Nautilus Changes on the PBE: Riptide [E] - AP Ratio now .3 (down from .5) and now slows for 1.3 seconds (down from 2). Mana cost reduced to 40/50/60/70/80 (down from 60/70/80/90/100). Cooldown reduced to 6/5.5/5/4.5/4 (down from 10 seconds across all ranks) Titan's Wrath [W] - Now deals 15/30/45/60/75 (down from 40/55/70/85/100)

E: DPS Analysis DPS = Damage/CD

Rank 1 Current (1C): 6 + 0.05 (12+0.1) (2C): 10 + 0.05 (20+0.1) (3C): 14 + 0.05 (28+0.1) (4C): 18 + 0.05 (36+0.1) (5C): 22 + 0.05 (44+0.1) Rank 1 New (1N): 10 + 0.05 (20+0.1) (2N): 18.2 + 0.055 (36.4 + 0.11) (3N): 28 + 0.06 (56 + 0.12) (4N): 40 + 0.067 (80 + 0.13) (5N): 55 + 0.075 (110 + 0.15)

W: DPS Analysis: DPS = Damage/2 seconds (1C): 20 + 0.2 (2C): 27.5 + 0.2 (3C): 35 + 0.2 (4C): 42.5 + 0.2 (5C): 50 + 0.2 (1N): 7.5 + 0.2 (2N): 15 + 0.2 (3N): 22.5 + 0.2 (4N): 30 + 0.2 (5N): 37.5 + 0.2

Level 1 Current W: 20 + 0.2 Level 1 New E: 10 + 0.05 (15 + 0.075) (20 +0.1) Essentially the same if your AP is negligible and you hit all three rings.

Level 3 Current 1E + 2W: 33.5 + 0.25 (36.5 + 0.27) (39.5 + 0.3) Level 3 New 2E + 1W: 25.7 + 0.255 (34.8 + 0.28) (43.9 + 0.31) Similar if you hit 2.

Level 5 Current 1E + 3W: 41 + 0.25 (44 + 0.275) (47 + 0.3) Level 5 New 3E + 1W: 35.5 + 0.26 (48.5 + 0.29) (63.5 + 0.32) Similar if you hit 2 rings.

Level 9 Current 2E + 5W: 60 + 0.25 (70 + 0.3) Level 9 New 5E + 2W: 70 + 0.275 (125 + 0.35) Buff in all cases.

Level 13 Current 5E + 5W: 72 + 0.25 (94 + 0.3) Level 13 New 5E + 5W: 92.5 + 0.275 (147.5 + 0.35) Buff in all cases.

Assumptions: 1 DPS in sustained damage = 1 DPS in burst damage. This is generally not the case. Multiplying the E damage by a factor between 1.5 and 2 should compensate for this. Nautilus can spam E while at camps. Nautilus shield remains intact. Nautilus clears the camp before his shield runs out.

Other Considerations: If Nautilus builds CDR, then the DPS of riptide increases. If Nautilus builds AS (lol) then the DPS of Titan's Wrath remains the same.

Edit: Fixed a mislabelling between E (Riptide) and W (Titan's Wrath).

... Why are they nerfing nautilus? He doesnt even get used. And with the riptide nerf, hes now completely useless in his one backburner role; support.

They aren't, they are buffing tank junglers while not buffing any other type of jungler.
