Nautilus is bad because he cannot carry a game by himself.

All he can do is provide other people with kills. He has no damage that he himself can do because riot removed most of it through various nerfs. Why play a champion that can only enable other champions to do well? Oh? What's that? Is that called a support? Well we already have one of those you say? Well fuck me.

Sarcasm aside. Nautilus needs his damage back, or you should buff the CC effect on his Riptide to be more inline to the Cinematic. It's great nautilus can gank really well. But that's all he can do. What's going to happen once the laning phase ends? He's got no damage. Long duration's on his CC's. He's like a weak version of thresh in a way.

I would like to see Nautilus be more damage heavy so he can exert some actual pressure.

Damage isn't the thing required to carry a game. Sure it helps. but winning teamfights and making sure that you/your team can push towers is what carrys a game. and if you decimate an enemy team with your nauts cc allowing your team to win. you can pretty much say that you carried that game.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: all of Naut's problems are fixed by not tethering his extra AOE damage to his shield breaking.

Naut support is legit. So just play him there. Also rammus does even less damage and has a 60 percent win rate. So not doing damage isnt a detriment

You've never seen a 4-0 nautilus carry a game then.

A fed tank can easily carry games because they are so incredibly powerful in teamfights.

Nautilus kit prevents him from having so much damage. He can grab you, slow you, shield himself, and stun you. I think he just has a mana and speed issue due to his struggles in jungle.

By that sense a tank is basically a support, tanks require teamwork just because Nautilus doesn't do damage doesn't mean he's bad, he's the cc king for god's sake. Nautilus jungle is good because once he starts the cc it's over for them

i like naut and sej for those reasons, but having to just run if you ever see a jungler because you can't duel worth a crap sucks. maybe they need more base tankiness so they can last long enough for a laner to show up. I think the reflect damage on quill coat could stand to be buffed a little, it currently breaks even at like 10 second camp clears which is kindof a sad value. even on someone like sejuani, it's quite likely that spirit stone is better for clear speed.

umm, nautilus can carry a game by himself, and he certainly doesn't need a dmg buff. you are probably building him pure tank, which would be why you don't get enough dmg to meganuke someone (even though tank nautilus still does some good damage on top of taking none), if you want the high damage you basically need a wits end and that's it, rylias or liandrys if you really want it badly.
