Okay, for the amount of work you have to put to make this guy work he's incredibly weak. I don't know if it's the meta shifting or the tons of indirect nerfs but right now Nautilus is the weakest champion in the game.

It's impossible to clear with him without lane assistance, so you'd better prepare your team to provide damage on the first buff and wards so you know if you're getting invaded (which you probably are since Nautilus is a free kill from levels 1-3).

He WILL fall behind regardless of how well you play - his clear time is that bad. By the time you clear one camp your enemy has cleared two. By the time you do one gank your enemy has done 3 camps.

Also, if you don't have Ancient Golem, Ninja Tabi and some form of MR by midgame you'll not be tanky enough and probably become next to useless (or a CC bot, which is very likely).

tl;dr The jungle carry/bruiser meta has destroyed Nautilus' viability and he's in a really bad spot now. He's become harder to play and more unforgiving mistake wise than ever. One bad move and you'll be a liability for your team. His CC is still extremely efficient but this doesn't change the fact that without a strong enough shield he explodes to any form of burst.
