FYI : Nidalee was tankier than nautilus

No really, check wiki. Her base stats (not counting MR) are higher

Nidalee Health 541 – 2071 ; Armor 22.9 – 82.4 Nautilus Health 576 – 2038 ; Armor 26.5 – 81.7

Which makes sense considering she's a ranged mage with the highest not ult-nuke in the game with massive range, a free low cd mobility skill, and a heal.

Akali 587.8 -> 2032.8 Evelynn 531.2 -> 2061.2 Fizz 558.48 -> 2020.5 Kassadin 564.04 -> 1890 Katarina 510 -> 1921 Khazix 572.8 -> 2017.8 Leblanc 516 -> 1791 MasterYi 598.56 -> 2162.6 Nocturne 582.8 -> 2027.8 Rengar 586.2 -> 2116.2 Shaco 582.12 -> 2010.1 Talon 582.8 -> 2027.8 Zed 579.4 -> 1939.4

Like Nidalee , all of these have assassin as their primary role.

Base stats don't really matter, because Naut is designed to be a tank, whereas Nid isn't. That 33 health and 0.7 armour aren't going to make a difference when you realize a full-build Naut will have 4-5k hp plus resistances, where Nid is still sitting at 2-2.5.

So Naut is still tankier than Nid.

Didn't know Nid had HP scaling or a shield. Dope.

LMAO base health.

If Naut build full AP, he can crush too. If nid builds the way Naut does, i'll take her spear any day.

Use some brain lmao

kinda funny how your argument falls apart when it's no longer 2 abilities or stats in a vacuum

Xtremey3/31/2015, 10:22:56 PM4 votes

is this guy serious or does he actually think that the ~1 armor makes a noticeable difference?

killd0zer3/31/2015, 6:56:42 PM4 votes

So like I get that Naut has defensive abilities and all, but there's no reason a mage should be tankier than a tank, much less a RANGED one who's whole goal is to avoid a direct fight.

It is the same as Cho'Gath having a higher base AD than Draven. You have to take abilities and build path into consideration as well, as there is no way cho'gath actually does more damage than Draven.

Meanwhile Sion is considered an extremely tanky tank and has less base HP at lvl 18 than Sona huehue

I'm not defending Nid for being obnoxiously game warping and making playing against her a mini game of how long can you dodge spears. BUT i think naut stats are like that because his W. Also his build path is tanky, so his stats being slightly lower than a range caster makes sense because range casters cant really go out of their way to be a little resilient.

she also doesn't scale with tanky stats.

Big Bang Bob4/1/2015, 12:56:35 AM3 votes

Nautilus Has a powerful shields that stacks with his tankiness.

Nidalee Doesn't stack with tankiness at all.

Also, these are late game stats, where, the differences are insignificant. Nid will likely only have one or two, if any, defensive items, while Naut still has his shield and his tanky items. Not matter how she builds, Nautilus will likely be much tankier.

Hey guys, let's talk about defenses, but ignore one of the three just because. There are quite a few stronger non ultimate nukes in the game, but by all mean, don't let fact get in the way of your circlejerk.

GloriousKaiser3/31/2015, 7:05:09 PM2 votes

Okay but Naut builds tanky and Nidalee doesn't so, I guess that's feasible.

Enraged Piglet3/31/2015, 8:07:59 PM2 votes

what makes champions tanky isn't really to much there bse stats but there kits and what they build. Nautilus has a shield and that with his cc gives him a reason to be on the front line of your team.

This could be a problem if you build her as a tank instead of a Mage of assassin. But you don't do you?

I think Veigar W does more than nid spear now, so maybe 2nd highest.

It's the second highest damaging non ult. Fiddle drain is #1 (full channel).

33 hp difference is about as much damage as a single auto attack from a mage would do late game to any tank.
