So he has anti-flash grab, aoe slow, root, and a really damaging shield (in early to mid game) ability at level 4. He is not meant to deal crazy dmg, it is actually very cool that he still deals such big amounts of dmg with only tank items. The only maybe difficult stuff at ganking might be to his Q skill shot, but it has a relatively big "hit-range"(dat anchor) imo to grab somebody.

Late game Maokai might have the better kit in team fights, cuz of his insane ult-dmg-reduction and more spammable CC through Q. But nevertheless Nautilus has 4 types of CC and this let's him be viable through all the stages of the game. Nautilus just grabs them to u and totally lock them down. I luv both. <3
