The stupid punch animation. Why would any giant metal god ever PUNCH someone when he has an anchor the size of the fucking titanic.

Seriously. It looks so stupid. Just remove it completely.

You're joking right? I main Naut support/top and I fucking LOVE his punch animation

For one, he already has plenty of anchor auto animation, so it's nice to have a bit of variety (when is this ever a bad thing?).. and for two, he's like "you're so beneath me, im just gonna smack you like a bitch rn". But honestly it looks great.. how the fuck could you play naut and not like it?

Or are you one of those millenials who needs every. single. thing. to be flashy and edgy or else its HyperBoring?

He's saying the animation itself looks bad. And i have to agree myself. It looks... weird. Naut is pretty old after all, honestly due for a VU or a small VGU.

out off all the reasons i can think of to not main naut, this would be the last...

My biggest issue(asides from Tanks in general not getting tanky) is that he wields that giant anchor, gets punished for that with the slowes AS in the game, and yet he has hardly more base ad( 61 – 117.1) than a ranged adc like sivir( 61 – 113.9). I'd be fine with his low as if he had darius levels of base AD, but a lumbering titan like him should not get out dpsed by base stats from a **ranged **champion

Garen used to punch people too (it was more like a slap, actually). That's the best part of the attack animation.

And really, using your off-hand to pull a fast one every now and then is totally sound as a tactical choice, or at least for people of normal size against other people of normal sizes. But still, it adds some character, especially in the case of Nautilus who is supposed to be gigantic; it feels like Nautilus is getting in there to personally crush you like a bug.
