View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Yuumi Support vs Nautilus Support in patch 15.23 (25.23), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 72.2% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 4.6% popularity, Yuumi constantly encounters meta-dominant Nautilus (9.4%, 3rd place out of 52 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Yuumi performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (50.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Moonstone Renewer, Ardent Censer, Imperial Mandate, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 45.6% to 72.2% - potentially game-changing.

Vision deficit: Struggling in both the matchup and vision control (0.78 vs 0.98 wards/min) demands defensive warding and heavy jungle coordination. Outclassed across the board: Nautilus leads in both matchup win rate (54.4%) and damage (394 vs 286/min). Yuumi must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Yuumi maintains better KDA (4.40, 1st place vs 33rd for Nautilus), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Nautilus as Yuumi (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Yuumi 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 6th (versus 48th for Yuumi) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 4.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yuumi Support versus Nautilus Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Yuumi player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Nautilus player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

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.
