How to Beat Nautilus as Morgana (Support)

The Morgana 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 Morgana 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 8th (versus 16th for Morgana) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Morgana Support versus Nautilus Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Morgana 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.

Morgana tips:

  • Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.
  • Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.
  • Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.

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.
