What happened with nautilus ? And Trundle ?

At first he had good damage on his W. But then balance team nerfed it but lowered the CD on the E so everyone started spamming E. Now they nerfed the E and just left him as such. As a result his jungle clear is abysmal i think he is only viable as a support now. Can we get the W dmg back ?

Is perfectly Ok for to blow up towers with his W from a distance and chunk it but it's not okay for trundle to bite a tower take some of it's damage and use it to his advantage?

Nerf his W's defensive power first, it's a fucking 10 second shield.

Make it ~4-6 seconds and then I'm fine giving it power.

Trundle received several nerfs, but the worst imo was the nerf to Rabid Bite, which forces him to prioritize building damage if he wants to destroy towers in a reasonable time frame. I'm pretty sure the nerf was directed at support Trundle, but it just ended up hurting his laning/split-pushing more than anything. It forces him prioritize leveling W over E, but without focusing on his utility there are just straight up stronger picks.

Ironically, all the nerfs did was make supporting his superior role at all times. Without the ability to split-push, there is zero reason to lane him unless the enemy team is made of bricks. His ult and Pillar are on longer cooldowns and he can no longer split-push effectively unless going nearly full damage. However, he still offers a ton of utility (and can function in low gold environments), making it pointless to put him in a solo lane.

The other nerfs would have been enough, but the Rabid Bite nerf was just foolish and counter-intuitive.
