Key takeaways

  • Rakan is favored in this matchup: Rakan wins 55.4% of 547 games, and the whole 95% range (51.2–59.5%) is on the same side of 50%.
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 52.5% for Rakan; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 45, within the margin of error (337 games).
  • Rakan players pick Bone Plating far more often against Nautilus: 71.5% of their other Support games, 81.8% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Rakan and Nautilus played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Rakan's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Rakan Build vs Nautilus

Limited sample: 41 of 95 games finished this exact core, so treat it as an observation rather than a recommendation.

  • Rakan usually completes Zeke's Convergence first, at 13.1 min (median of 191 games).
  • Nautilus usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 12.4 min (median of 247 games).
  • Skill priority: W > E > Q — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
