Could we bring Nautilus back to the game?

As Nautilus()is right now, he seems to be the weaker choice to every role. Even as a CC heavy support, he is still outshined by Leona for example. His top is really weak and his Jungle is ok, but still bad compared to other junglers in the game.

Nautilus is meant to be a tank, a really heavy one at that. The thing just is, it doesn't work at all. As a tank without damage or some AoE CC ability, he just kind of exsists but is never a good choice. That's why he is mostly played as a support now, where his tankyness is not as important as his CC.

In top lane, any fighter, bruiser or marksman will win the lane against Nautilus. Only role Nautilus is able to fight is tank. Even then he's not able to kill them but mostly stack grasp and maybe deal some damage. Only thing he has is wave clear, but if you are unable to be even near the enemy champion, it doesn't matter. Jungling on the other hand is a bit more viable. His clear is healthy, but not fast. He has Good CC for ganks, but that's about it. If the enemy jungler has any idea how to play, you will most likely lose half of your jungle and be left behind in XP so much, that it makes ganking lanes difficult. Meanwhile the other jungler just keeps on ganking.

Why is Nautilus so weak? Well one thing is that the last update he had was at patch V8.16 (if you don't count the bug fix at V8.20) where they nerfed his self Shield pretty drastically. Shield health ratio reduced to 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13% maximum health from 9 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 17%. Back then the meta was tank which is why they needed to nerf his shield (I vaguely remember Nautilus back then and oh boy, he deserved that). But the problem right now is, it's not tank meta anymore. Riot has the bad habit of nerfing meta champions but never changing the nerf after the meta has passed. Nautilus is a good example of this. His W is not worth leveling up anymore. The only thing that's supposed to help him most, can actually screw him over if invested points in too early.

Another reason is the damage creep that is constactly in the game. What's the point of a tank without damage if damage is all that matters? I have been torn to shreds in mere second over and over again despite having fairly over 150 of both resitances. Keep in mind that nautilus has a over 400hp shield as well. The only thing Nautilus has is CC, but after using your abilities what's next? Your Q PULLS YOU in the middle of the enemy team and as I mentioned before, you can't survive more than a few seconds even if you are a ridiculous tank.

How to bring Nautilus back to the game then? In my opinion, focus on his Jungle side. My suggestion is making his passive have a bit lover target cooldown on Jungle monsters. Right now Nautilus has a healthy clear, but it is just too slow. As his passive deals bonus physical damage on hitting it, lowering the target cooldown on monsters by something like 25% could help his clear quite a bit. If they'd buff his W instead, they should focus on the damage side of it in jungle. He has healthy enough clear already, more shield is not necessarily needed. If it was his E, removing the 50% damage reduction from additional waves hit for jungle monsters (possibly even champions but I'm not so sure about that) could do wonders.

There are so many ways to bring Nautilus back to the game, Riot just needs to remember that he exists ffs.
