Why AP Nautilus is just a better Mordekaiser, Or, "Why Holy Diver's THE pinnacle of Metal"
Hello there, it's me, Malignant Mineral at it again with another in-DEPTH analysis of Mordekaiser, or rather his way superior cousin; NAUTILUS, the Titan of the Depths!
As you might have already heard, Mordekaiser really fell out of favor in the past 3 years since his class rework and Riot seems to rather brush this issue under the carpet than to actually give into all of my demands, give Mordekaiser a VGU, 2 legendary skins, one ultimate and make him unable to be picked by anyone other than myself.
But I'm digressing. For I am in fact DONE with playing Mordekaiser and shall henceforth only be known for fighting the cause of Full AP Nautilus
So, why is Nautilus just a better Mordekaiser, well it's simple!
-
Nautilus has more Mobility than Mordekaiser! Dredge line is a huge gapcloser and escape tool and makes up for Nautilus' low MS of 325, Mordekaiser mains will feel right at home with the Holy Diver since he shares this low movement value with mordekaiser!
-
Nautilus' wave clear is not bound to minions or other units standing near him! Morde's main waveclear, his w requires a secondary Unit whereas Nautilus' Riptide just fires out from where he stands! On a FIVE second cooldown as well!
-
Nautilus has more CC than Mordekaiser! Nautilus has FIVE different kinds of CC in his kit!: -A displacement on his Q -A Root on his passive -A Slow on his E -A Knockup on his R -And maximum tilt and DETH upon killing an enemy
-
Nautilus shield is ON DEMAND! Morde can't just get a huge ass shield on demand like Naut can with the flick of his W button!
-
Nautilus' suit of armor is more modernized than the ancient iron shell Morde wears! Naut wears a high-tech astronaut suit or a diving one depending on skin, clearly a man who's caught up with the times!
-
Nautilus' actually a reference to Holy Diver, THE quintessential Metal Album, clearly making him more Metal than Morde himself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhGEGIBGLu8
-
Nautilus has more skins and even a 1350 one! 'Nuff said!
#But how do you play Nautilus?
Simple! You run him mid since it's his natural habitat, his quotes all refer to moving FORWARD, indicating a mid-centric position!
Start a
And push HARD
He's an Oceanman and has a ton of WAVE clear!
Build
as your bulk and scaling damage!
For the damage increase and shred! And unlike Morde you don't have to dump 2600 gold on rylais to get the full burn!
From there on you're free to build whatever the bloody heck (excuse my language) you want!
being good choices!
Don't build tank. Only those with low self esteem do that! You are a MAN! Show them that AP is the way of life since it increases your ABILITY to achieve greatness in life!
And just like that you'll win 85% of your games like me! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/299493047899521024/430085565405331457/naut.JPG

I hope you guys realize by now that there is literally no reason to play Mordekaiser while AP Nautilus' just a superior version of him in every regard! So if you want to play Morde, just think logically for a second and lock in Full AP Nautilus Mid lane instead!
Trust me!
