The weakest tank in all of League

It pains me to say, because I love him a bunch, but it's Nautilus.

When you compare Naut to every other tank that the game can usually throw at us, and I mean champions who are meant to be tanks, aka not Yasuo, Fizz, Ekko, he is the weakest.

Compare to the other pure tanks in the top. None, all of these are not the actual reasons why all these tanks are better then Nautilus, but to me are the reason why he fails in comparison to them. As well as tanks are not even the best right now in the top lane.

Maokai vs Nautilus - Better form of sustain, more impactful CC, and better team fighting capabilities.

Ornn vs Nautilus - Better CC with passive, can assit teams with Masterwork items, better team fighting capabilities.

Sion vs Nautilus - Constant stacking health, natural armor shred, %HP AOE damage, large AOE knockup

Malphite vs Nautilus - Ult, armor out the ass, Ult, Attack Speed hindrance, ULT

Chogath vs Nautilus - Has a Silence, the dreaded Stoneplate combo, %HP damage

Galio vs Nautilus - MR out the ass, %damage reduction, %damage reduction on ally, huge ass AOE knockup, AOE taunt

Poppy vs Nautilus - Passive increase to armor and MR, %HP damage, prevents mobility, removes the peel, dash to target/stun

Shen vs Nautilus - Taunt, massive shield to ally, can instantly get to the botlane without teleport, avoids autos.

Granted I will say Naut has some pretty good stuff along with him, having in my opinion one of the longest CC chains, being Q -> AA -> E -> R.

And if you anything to say to all of this, constructive criticism is probably one of the best things that can be added to a discussion.

Naut has a shield....all those other people do not

All of them bar Maokai and Cho do. Poppy, Galio (albeit against magic damage) and Malphite passively gain a shield. Shen, Sion and Ornn get shields through activating an ability.

Try the magic pen build: item 3068 item 3001 item 3020 item 3151 item 3025

Your last item you just decide what you need most: item 3075 item 3143 item 3194 item 3190 item 3800

I agree he's on the weaker side but the magic pen build throws people off guard a lot when you 100 to 0 the enemy ADC or mage.

Also I generally run comet on him, personally. Gives him really good poke damage on his e.
