What decides the support
A tactical read of the support matchup, written from LaneDiff's champion notes: what each champion threatens, and the one thing to do about it before three minutes. It is analysis, not a match sample, so there is no win rate on this page.
Nautilus
support · Hook engage
One landed skillshot is the whole lane, and minion cover is what stops it from ever starting.
Stay behind minions. His hook, auto root, and ult all chain off one landed grab.
Nautilus layers hook, passive root and a point-and-click ult at six into one unbroken CC chain; the hook is the only entry point.
Pyke
support · Roaming assassin
Leaves the lane to kill somewhere else, so tracking and pings are worth more than the wave.
He roams mid off every push. Ping when he leaves lane and never step up alone.
Pyke regenerates lost health in stealth and his ult resets on executes; his lane absences are kill attempts elsewhere, not resets.
