support versus Nautilus Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Fiddlesticks player to maintain constant pressure on Nautilus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

    Playing Against Nautilus

    • If Nautilus uses Riptide right next to you, hold in place until the ripple effect finishes before running. Running early will run straight into the secondary explosions, causing you to take additional damage and slow.
    • While Nautilus is shielded, he is capable of dealing large amounts of area of effect damage with his basic attacks - consider taking down the shield if you have time.
