Hey guys! Hanjaro here!
A little bit about me - I started playing League in Season 1, towards the end of the season. Since the beginning I was a support main, I enjoyed the 2v2 dynamics much more than 1v1s so I've stuck with it throughout my league career.
I have achieved the rank of challenger at multiple points during seasons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and continue to push for the highest elo I can get.
I love competitive games and have yet to find anything for me that compares to League.
Aside from League, I am a happily married man, father of 2 kids and I am a beloved pet owner. If you guys have any questions about my guides, champions or really anything in general, feel free to stop by my stream!

Why Nautilus?

Nautlius is a strong, early-game support that transitions well into the late game, with his strong zoning and CC abilities. There are rarely any matchups that he cannot be played into, and the pressure he exerts is second to none. He is currently a tier 1 support, with the 2nd highest win rate of all supports.

Flash and Ignite are the staple go to for nearly all support champions, especially with the all-in presence that
Nautilus provides.

The reasoning behind Ignite is that it gives you a lot of extra pressure in lane, and furthermore adds a 40% healing reduction. As Nautilus, you want to snowball your ADC as quickly and efficiently as possible, while zoning off the enemy ADC.

Flash is used for the threat of an all-in engage, and as your primary escape summoner.

Staggering Blow

Staggering Blow (Passive) RANGE: Melee COST: 0 mana COOLDOWN: 6 seconds

INNATE: Nautilus's basic attacks deal 8 − 110 (based on level) Attack damage bonus physical damage and Root icon root his target for 0.75 − 1.5 (based on level) seconds. Staggering Blow applies on-hit effects, and can critically strike. The root will be applied, even if the enhanced attack is dodged, parried, blocked or if Nautilus is blinded. Sivir's Spell Shield will block the root, but not the damage.

Early Game

Level 1 you will want to be levelling your Dredge Line as it's your primary engage tool, and can get you early level 1 kills. You can set up an invade if your team is not afk in base - going through the midlane to the right brush, as you will not be seen by the enemy until it's too late.

You can also set up a brush cheese in lane, and engage straight away onto your opposing laners with Dredge Line, minimum you should be able to blow 1 or both of their Flash, and at best you can get at least one kill.

When you're in laning phase, you want to be a dominant force, pushing and zoning the enemy laners out of cs'ing, with the threat of a Dredge Line engage, or a Flash all in. You want to be looking all the time for potential hook opportunities, granting your ADC easy kills or setting up a gank from your ally jungler.

If you're laning vs a Morgana and/or a Sivir, you'll want to bait their Black Shield and Spell Shield before you make an all in, they're on relatively long cooldowns at the lower levels (26s and 22s), so you can take advantage of this. Baiting can be achieved by any means, moving in an aggressive way, getting into their face to take advantage of your Staggering Blow, or if your ADC has baited a spell such as Jhin's Deadly Flourish.

Level 2 you want to be skilling up Riptide for the slow, so there's even less chance your opposing laners can escape your engage. Then it's onto Titan's Wrath, which is synergistic with Shield Bash, and the reason you take that rune. It also gives you more survivability on your all-in.
You want Control Wards around your bottom brushes to be aware of any impeding ganks coming, and to deny the enemies any vision of where your jungler or you, may be.

Proccing your Relic Shield, you'll want to be focusing the cannon minions as priority, then melee minions, and lastly ranged.

Once you get your first back, hopefully with at least one or two kills under your belt, you want to be getting your ward upgrade (you are still a support after all!), and looking to buy Mobility Boots for the roaming potential. You can set up kills for your midlaner and get them ahead, along with your ADC.
If you can't roam, you want to be maximizing gold for your ADC, and this includes taking tower plates after kills. You can tower dive around level 3 with your Titan's Wrath, depending on an ADC such as Draven, or Tristana, with her easy escape.
