Nautilus as Support

So I have been playing a lot of thresh, blitz, and leona and got to thinking why there aren't alot of Nautilus supports considering he has as much cc as leona, can tank more than those three, has a grab, and deals a decent amount of damage all things considered. I was just wondering as to peoples views on Naut as a support champ since none support champs have been popping up more in support roles.

Hello, I'm a person who mains support, and from trying naut support, I don't think it is as viable for the following reasons:

  1. He is very slow and has only his q for mobility
  2. He is weak early game, which makes him next to useless if he feeds
  3. Next to useless if he feeds

Hope this helpsNautilus

I main supports, I personally dont enjoy the new meta, I try to advoid the tanky meta and opt for sona,nami,soraka, and janna. 3 of 4 which would almost always decimate naut, the thing is he has a very unreliable early game, all his damage requires you to be up and center, If I ever knew someone was a naut support or just didnt have a real valid support, I would autolock nami/sona and poke you out of lane every three seconds ruining your whole plan of naut support, now say some how you do make it through the laning phase without feeding or being useless, well then your team just succesfully pulled off a kill lane and now you have an extra tanky engager who still is equal to leona, just much more difficult to play as support than leona is lol
