The Nautilus versus Mel matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Nautilus deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Mel deals primarily magic damage (89.40%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Mel, ranking 6th (versus 6th for Nautilus) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Nautilus player to maintain constant pressure on Mel, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
