Milio vs Nautilus Counter Pick

The sample is large enough to trust here, 3,079 games on patch 16.13.1, and it returns 48.0% for Milio. That is a losing number, though a narrow one, and the difficulty model reads the pairing as even. Nautilus wins by being unavoidable rather than by out-damaging anybody: Staggering Blow roots on his first attack against any target, so even a missed Dredge Line leaves a threat attached to whoever he walks toward.

What the stat sheet says about the exchange:

• Attack range 175 against Milio’s 525, so every hook is a commitment made through vision Milio should already own.
• Armour 39 at level 1 and 123.2 at level 18, against 26 and 104.2, meaning an early all-in on him rarely works.
• Movement speed 325 against 330, the slower figure in the pairing, which is what Ultra Mega Fire Kick punishes.
• Mixed damage output, so no single resistance purchase blunts him.

Depth Charge tracks its target across the fight and knocks up on arrival, and that is the cue for Breath of Life, which strips crowd control from allies in range. Held for the shockwave rather than spent on Riptide slows, it is the difference between a lost carry and a wasted ultimate. Vision is most of the preventive plan, because each of his openings depends on being spotted too late to matter, and Milio cannot outrun the engage himself even when the marksman behind him can.
