I'm betting that Nautilus is the third tank to be updated.

Mainly because I can't see Gnar and Zac needing one and Malphite/Amumu/Rammus are too old. Sion won't be touched either. So that leaves Leona, Gragas, Skarner, and Nautilus.

Outside of Skarner, the rest have a decent chance imo. I just think Nautilus will be it because of his point and click ult.

Naut doesn't need a lot update at all. So I'm gonna say no

It's blowing my mind that champs are "too old to update." That's like saying something's too dirty to clean. What are you cleaning then?

I'd be shocked to see his ult changed in such a small way. Either an overhaul or nothing at all. And if they don't rework that bogus passive on Skarner, I'm going to be less than pleased.

Honestly I think that Malphite, Rammus, and Amumu would require too much work for a roster update.

I don't think they need updates, I'm just shocked by the rationale.

Imo Malphite needs one. He's just an ult bot.

When they say the champ has too many problems to update, they mean as a group. The champs have too many interactivity/fantasy/ and health issues to just give them a spit polish like they will do for sejuani and maokai. They said champions like Malphite and rammus will need full updates in the future, like Warwick got. Here's hoping the updates are as good as warwick's.

Not necessarily. All three are relatively simple champs by design. Amumu and Malph especially could just get small changes that slightly change their overall kit. I'm guessing that both or all three will get minor updates, but I could see one of them being main.

Kaìju1 votes

If I'm remembering right, they confirmed Malph will get a full VGU at some point but it won't he for a long time. Most likely because his Ult eats up a lot of his power budget and his game play feels way too tied to his ult.

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

That doesn't necessarily exclude him from small changes, at least. We've seen larger changes that are lower on the importance scale be waited out with small changes.

Because if they get touched by the roster update that means that their eventual complete rework/VGU/whatever acronym you want will be pushed even further.

I hope he remains the most satisfying champion to play as. The THUM THUM THUM on his E is orgasmic.

Nautilus is actually in a very stable, very good place at the moment. I see no reason why they would completely rework him for utterly no reason. Just because his ult is point and click doesn't mean it's cancerous to the game - plenty of champs have point and click ults like Lissandra, Lee Sin, Caitlyn, and more. I don't think Nautilus is a valid candidate because I don't see him having any problems that merit considerable work. I could see minor base stat changes, but that's it.

Gragas is confirmed to not be touched at all in the update.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

k. ty! makes it easier to speculate. ^^

Btw: source?

VelvetCrotch1 votes

"No Gragas changes planned." Meddler, 5 days ago. ty sir!

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

What do you think they can change? He has pretty much the perfect CC kit.

Ralanr1 votes

I'd imagine making his ult more of an AoE targeted effect rather than point and click. Not the best way of saying it I guess.

Just make it so his ult can be outplayed outside of a windwall.

Fondling Gems1 votes

You can't windwall it.

Ralanr1 votes

I thought they made is so you can?

Fondling Gems2 votes

Maybe you can windwall it right at the beginning? I haven't seen it but I am never really that close to a Yasuo. Other than that it definitely goes through windwall.

Sadly they said Amumu is too old for it.

good, he's kind of cancerous as is

You're supposed to hate ranged champions, remember Lincoln?

Remember that Naut helps your Juggernauts catch people.

Big Lincoln2 votes

more like naut gets stomped in lane and then still duels me once he grabs two component items

i hate all champions, my rage has evolved and become boundless

Naut helps your everything catch champions. He's the greatest "get over here" champ in the game. Because once he's on you, you're not leaving. (And yes I'm aware Blitz exists).

Why "outside of Skarner"?

Riot just loves randomly reworking this champion for no reason, what makes you think they won't do it again?

Ralanr2 votes

I think they find him ok or that he needs a full VGU. It's one or the other.

There is a point in having a point and click ult that can't miss like his. It is to counter guys like this Ahri Fiora Fizz Kindred Leblanc LeeSin MasterYi Riven Shaco Talon Vayne Yasuo Zed

Notice who is most whined about in the forums? It's those guys. Removing Nautilus's ult would indirectly buff all of those guys.

SteelMankind1 votes

Dont quote me on this, but I remember reading somewhere that they're looking to tone down something about Zac E in exchange for power elsewhere in his kit

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Wait, what? That would be horrible. They are always saying that they want every champ to have unique niches. That extreme long range engage is Zac's identity, I hope they keep that in mind.

MunchCrunchLunch1 votes

Malphite and rammus.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

No. Why? cause they are too old and will get a full VGU.

Nechronia1 votes

Didn't stop them with Morde.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

that was not only my opinion, buddy...

Limrick1 votes

It's gonna be Gragas, after they threw him in the dumpster they have to at least do something for him.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

A rioter already confirmed that there are no changes planned for Gragas besides base stat adjustments.

Galio doesn't need an update?

He's already getting a full VGU.
