Riot, show Nautilus a little love

An easy fix to make Nautilus relevant again would be to slightly buff the DoT on his W. This would allow him to be able to trade and farm better without having him broken like before.

Nautilus has a Auto attack root, an AOE slow, A displacement stun and a Knockup that knocks up anyone in the way point and click..

Nautilus is completely overloaded. No thanks

All that CC doesn't mean much if you can't kill anyone. The only way tanks are effective is if they can actually do enough damage to kill someone in a fight. Otherwise you can basically ignore them.

Shen has 1 CC. Voli has 1 CC. Shyvana has no CC. Mundo has an easy sidestep slow. Taric cant solo anyone.

But you're 100% right about malphite maokai zac and sion. All tanks that can ''solo'' any squishy in seconds tbh.. cant disagree

Even voli is stupid tanky and can kill someone. But nautilus has 3 ccs so cant give him damage

I'm not defending that Nautilus should gain more damage; I think he's fine where he's at. They've already nerfed his E twice in the past year which was upsetting, but didn't hurt him too much. I main Nautilus support and I do more damage in the lane than my ADC does until I get him fed.

I'm just arguing against the point that tanks don't kill people, because they sure as heck do.

Never said tanks dont kill people. I said you're a tank, you shouldnt be killing anyone :]

Tanks can kill people and should have the ability to be such a threat. But not in a short fight way. Tanks are like grindstones, slowly breaking you if you can't break them.

Example: Sunfire, a primary tank item, is more effective the longer it's near opponents.

Plus waveclear.

Also Nautilus's root can't affect the same target again for a few seconds. 8 I think.

They shouldn't be deleting people. That's the difference.

Champs that can one shot people need to be in danger of being one shot in return. Champs that take a long time to die should take a long time to kill people.

The problem with the game right now is that you have champs that can one shot people, but take awhile to kill. And then there are champs that take forever to kill anyone but they die relatively fast.

his cc allows other people to kill them

Not to mention his shield can be used as an autoattack-reset which, between that and the easy sheen-reset with E, opens the door up for cool AD builds based on item 3078 / item 3025 !! That's ~300% of your attack damage plus some magic damage in one quick rotation!

item 3078 item 3053 item 3748 is real fun in the toplane :^)

also, if you are not building full AP nautilus in the mid lane, you are playing him wrong

If you are playing Naut mid lane, you are already playing him wrong.

We already saw enough Nautilus for this season. Wait for the next time they rotate the meta around the tanks - probably after the assasin meta becomes boring (after the assasin's update)

LuggJul 22, 20161 votes

Personally I love having Naut viable. He helps shut down the cancerous mobility champs.
