Overall, Nautilus sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Qiyana. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change could signal that Qiyana does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Qiyana.
Additionally, when Nautilus plays with Qiyana on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Qiyana does a decent job of covering Nautilus in team fights.
