His damage is good as long as his shield doesn't break, as soon as it pops his damage practically drops to 0. His other skills have decent burst early on, but late game they're mostly CC tools.

Nautilus isn't a good duellist at all, which makes dealing with invaders a very big problem if your team doesn't/can't help you. It also means he can be quite team dependent if he can't get ahead far enough.

He also has a hard time pulling off Baron/Dragon steals, which in turn can make it hard to make a come back if you're behind. A lot of other junglers can easily hop over a wall and at least attempt a steal.

Finally he's not played a lot, so banning him would be a waste 99% of the time. There are a lot of champs that are at least as powerful as Nautilus, if not more, which are also a lot more popular.

All that said, it can quickly change. I remember when they buffed Nautilus last season, he suddenly became a lot more popular in picks and bans. They quickly nerfed him again after that so he dropped back to his usual unpopular state, but for a few weeks he was pretty much a standard pick/ban.
