Champion Spotlight - Nautilus, the Titan of the...

[quote=AncientNecro]So anyone really getting down with this guy yet? Is he fun to play? Is he worth buying in your opinion? Where does he fit in the meta? Just a few questions before I consider purchasing :P Thanks.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]My buddy played him solo top last night as I jungled GP. I'll put it to you this way, Nautilus top+Ganky jungler like GP, Lee Sin, Maokai...The amount of CC Nautilus has makes it incredibly easy to secure kills. He was 2v1 and I was able to constantly gank the lane for him and get 2 kills every time...Granted the Ashe+Ziggs up there were terrible, but still even if the lane was only pushed to middle, his grab+aoe slow and root is just a disgusting set up for a jungler. I'd say forget putting him in the jungle, give him cloth armor+health pots and ~5 minutes of leveling it's an easy gank. IDK if he'll become a tournament pick though. I'd say he's a strong counter to Shyvana's ability to perma push a lane. Others may disagree, and it was only 1 game thus far that we had him top...But it looks like it might be a new set up.[/quote]

[quote=KngSYCO]In my opinion hes worth it and tanky by nature. as for where he fits you'll have to wait for the ability stats to be released.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]I don't know how his jungle speed is. IMO if it's like he, Nautilus is, a slow and tanky character, then he'd get out jungled by a few champs. But he'd be amazing at stopping invasions.[/quote]

[quote=viper459]i like him top, been building ad bruiser and liking it, maybe try ap some time, or full tank seems nice. he feels to me a bit like a malphite top, almost un-killable and good at securing the gank, but otherwise not that super. in teamfights he's a beast tho.[/quote]

But he'd be amazing at stopping invasions. [/quote] His clear time is like... 3:10 or something. Skill order, WEWQ. Level 4 mid ganks, etc. Starting at blue buff with Cloth+pots. Speed was gauged with no leash and very little optimization.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]that's not horrible I suppose. ^_^ I still think he might be a strong solo top giving someone else the jungle.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I'm working on putting him solotop soon. I need a build though. I may just build him like Shen. :P Only, boots of mobility instead of Mercs.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]do you know what his time to ding level 4 was?[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Cloth Armor HPx5 start HoG+Philo maybe? Boots of "situation" Glacial Shroud FoN or Sunfire I'd think would be a strong base. Durability/GP10 If you can get FoN/Sunfire (depending on threats) early enough. IDK how that sounds to you. But that's how I've been building Cho when I solo top lately.[/quote]
