So im thinking about saving up for nautilus, mostly because i have been playing the new sion a bunch and their kits look to have some similarities. Before i buy him though, i do have a few question of Nautilus players. 1: Why pick him over Amumu? 2: How is he with mana?
his mana costs are relatively very high for his mana pool, and there are simply much better options in the current jungle
Nautilus and Sion are two very different champs. Sion has way more offensive capability in fights, while Nautilus plays more of a tank role.
Nautilus has been one of the strongest junglers since his inception. Since Spirit of the Elder lizard has been removed, his mana pool/regen needs to be taken into consideration as he's completely useless without mana as far as ganking/teamfights goes. In spite of this, Nautilus is a monsterously-strong initiator and can completely incapacitate tenacity-less squishies with the help of a buddy!
Nautilus is the king of crowd control. He's like the leona of the jungle. Anybody who says Nautilus isn't a strong jungler simply doesn't know how to play him well. Nautilus is one of the most underrated champions in the game.
The only scenario where it wouldn't be appropriate to pick Nautilus is having a team comp that's already flexin' a lot of tanky crowd control and less-than-appropriate damage output. In these cases, you'd want to pick an asassin-type with great wombo-combo potential.
Hopefully you find any of this useful. I strongly reccomend buying Nautilus if you like to go H.A.M in the jungle and want to spice up your jungle-champion roster a bit.
ps: trundle is also cool and underrated jungle, buy him too
I run hybrid Ap / AD runes on him, CDR, and Armor. Then Tank masteries. His clears are slow until you have two points in your W, but his gank potential is ridiculous. This biggest drawback is he is a mid / late game champ. Also you depend on your team to do the dmg as he's designed to stand front line, soak, and interrupt.
Hold off on him, he gets destroyed in the jungle last time I heard.
he's gank heavy and falls off late game. he's good but you need to give all the kills away.
