Nautilus is supposed to be serious, but he looks downright ridiculous || Casual Champion Review

[@YouTuber-of-Vibes]

He may look goofy, but his theme in the cinematic admittedly gives him insane aura.

[@Mortal-Knite]

Even the thought of how you're gonna beat him if he was accurately tall too

[@Machosause]

Honestly I disagree with the "walking around feels weightless" and stuff. To me, the wading through the current, and slow stomping makes him feel way heavier.

[@oilyslugpersimmon4759]

itd be cute if naut had a special voiceline for when samira throws her coin away

[@toxicvideo1103]

A good joke for the intro could have been "Why doesn't it matter if you lose a match as naut? Because its naut-a-lose"

[@thesolarhunter]

Base skin wise I think Naut needs elements from the deep sea. Make him growing coral on him or bits of seaweed like the crew of the Flying Dutchman from Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@jowoman7799]

Nautilus was always my favorite design in League of Legends. Something about a Big Daddy ( Bioshock ) looking diver coming out from the sea in that is so cool to me. But sadly, they don't take him seriously. If he was taken seriously, he would be more accurate in how he should look and act. He's a walking tank, and his story is dark. But that doesn't reflect his in-game character. Nautilus is my main support, and I'd love an ASU as his abilities to me are perfect. His hook is so good.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

I actually think his E ought to be base + % max health, with the AP scaling only affecting the flat part. This is the main thing he's missing versus a lot of top/jungle flex picks. You could also reduce its cooldown again. Alternatively, change the cooldown to flat 7 and flat 60 mana cost, but make it so that it refunds 15% remaining CD and mana each time Nautilus immobilizes an enemy champion. They nerfed it because spamming E in support nautilus was *insanely* oppressive, but if each wave deals like 20 - 50 + 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4% max health damage, he can maximize its efficacy in the Jungle without the damage being oppressive in support role.

[@fanficologist6621]

Volibear managed to become this brutal and savage demigod yet still retain some of his goofiness, so the capability is there.

[@cloudynguyen6527]

Rise, Rapture, rise We turn our hopes up to the skies Rise, Rapture, rise We'll go down with our sinking paradise Holy fuck. If they ever rewrite Nautilus backstory. I want them to canonized some kind of sinking dystopia with Nautilus as someone who happens to stumble upon and becomes the mainstay of that place

[@mr.patata7739]

I love the interactions lor gave him! He's like the tired uncle from the deeps, a friend of pyke and a masive fizz hater (me).

[@sirbobulous]

Ah my main. Love this boi. So simple, so satisfying. And yeah, baby's first Thresh is spot on. I fall back to Nautilus when I just want to play. Thresh for when I want to be sweaty. And I guess there are other characters in the game or something? Who don't have hooks? And his Legends of Runeterra voice lines making him grumpy grandpa to the seas creatures is wonderful.

[@papertowels9162]

To hook or not to hook. Always hook, there is no other way.

[@sirbobulous]

@@papertowels9162 Would it be suicidal to hook right now? That thought takes too long to have. I've already thrown the hook!

Nautilus looks like a Scooby Doo villain. He looks like a dude dressed as a ghost scaring people off the property for the doubloons sunk in the nearby lake.

12:02 Yorick Teleported in, killed Baron, and went back??? WHY DIDN'T HE PUSH!?!

[@SirPotato43]

Priorities

[@AlphaHydrod]

11:36 the thing is, naut has a nasty cc chain, so if he landed anything or even if he didnt, you die in the gank. He fell behind in clear speed and riot had no interest in keeping that playstyle so they canned it and kicked him from jungle.

[@Nervehamer]

On the topic of Nautilus being a boss in the league MMO, I think it would be more impactful if he starts off as a world boss before going onto be an actual raid boss. Imagine going about your business in bilgewater and before leaving for another region or something you have the option to pay the tithe to not have nautilus show up and prevent you from reaching your destination, but if you have a significant enough group of players you can fight him to drive him off for some items and a large sum of gold from previous collected tithes.

[@GabyyRose]

It's crazy to see that we are almost at 100 of these videos ! You've been going at it for almost two years and I've been watching (almost) religiously every week ! All those fanarts everytime, it shows that the viewers love this show and are very dedicated ! You've created a great series Nicky I hope you know this !

[@AA-kw6le]

Hey you finally talked about my favourite champion and character (Its been 84 years)! Ok, a couple of things I picked up on, so as far as I can piece together in regards to the timeline (which I realise isn't very reliable at the moment, or any moment for that matter) you mentioned that he would have been around at the time of the blessed isles but to me it just seemed like a name that stuck around because everything I can find points to him being from much later, AS IN the salvage and stuff they were finding at the ocean floor might have been from a civilisation such as the Blessed Isles, which would explain why there would have been so many riches to find at one point, because they had their advanced trinkets and magic artefacts and whatnot so realistically any ship that would have come from Helia could hold priceless things. Probably that means that at the time of the ruination it's likely that only the buhru resided at the Serpent Isles. That said it's largely unspecified how much later he actually did exist, in my interpretation he should have been around at the beginning of the treasure hunting expeditions taking place near the Serpent Isles, which I think was a main reason why Bilgewater managed to grow and thrive for some time. Then between the time of his death and his reawakening it's been many years, mainly enough years for his former crew to die but in such a perilous industry that doesn't tell us much. ITS VERY UNCLEAR. But it seems that from the time of his reawakening to "modern day" it's been enough time for him to become a bit of a legend (laugh). One more thing is, I noticed you brought up the problem with him and Pyke practically using the same backstory, except there is no problem, everything is great and they are both great and fantastic. What I mean is, as an enjoyer of this character trope, the more the merrier. If they had somehow turned out to be very similar in the ways they act and their attitudes, or ended up looking similar, I would absolutely understand criticising their past. But their current forms absolutely cannot be confused for each other (unlike some league champs...), not to mention that vengeance as a motivation is not in any way unique to just these two characters, it's okay for both of them to have a piece of this trope cake as well. They are both very cool and good, and when Wild Rift released them together I thought it was really nice of them to just acknowledge their similarities while completely proving that they are so different in so many ways. Since neither of them is particularly joyful I headcanon them to be on good terms and I think they would enjoy playing battleships together. I think that's all. No wait also his diving suit being really old school and with red metals involved is just perfect but I agree it could have been executed a bit better. Also whoever built it as a diving suit needs to be fired asap I know technology has had its rough patches even in our world before it could evolve properly but I know a death trap when I read about one. Like I know it probably wasn't built for what he encountered but that thing wouldn't even have lasted even if everything else went as planned. Honestly that thing could have been built by Oceangate, and that wouldnt be their first titan of the depths man I'm just upset at people's ignorance sometimes (both real and fictional). Ok that's everything. TL;Dr 1. Naut is an old boi but not ancient. 2. Pyke and Naut can coexist. 3. I forgot so I'll just say Nautilus is epic and the best character in the game. Oh and he has a funny passive.

[@joaoviniciushochscheid3858]

Nautilus: born to be a titanic ocean Monsters, forced to be silly

[@noodles65]

finally got to one of my mains, woooo people often mention naut’s story is so similar to pyke’s, which yeah i think i agree. i feel like the blueprint of those similar stories works better for pyke, because he’s more of a human being and an actual character than how it was put, a force of nature like nautilus, so they should go with the alternate version of naut’s story where he was described as pretty much “timeless, nautilus was always there we don’t know his origin if he is or even was a human behind that diver suit and he was always the enforcer of the bilgewater tithe” to differentiate himself from pyke’s more personal vengeance story. unfortunately it would lose the whole “he became the superstition” thing which i agree is awesome but too similar to pyke, both need to have their own identities i feel. on the design honestly yeah i wish naut was bigger, it would make him stand out in his modern role as support, imagine how unique that would be for a support to be that massive like no other, and it would make sense among other tank supports who aren’t as supernatural or more human-like in their personality and features. basically all the tank supports minus naut are humans except for tahm kench, but i think he shouldn’t be that large because tahm kench should be alluring and approachable and disguise himself as a “friend”, so making him huge would be unfitting imo. on your point about nautilus jungle i think he cant jungle that well for two reasons: -riot probably doesn’t want good tank junglers because they make pro play boring -his ganks don’t work well in jungle because his hook is blocked by all the twisty and complex terrain, so his hook works better in an open lane with less things to obstruct it, and even better on support where you don’t need to CS so you get to position in really aggressive ways without much consequence. because of aforementioned freedom from farming.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

Counterpoint: in the jungle, his hook has an incredibly reliable fallback prospect if aimed well. In other words, you're hooking to get closer to your target. If you near-miss in the jungle and hit a wall, you still get closer to the target and get a huge refund on the Q cd. In an open lane, if you miss, you're actually further from the target than you started, so in theory, Nautilus should be scarier in the jungle in the hands a capable pilot. The problem of course being that Nautilus can't actually *do* anything once he's close to his target. He needs to land the Q so that his allies gain ground on the target and can actually do all the damage.

[@ondrabergmann2955]

I love the snapcuts to grey screens XD, especially 10:44

[@alterranlongbow5067]

9:50 as many ways as it fails (including being a blizzard game), heroes of the storm has some excellent spectacular scale. it isnt applied as much with characters but tychus has an ultimate where he can call in a mech and pilot it around and the mech is actually really big and one big difference it has to league is that there's multiple maps in the main gamemode, with their own objectives. there's a diablo map that's a battleground between heaven and hell and these 2 giant warriors battle it out and you have to help them as tiny mortals and its awesome

[@pessoa.nadanormal]

11:18 I disagree, some nautilus mains and even LoR started viewing him in a good light, he's a good guy now

[@jordanleighton6893]

7:32 I love that he brings up Malph and Asol and then says ‘especially Naut’ my brother

[@rocodude]

Fun fact the thing that really stopped naut jungle (or at least me and every other naut jungle main I know) was them nerfing his move speed, made rotating absolutely miserable

[@bradventura7254]

Yeah, the only other jungler with that low movement speed, is Kindred, and they deal more damage an have a lot of mobility outside base speed

[@Danothyus1]

I could see a way to compromise his size to feel titanic. Remove his legs, increase the size of his upper body, and make a ring-like water effect around him like he is coming out of the sea. He is already a mythical creature/godlike being, so him bringing out a piece of the ocean whenever he is shouldn't be a problem.

[@larrycapija3570]

[@emerald_lord2267]

Hell you could even see his kit as raidboss mechanics passive- constant CC meaning you have to tank swap Q - dodge the hooks to not get cc'd and pulled in as a healer or dps class W- Enrage phase E- raidwide damage that you have to walk TOWARDS to take less damage R- Tracking ult on a healer that knocks up everyone in the way they have to kite around away from the raid group.

[@hamdepaf6686]

The reason that Naut's and Pykes lore are so similar is because Pykes lore is Nauts old lore. I don't quite remember the reason, but something something would be better fitted for Pyke. So they gave Naut a new one, just seems that they didn't have so many ideas what to do with him, so they just made a copy and plastered it onto him. Basically the typical "can I copy your homework? Sure but don't make it do obvious" just that they take the original homework and have you stuck with the copy.

[@Daneon2]

I've wondered if the Naut feel would be better if he simply dragged the anchor instead of carrying it

[@1nulluser336]

I used to play naut jungle back in the day and you pretty much hit the nail on the head as to why he got pushed out of the jungle with his clear speed falling off. The other reason he got pushed out was that he wasn't independent enough so he got counter jungled pretty easily and if your teammates suck or don't follow up you were screwed.

[@mindofshadow1780]

[@monnad540]

Back when Nautilus first came out nobody really picked him but i loved him. I was horrible and could only do support. So i just played Naut supp. and every Ezereal and Vayne that i teamed up with had a killing field at bot lane. Installed league 8 to 10 years later and i see no changes. It hurts but its funny

[@ohno8955]

i hate how he looks so damn huggable even if he is metal solid i need to hug him

[@HoodedHavoc]

I do wonder if, for a future vgu or asu, it'd be benificial to see more of his human personality come out; maybe even let us see what he looks like underneath the suit, like they did for Pantheon (granted Panth showing his human face is part of his character). I like the idea of Nautilus looking and acting like a grandpa, kinda, trying to make sure everyone respects the tides. Maybe he could look like an old man with a big beard, like Reinhardt in OW, but give him the Davey Jones treatment and make his beard made out of tentacles and be covered in barnacles. I also think making Nautilus more friendly, yet stern, could help differentiate him from Pyke a bit more.

[@cds7012]

Thank you for your work, I will be waiting for more projects your heart will bring to us

[@rubiconprime1429]

Nautilus could increase in size with gold collected. It’s like he’s collecting the tithe, thus the legend expands increasing his power

[@LucasTheSlime]

I think in the MMO he could work really well in the same way the Butcher works in diablo 4, option to pay the tithe or not, if you or someone in the dungeon dont pay you have like a 1% chance of Nautilus just breaking a part of the map and spawning as a giant hard boss out of nowhere

[@RakanMain]

at 3:30 if you edit out your deaths, did they ever really happen? learned about this game changing move from Darkkmane. What a legend

[@ma3travissamuel457]

You should do a ranking video based on all the X/10 you’ve given champions when you run out.

[@maybedarithix5793]

I think some champs should have these big boss moments or fantasies like Ragnaros in HOTS who eventually just becomes the raid boss hes suposed to be with his special... I think the closest thing we have is like Renekton and Nasus growing up a little bit and going nuts or maybe Aatrox turning into a lifesteal freak, but, nothing more than that-

Naut getting a little mini game where he collects tithes from enemy lanes would 100% bring him back into the jungle space imo.

She has shields, before the rework, she had self healing, and also she steals resistances on hit, that seems like a fighter tank on paper. Did you know she has a voiceline when she gets a pentakill?
