Nautilus is dangerous the first two levels because his Dredge Line hook can pull himself onto you and his passive roots whoever he auto-attacks, chaining crowd control that punishes a mistimed step. His W shield lets him brawl through your early trades, so at level 2 respect the hook and don't dash blindly into an up Q or you'll eat the full chain.
