A while back I saw a lot of: "why is Nautilus so small when in the LoL cinematics he's literally a giant"

Please Riot, let his size scale with his HP the same way Chogath and Zac do.

This isn't really even a buff it's just something the community wants and honestly it makes playing a tank feel so much more badass..

So cho size doesnt scale with hp, it scales with ult stacks.

Zac shrinks / grows by CURRENT hp as a result of his theme being essentially combat-flubber and as such damaging him would make sense to reduce his size.

Issue with naut being bigger: Takes more skillshots for his team = better frontliner so might get nerfed. More unit collision issues (creep block etc) His anchor grows with his model creating clarity issues for hook range / width, aa range (measured from center), e range (measured from center)

Why, thematically, should he be so big? in his lore he was a sailor who dove in a diving suit and got magically sealed in by an unknown power. Nothing even points to him being any taller than varus or a normal size person.

make it scale with armor.

The armour thing isn't a bad idea, I hope they just make him bigger

Nautilus seems to have settled in to a comfortable and relatively balanced state as of late. I can't help but to wonder if increasing his comparative size would hinder him from a gameplay standpoint more than what would make sense in terms of continuity.

One thing to note is that for Zac and Cho'gath, model growth makes thematic sense. Zac is essentially a blob so it makes sense that more health would result in more blob to love. Cho is an organic void creature who's theme of consumption and growth makes sense.

Why would an armoured juggernaut like Nautilus grow or shrink over the course of the game?
