Why was Nautilus forced so hard to be the #1 support?

s9 Support Nautilus build guides, counters, guide, pro builds, masteries, stats - Champions - League of Legends - League of Legends

Pretty much every website has his winrate/pickrate being crazy high (and now his banrate has been increasing too, expectedly). After his last set of buffs, he was in a pretty solid spot. It's quite crazy how much they wanted Nautilus to be close to op tier (especially with one of his hardest counters getting nerfed [Morg] - it made no sense). Just what is wrong with the balance team that they couldn't just leave him in a good spot?

I agree; buff Morgana and give her a 4 second root. [sg-ahri-2]

His early game is pretty nasty. The stun the tankyness and the slow with a grab. He is the perfect support for a adc because it takes them a while to come online. His lvl 2 all in is instant death in most cases..

Let me guess, they buffed his damage.. that would explain why one hit hit from him and one auto from his adc took my thresh to 50% at level 1 xd

Basically if you are bad at the game, just pick AP/Aftershock Nautilus and you Auto-win the lane if not the whole game. Riot introduced a Champion for new players who dont know how to play the game to win every game and feel good about themselves.
