Titan's Wrath (W) shield values have changed! Base shield value lowered to 65/70/75/80/85 from 100/150/200/250/300 Shield now scales on 7/9.5/12/14.5/17% of Nautilus's TOTAL Health from 15% of his BONUS Health.
Im not the best math man here, so how potent is this change? does it make him more viable and when does his PBE w become better than the live value? assuming we are just using hp@ 18 numbers no rune/ masteries
Leaf of the lake2 votesI think this is roughly no change for his very early game, a slight nerf for his early-mid game, and a buff late. With only 500 health at lv1 (he should actually have more), 7% total health comes out to 35, which is exactly the amount he lost on the base shield. He actually has 576 health at lv1, but since the scaling got cut in half for bonus health, depending on how much hp he was getting from runes/masteries, this might actually be a slight early nerf. At lv9, supposing he maxes his shield first, he has 1156 base health, and 17% of which comes out to about 197 (282 total base shield), a net loss in base shield amount. At lv9, it breaks even with the old shield at 924 bonus health (it's only an extra 2% scaling, after all). However, already by lv10, it is almost certainly a buff. With 1242 base health at lv10, a 17% health shield gives about 211, which with the 85 base shield amount comes to about 296, only 4 points away from the old 300 base. With a mere 200 bonus health, it's already breaking even with the old shield. By lv18, when he has 2038 base health, he's getting about 346 on the shield from the base health alone, resulting in 431 base shield at lv18.
Lone2 votesthx riot u fking ruined my main jungle .... dafq with that nerf dude ffs lower rank 5 shield from 300 base to 85 , u fking idiots ? isn't enought i cant take even 3 hits at lvl 1 and shield it's gone now i get like 1 hit ?????? I I I I
50ShadesOfZed1 votesthink about how much total health you have at the end of the game, like 4k, then add it up, the shield gets BIGGER late game
Leti the Yeti1 votesbecause current shield does not take in base health only bonus it has 300(+0) shield strength since we are not using anything else
his new shield guts like 215 base but receives 346 shield strength from his newly accounted for base health 85(+346)
im pretty bad at math myself, dont even play this guy, probably isnt calculating this correctly so take w/ grain of salt
Destínum1 votesAt rank 1, it's a slight buff. At ranks 2,3,4 it's a straight up nerf. At rank 5 it's a buff with 112 bonus health or at level 11.
4nth0l0gy1 votesRiot...please, guys...PLEASE just separate the damage on his W from his shield. PLEASE. Making an ability both offensive and defensive is already confusing, but when it's his MAIN SOURCE OF DAMAGE and ALSO his MAIN DEFENSIVE ABILITY, it becomes too hard to juggle.
xJLx MCHammer1 votesYeah it's a slight nerf mid game, but becomes much better late game
Sailor Mint1 votesAssuming you're running at least 9 points in Defense, it's a small nerf at rank 3/4 if you can't get at least 138 bonus HP by then.
