A New Way to Play Naut a.k.a Juggernautilus

Let's talk about the premise for this briefly. Nautilus has been, in the recent meta, relegated to a support rather than a jungler and a top laner like he used to be. When I saw the new Juggernaut items in the late season 5 however, I saw the opportunity for him to become a force to be reckoned with in the top lane. With a great passive for last hitting, large anounts of tankiness and trading potential, as well as HUGE damage with this new build, I could see him becoming a menace in the top lane. To start off let's talk about runes: Reds: flat ad - adding to your empowered auto attack, this is great for csing and trading as your abilities won't do much Yellows: Armor - no explanation needed Blues: Mr, Armor, Health, or Attack Speed - The attack speed is if You know how to snowball your lane and plan to go more offensive. Quints: AD, Armor, or health. Masteries: I go 12/0/18 taking Grasp of the Undying. in the ferocity tree, take Fury, Feast, Natural Talent, and Oppressor in the resolve tree, take Unyielding, Tough Skin, Veteran's Scars, Insight, Swiftness, and Grasp of the Undying Items: For first Item, I go Titanic Hydraitem 3748 . Nautilus is a tank and a submarine so the name fits in multiple ways. This Item not only passively empowers your autos but the active is a free auto reset that you can use after your initial auto + w reset combo making it a three hitter. this also makes the grasp of the undying proc hit harder as well as give you some waveclear. For boots, you have three choices Mercury's Treadsitem 3111 for mr and tenacity, Ninja Tabiitem 3047 for the armour and basic attack damage reduction, and (if you are very ahead) berserker's greavesitem 3006 for more autos. The second item I take is usually Dead Man's Plateitem 3742 or Sunfire Capeitem 3068 for the armour and health. Next I tend to take Sterak's Gageitem 3053 for the health and damage buff but this is interchangeable with Randuin's Omenitem 3143 or Righteous Gloryitem 3800 or Banshee's Veilitem 3102 . Fifth is situational but if you are ahead I would take Trinity Forceitem 3078 . The synergy with your w auto reset/q+passive proc gives you huge burst for the three-hit combo. However, You may want to buy a Frozen Fistitem 3025 instead if you need more armour and cdr, Warmogsitem 3083 for more Health, or Frozen Malletitem 3022 . The final Item is situational, and I normally go for a health/defense Item last, normally I pick Ohmwreckeritem 3056 , Locket of the Iron Solariitem 3190 , Thornmailitem 3075 , or Frozen Heartitem 3110 . Playstyle: For playstyle, You want to be aggressive in lane whenever your w is off cooldown. Your Passive proc and w reset deals A LOT of damage and the shield makes any punishment difficult. Use q sparingly and only if you intend to secure the kill or the try to run away after what tiny amount of damage they poke you with. However, there are some champions you DO NOT AT ANY COST ENGAGE. Do not engage - Aatrox Aatrox Teemo Teemo (at early levels) Trundle Trundle Quinn Quinn MonkeyKing Wukong (unless they are behind) Renekton Renekton (at early levels) Olaf Olaf You will crush - Vladimir Vladimir Fiora Fiora Gnar Gnar (in the early game, late game he will be too slippery) Irelia Irelia (early game, if she builds sustain it depends) Mordekaiser Mordekaiser (you have so much cc and you outdamage him early-mid game unless he has his dragon) Tryndamere Tryndamere (If you trade quickly and cc properly) Riven Riven (again, if you play your cards right)
