@Riot, in regards to Nautilus

Black Pöwer··2 votes·432 views

Just a couple questions really, not entirely sure if this has been covered before but I was just wandering if there are currently any decisions being made in regards to making his model bigger? I remember a while back a few champions had their models adjust to be bigger. Also in regards to his gameplay and kit itself, I know a change was recently made to his ult so it knocked up all enemies hit which when you think about it thematically and realistically, that would happen BUT in regards to the rest of his kit or more specifically his E; I remember in the new dawn trailer his E knocked Ahri to the ground kinda like grounding her; when I think about it, wouldn't the same mechanic in which Cassiopeia has on her W work in turn with Nautilus. I imagine this would be something that would create obvious balancing issues but from what I've seen over the past 2 years of Naut being changed, he is being changed to be more support oriented and weaker within the jungle and top lane.

What are your thoughts? If any.

Kind Regards

He already has so much CC that giving him a grounded effect on his E would make him grossly over powered. Not that I would complain. He's quite fun to play as a support.

I think he is big enough as he is now. He's about the same size as other "big" champs.

That is actually how his ult has always been. The recent change was so that it stuns all enemies it hits; as opposed to only the enemy you targeted, which is how it used to be.

Naut already has a lot of CC (AA and Q are a stun, E and R are a slow, R is a knock up). Making his E also into a grounded effect would just be entirely too much CC for Naut.

I hope that riot doesn't force him into the support role. I love playing him jungle and top, but I just don't like his support gameplay pattern. And pls no unnecessary buffs I don't want him getting banned every game then gutted later

Maybe is you remove the slow from the E in exchange for grounded. i could see that. but not both
