Naut top is actually pretty decent. Careful timing with your w will prevent the majority of damage from enemy pokes (if not all of it). His q to a wall combined with his slow Makes it really easy for him to escape ganks and enables you to ensure a kill if the jungler ganks. Because of his shield he wins 1v1 with the enemy top as they never notice the damage that you're blocking and they're taking.

In teamfights, well anybody nautilus decides to cc is out of the teamfight forever and the damage he deals might not be as immense as other champions but it is noticeable. If your teamamtes have an ounce of sense they can destroy a team who is unable to move from Nauts CC lock.
