Aphelios vs Nautilus · Bot lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Early game, if hooked by Nautilus, you die. Even farming under turret is hard. In teamfights, you must avoid his CC. Very difficult at equal skill.

Levels 1-3 extremely weak, hooked = death, only farm under turret.Laning phase: freeze wave near turret, avoid trading, prevent dives.Post-6 still weak; Nautilus R is a point-and-click stun, easy to get bursted.Mid game: rotate to farm, avoid solo pushing without vision.Teamfights: wait for Nautilus to use his spells before outputting; safe with support protection.
