So about that Nautilus buff, don't want to say I told you so, but...

Well, here we are again. For those unfamiliar, I'm a rather long term Nautilus player who has hundreds of games across all spans of the big guy's viability. This isn't a whining thread, more so just trying to draw some attention to what has been happening recently.

So before cinderhulk it was obvious Nautilus was at the weakest he's ever been. Even I couldn't do much with him and had put him on the backburner while I waited for tank buffs to come along. Boy did they come, however I voiced concern about them buffing Nautilus in the incorrect ways. Post buffs, again, the guy has horrible time trying to clear early, has a hard time ganking without boots, and turns into a late game beast. Nothing changed, except now I have a sunfire, neat.

And now Nautilus support is becoming a thing, a fairly good thing as well. As a support player as well as a jungler, I'm extremely mixed in my feelings on the subject. He's always been a really awkwardly good support with his amount of CC and lockdown, but he was just a passable jungler and that fact kept him out of botlane. He is completely outshined, at this point, by other tanks, most notably Sej. Sej and Naut are similar in that they're weak early, strong late meatwalls of CC, problem is Sej trades a little CC for a ton of damage. And yes, Sej's damage is bruiser level if not mage level if she wants to while still being tanky as all hell, let's not forget that.

So again, I'll bring to light the fact that Nautilus, if Riot wants to keep him in the jungle, needs some of his early power tweaked. The E change did not do the proper justice and really all he needed was bonus damage vs monsters on his W to make his clearing not terrible while still keeping his damage vs champs at a reasonable level. I understand Naut should have a weak early game, but if practically every champ can gank him in his jungle can we at least make it so the jungle doesn't gank him as well?
