Nautilus

Nautilus is an engage tank in the support, and on patch 16.17 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 51.6% win rate, 10.7% pick rate, 124,845 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Nautilus holds a fairly even power curve, staying relevant at every stage rather than relying on a single timing.

How Nautilus wins: landing engage and starting fights on Nautilus's terms, and grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Nautilus tips the fight. The kit grades 10/10 engage, 9/10 teamfighting. Nautilus grades low on siege and disengage (3/10, 3/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.

The most-played core build is Celestial Opposition, Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight's Vow, which holds a 53.9% win rate across 13,230 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Gragas, where Nautilus sits at just 40.7%, the lane swings the other way into Mel (63.3%), and on the team side, Nautilus gains the most from a Heimerdinger (+9.7% pair win rate).
