Tips for Playing as Nautilus with Irelia
While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.
Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.
Advice to Understand How Irelia Will Play
Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.
Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.
Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Irelia.
