Who Wins
- Pre-6: Ezreal + Nautilus wins through superior poke and engage threat with Nautilus Q.
- Post-6: The matchup remains difficult as Nautilus R bypasses your mobility and Ezreal can safely follow up damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on short trades with Q poke and auto-E when Nautilus abilities are on cooldown.
- Use your mobility to kite backwards after Maokai engages, maximizing spear stacks before they can disengage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early recalls and maintain wave control to enable Maokai roams.
- Avoid slow pushing into their tower as Nautilus can easily set up ganks with his crowd control chain.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your R to save Maokai from Nautilus engage as you'll likely both die to the follow-up.
- Don't get caught in extended trades near walls where Nautilus can chain Q into wall stuns.
