How to beat Nautilus as Renata Glasc: the early game

Only level 1 is yours before Nautilus's hook comes online; the instant he hits 2 with Dredge Line (Q), Titan's Wrath (W) shield, and his passive root auto, he out-engages you, so stand behind minions to deny his hook and give up the aggression. His hook plus the chain locks longer than your tether holds, so let him commit first. Mark him with an auto in the gaps, tether once the hook has already missed, and keep the shield-speed for your carry's escape rather than for your own approach.
