I tried him on the PBE.

He takes little to no damage thanks to his shield. So very much higher survivability.

Scuttle gets destroyed faster than I do with lee sin & co. Stuns FTW.

Mana issue are non-existent even without blue buff.

Clear time could be slightly improved tho but it's clear is way healthier than it used to be.

** Without using smite, without leash, without doing scuttle, without golems **

Runes : Resolve primary + precision second. Items : Rejuvenation bread and Hunter's Talisman.

Red start -> wraith -> wolves -> blue - gromps => **3m40 ** (time to clear : 2min10)

Around 40% hp and mana remaiming. I believe I did quite a few mistakes mechanically speaking so it can be improved.

Overally, decent buff don't you think? I need more testing but it might become pretty good in the jungle.

I might start playing Jungle more. I actually really liked playing Jungle when tanks were meta and a thing.

Not sure what you're doing with Naut on live right now. I tested him on PBE and compared him to my live clear(ftershock, bone plating, Chrysalis and Overgrowth. Triumph and Alacrity; Blue-scuttle-wolfs-raptors-red-krugs; smite for each buff camp and 3 pots)(shall be called "blue run") On live i finished at ~4:00, haveing lvl 4 and near full health+mana in the end. On PBE i finished at ~4:10 als near full health and mana

And all that with more mana needs(irelevant as long as you have blue, but that's not always the case)

I also did you're run(shall be called "Red run"), and on PBE i finished at 3:39 with ~50%hp, on live i finished at 3.20 with ~70%hp

For me, all his cleartimes got a bit worse on PBE while also needing more mana...wouldn't call that a buff at all

Edit: fro comparsion the values for those runs on some other champs:

Amumu: Blue run ~3:45, about fullhealth and 60% mana; Red run 3:15, but near death Seju: Blue run ~3:55, ~80%hp near full mana; Red run ~3:35 near death Noc: Blue run ~3:40, near full hp, full mana; Red run 3.10 near death Kindret: Blue run ~3:45, ~60%hp(really doesn't like raptors); Red run 3:25, ~30%hp(still doesn't like raptors)
