You beat Nautilus from level 1. His entire threat is landing Dredge Line, and your Q wind-wall plus W slow make it easy to break his approach or peel the target the instant he hooks. Zone him off the wave, deny the hook angle, and your ADC farms freely; a whiffed Q leaves Nautilus useless for its long cooldown.
