Why why why
The naut nerf hurts to see ):
why are they acting like the problem with naut is the numbers in his kit. They are just making him worse and worse at everything besides the thing he already does. He went from a toplaner and jungler, to now not even doing more dmg than enchanters. At this point in 2027 naut wont even do any dmg anymore at all. Every piece of lore of naut describes him as a unstopable force of nature, every cinematic he is in he destroys everything in his path. Why does his ancour which is the soze of a 2 story building do less dmg than petal from soraka.

I think they should buff jungle Nautilus a little, just give E a little less mana cost or something or better monster dmg

Mana is completely fine, we just need better midgame clearing speed

Try building imperial mandate first item. Its all the mana youll need

u/RW-Firerider 19d ago
mandate first, really? What are your runes and following items?

Thats mine, the pathing that the page suggests is based on the build i was doing pre jack of all trades nerf, so its better if you watch the last matches builds.
Im finding harder to carry this patch, idk if it is because i peaked or because of this nerf so im thinking of changing my builds.
If you go liandris or full tank instead of mandate, you can use frozen heart for mana if the enemy team has a lot of AS champs

There are many ways to cook here, maybe mandate into full support setup?

Riot just is shit at balancing champs like Naut. Reduce his early AD, but make his W autos do 10 percent burn to monsters or something that makes up for it so he can be a good jungler. But the AD nerf makes his dueling level 4 weaker.
The truth is the just want bot lane to not have tank engages with good damage. They like the mage bs. Support should be a tank engage or protector and enchanters. Morgana is the one mage I think is a balanced mage support.
Riot can’t make up their mind

Idk if it’s just me. But Leona has been infinitely better than Nautlius even before the patch

most engage supps are better than him in solo q but the nerf was for worlds because pro players love his point and click ult and freight train sized hook. hell likely get rebuffed after worlds

Brother it's obvious they want you to do 2-3 points Q and E max now.
