Playing against Nautilus
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
His Q hook can hit terrain (he pulls himself to the wall): minions do NOT block it, unlike Blitz/Thresh.
2
Respect his level 2: Q + passive root is one of the best support engages at level 2.
3
His R is point-and-click: you can't dodge it, but you can Zhonya's or position so it doesn't knock up your allies along the way.
4
Nautilus is slow without his Q — kite him after he uses his hook.
