Based on 12 recent matches analyzed, Nautilus wins with a 58.3% win rate compared to Zoe's 41.7%, giving Nautilus a 16.7 percentage point advantage. Nautilus dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Zoe players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Nautilus players can confidently pick into Zoe and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Zoe away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
