How to Play with Nautilus as Poppy in LoL

The Poppy Nautilus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nautilus, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Poppy sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nautilus. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Nautilus helps Poppy perform not as well in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Poppy tries to synergize with Nautilus, she observes a barely noticable drop in her full damage output. This change may indicate that Nautilus doesn't help cover for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played with Nautilus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Nautilus.

Additionally, when Poppy plays with Nautilus on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Nautilus does a decent job of protecting Poppy in team fights.

Is Poppy better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Poppy that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. However, Nautilus is a not very good companion for Poppy. By being on the same side as Poppy, he lowers their win rate by -2.1% to 47.6%. This demonstrates that there is a negative bond between Poppy and Nautilus that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Nautilus has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Nautilus allies to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. Together, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Poppy and Nautilus together, you probably will not be granting your other allies much magical damage output. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Nautilus teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
