The Shaco Nautilus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nautilus, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Shaco sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nautilus. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Nautilus helps Shaco perform poorer in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shaco is an ally to Nautilus, he sees a small decrease in his complete damage dealt. This difference could signal that Nautilus does not help cover for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Shaco is played alongside Nautilus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Nautilus. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Nautilus.
Moreover, when Shaco plays with Nautilus on the same side, he often receives more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Nautilus does a poor job of covering Shaco during teamfights.
There is no perfect ally for Shaco that will always be his top ally. However, overall, Nautilus is a very bad ally for Shaco. By playing on the same team as Shaco, he lowers their win rate by -4.2% to 45.2%. This demonstrates that there is a terrible bond between Shaco and Nautilus that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Nautilus has a much lower diffuclty than Shaco. That means Shaco players don't need to be very careful when finding Nautilus allies to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Working alongside, Shaco players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by pairing Shaco and Nautilus together, you probably will not be giving your team a great deal of engage. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Nautilus ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
