His only gap-closer is now uniquely countered by a handful of champions, and the few really cool plays he could make while being on the same team as said champions(especially Jarvan) no longer exist, nor are replaced with anyhing of comparable value.
I really hoped he was left unchanged on purpose, and not by omission, but I guess I gave too much credit to whomever made the original call on those changes(which are awesome, for everyone except Nautilus).
Lumus Avatar2 voteswell wait. Naut's anchor goes on half cooldown when he hooks terrain, so now he can pull himself to Jarvan's Cataclysm, allowing Jarvan to continue pummeling the enemy inside. And then, when it breaks, his CD will be up and he can grab the retreating foe - if they survive Jarvan.
N491 votesWithout the change, all that involves a single spell cast, and two people instantly murdering Jarvans victim, or Nautilus coming to the aid of a teammate captured by Jarvan.
No matter how you spin it, Nautilus always gets the short end of the stick with these changes.
Lumus Avatar1 votesI'm biased. I do a lot of Naut repositioning with Q until I get superspeed boots, so I hook terrain a lot and see being able to hook player-made terrain as a buff to my ability to reposition.
Knight SoIaire 1 votesthis was just a change for all of the champions who interact with terrain on the other hand im sure that naut will get a kit rework soon because making a real tank is hard
