I think Naut using his anchor on walls should be promoted

Methinks that the mana cost on Nauts hook should be refunded if he uses it on walls as a mobility spell. If not, at least refund half the cost.

That way if I'm trying to compete with some of those champions with 9994984894891759817648975911 base movespeed (slight exaggeration) heading towards objectives I don't go OOM trying to get there.

I think you actually lowballed it.

I also think that the wall anchor thing is such a great part of Nautilus' kit but isn't utilized enough.

I agree with the notion that we should give people more of an incentive to use his Q on walls. Even with the cooldown refund, it's too costly in terms of mana and cooldown to be used on a regular basis. It's actually very rarely used at all.

EDIT: No huge buffs, really. Last time Riot gave him like 5 armor and he became instant FoTM. I'm just saying that using your hook is just so unsatisfying. You move a tiny distance even with max range anchor and it has a delay in which you stand still and it costs a lot of mana. Maybe even compensation nerfs if the walljump buffs were excessive.

He already gets a lower cooldown, refunding the entire mana cost would be ridiculous and could catapult the Titan into the current meta, thereby inviting crippling nerfs that would forever ruin him.

Even half the mana cost would be pretty generous, to be honest.

mana buffs would not break Naut, he's still gated by cooldowns and a lack of sustain compared to AD champs just by virtue of lifesteal being OP

besides, hooking to a wall has some obvious counterplay that I've encountered on numerous occasions (jerk enemies getting in the way)

Yes BUFF mobility. We need more mobility buffs in this game.

They need to revert him back to his size when he was released.

Yeah but then Riot would take away like 50% of the damage from Q? Or dramatically increase the normal mana cost or something, so that might not be the best change but what do I know.

Not really necessary. He's in a good spot right now. If you do that, he'll be zooming around the jungle like Vi, which is not okay considering how much I hate Vi.
