Whose idea was it to reduce Nautilus's shield so significantly during this 5.1 patch. Scales is shield from 100/150/200/250/300 to 65/70/75/80/85...does that even make sense?!?!? He's a motherfuk'n TANK!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!Nautilus Nautilus Nautilus Nautilus Nautilus summoner 21 summoner 21 Nautilus Nautilus

Somebody didn't read the changelog closely enough. It now scales off MAXIMUM HP, not Bonus HP.

It's actually kinda funny. They even explicitly wrote

(remember, maximum health vs. bonus health is a significant change)

But everyone who panicked over the shield change seems to ignore this.

Well, I only did the math for a lvl1 naut with a lvl1 shield and a lvl18 naut with a lvl5 shield

its minor minor minor buffs but I hear its actually a nerf sometime before his shield i maxed out

Massive nerf to my ADC Nautilus

Riot enforcing the meta, forcing Nautilus to buy health to be effective

Well, are you still supposed to max W first?

Assuming 600 health, ranking W only increases the shield strength by 20 compared to the previous rank. Nautilus most likely has 600-700 max HP at level 3.

At 1000 health, ranking W once then gives 30 health. It is still less than the previous flat 50 per rank skill growth.

Only from mid to late game does the shield become better.

I thought Nautilus had trouble clearing early? Isn't this a nerf to his early clear? I may not have considered the recent jungle changes when arriving at my inquiry.

Edit: Oh well, I suppose his 1-3 actually got better from the actual shield values, not the shield strength increase per rank. My bad.

It now scales from "Total Health" instead of bonus health so it's a buff. ;)

Lets use some math!

Before - Level 1 True Nautilus HP 997 (576 base + 421 bonus) Before Titan Shield = 163 After = 134

gg massive nerf

...How did you get 421 bonus HP at level 1? Were you on Twisted Treeline (starting with two Ruby Crystals), Flat Heal Seals and/or Quints, and defensive masteries?

Or did you mean rank 1 of his W, since you don't usually have that when you can actually afford a Giant's Belt?

by the way, at 18. New one is strictly better

The base shield goes from 300 to 431 In addition to having 2% more scaling from bonus HP

So for example 2000 bonus hp would previously put you at 600 Shield It now gives you 771!

Nearly 30% more shield than before!
