I'm with you on this. Aside from his ult and/or base damages nothing screams inherently toxic about Nautilus.

Honestly only his reliable damage abilities shouldn't be high base damage (I'd argue his stomp should have more utility).

To be frank though, all of Nautilus's CC is too reliable to properly pull off the high base damage tank formula imo. Trying to balance him around top and jungle without enough damage is probably a headache.

They could push him towards support. As much as I hate balancing top lane tanks as support champions, I honestly wouldn't be saddened if they did it to Nautilus.

It's either make him a bit less reliable to make his laning interactive and healthier, or just market him as a support.

tbh with the new items he's going to be even more cancer especially if he's going support

Naut's one of the few tanks who has no %HP damage in his kit, and his big shield is literally his ONLY defensive ability.

On top of having fairly mana-intensive skills (with his E's mana cost having been increased).

Also, glancing at champion.gg, he has a ~48% winrate in both top and support, with his jungle rates not even being tracked anymore. That's with a 2% pick rate support and nearly 6% pick rate for top.

Would changes like this make him feel better to be against? I just kinda threw it together.
