Nautilus: Jungle or Support?
Just started learning Nautilus yesterday and am wondering where I should focus my attention with him, jungle or support. As a jungler, his clear times are super slow (I average 4:20 for a full first clear), but his ganks can be stellar with how he can chain CC... if you have someone to follow up and aren't going after someone like Swain who can laugh off early gank attempts with his own CC and sustain. Plus, if he falls behind, or the team as a whole does, he's not really the best at getting himself and his team back in it, or at least it wouldn't appear so to me. Oh, and he's really susceptible to counter jungling.
As a support, he seems more in his element to me, as he's sort of like the love-child of Leona and Thresh. Granted, I only tried Nautilus support in one co-op match, but with his tankiness, CC, and somewhat surprising damage output, I don't know that I've ever felt more comfortable with a support. My ADC tended to just stand there as I chained CC on the ADC and support, yet once I got ahead I could take them out myself without his help. Went 7/0/13. Our ADC went 2/3/7. 3 of his assists were completely accidental kill steals on my part, as I was fed by that point and surprised by my own strength. Which also makes me want to support as him even more, because I've seen plenty of matches where the ADC was too bad or too passive and the support, generally a Volibear or Leona, just took over thanks to their own kill potential. Sure, that would be tougher in a normal match, but the potential does seem to be there.
Also, I've been on the lookout for a proper support main, since as nice as Sona is, she's still not quite my style. Blitzcrank is closer, but I'm not the best at skill shots and if/when I miss it's trouble, given the mana costs on his Q. It also gives me a tank option besides Blitzcrank and Leona, who are often banned, when my team's too dumb to grab a tank. In the jungle, though, I just can't see a reason why I would choose him over Amumu or Sejuani if I was going the tank route. What say you all?
