Advice on Nautilus in the Jungle

Revërend·4/16/2015, 5:51:09 PM·1 votes·595 views

I main jungle, and I main NautIlus. Even before this who "tank meta" thing that's going on. I'm having trouble winning games. Im doing my job, I place deep wards, I give my buffs to my team, I give the lanes I gank the kills. Doing my job as a tank jungler. Now with Nautilus, youre supposed to build him pure tank, and that's it. Even when I do that, I find myself getting my ass handed to me again and again. Now would it be wrong to build him with some ap. Nothing major, just something to help clear and add more aoe damage to the team fight. I was thinking of a build like; Cinderhulk (purple jungle item) Mobility boots iceborn guantlet/frozen heart Abyssal Scepter Warmog's Randuin's

Abyssal scepter isn't that bad of a buy in general because the MR reduction can be used by others on your team. Gauntlet is a bit redundant with Naut's passive 2bh, but if you're finding yourself having clustered teamfights a lot it may be beneficial.

Otherwise building damage on naut is always tricky and risky. His ratios simply don't support damage via items well.

do try to build magus>abyssal>sunfire/thornmail>warmong and keep on getting tanky, this will Add damage to your ganks, and see if that works for you.

you will be maxing E ofcourse, and get the challenger smite for the 20% damage reduction, as you're squisher without your cinderhulk

keep in mind Nautilus cannot carry, you still have to relay on your team, your job is to make their carrying easier.

I looked at lolbuilder.net, and I looked at your match history. I don't play Nautilus. But here are some observations.

Most people are buying Ranger's Trailblazer. You should try it. I would drop the Iceborn Gauntlet and the Rylai's. You don't need to apply a slow; you're a CC machine.

The other thing is your runes and masteries. Other players are taking AD reds and AS quints to help with clear time. They are also putting points into the AD (as well as AP) parts of the Offense tree.

That's all I've got without observing your gameplay. Hope it helps. :)
