How to Beat Pyke as Nautilus (Support)

The Nautilus versus Pyke 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. Pyke deals mainly physical damage (77.16%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pyke, ranking 9th (versus 16th for Nautilus) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Nautilus Support versus Pyke Support matchup

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 Pyke, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Nautilus tips:

  • While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.
  • Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Playing Against Pyke

  • Pyke regenerates a significant amount of damage he has taken from enemy champions, but only when you can't see him!
  • When Pyke is hidden nearby in his Ghostwater Dive, sharks will circle underneath your feet.
  • Try not to stand near low health allies. If Pyke executes them using Death From Below, you might be next on the list.
