These cannot be considered buffs for him. Maybe he can clear better.... but his already shitty damage will be worse meaning every jungler will still just counter him... I don't understand why we can't leave the shield alone and give buffs and not nerfs. They are clearly nerfs.... wtf
Tank junglers will receive Cinderhelm next patch, which gives an AoE burn like Sunfire Cape and a percent of their bonus health as additional health. This will help his clears through consistent damage (which is independent of his shield) and help him stack health more efficiently (for a larger, longer lasting shield).
The cooldown on Nautilus' E was reduced from 10s at all levels to 6s->4s and it's mana cost was reduced by 20 at all levels. Since Nautilus didn't build AP often anyways, he isn't really affected by the ratio nerf and it may be used far more frequently.
Basically, his damage will no longer disappear when his shield is destroyed and is far more reliable. This is definitely an overall buff.
Because naut isn't really in a bad position, Riot doesn't want to overwhelmingly buff his E without taking away small parts elsewhere.
They're buffs, they vastly increase his DPS in fights once he gets any amount of cdr
you're objectively wrong, he WILL do more damage
He's a much greater threat in fights now; He doesn't have all of his damage tied to his shield anymore, so you can't just ignore him once you pop the shield. Even his early clear speed is marginally faster, despite what you may think.
