I've heard a lot of debate whether Nautilus is a good champion or not

I was just wondering, can he jungle, solo top and/or support?

If so, how? What makes his skill set so good for these roles?

Also, suppose if I'm going solo top as a tanky AP - will Rod of Ages work?

Natuilus is good on the team because he has a slow a snare a hard cc gap closer and a knockup. He's a cc machine and can work in all lanes reasonably. However if he's a support most of the time he's just going to be an initiator due to the cost of getting tanky. Usually though he's played in the jungle because his ganks are strong from level 2 on.

If you're playing him top then RoA can work in different situations. If you're in a farm lane say against Cho Gath then RoA can work but if you're in a lane against a Renekton only get RoA if you're getting fed.

Yes, Nautilius is a strong champion. He's best suited to the jungle, imo, because his ganks are just brutal. He brings 3 forms of CC to a fight before level 6 (4 after), as well as dealing respectable damage early and mid-game.

My preferred jungle build is focused around getting tanky with some CDR and AS woven in to increase his damage and utility. Something like frozen heart, wits end, mercs, and spirit visage/abyssal is what I would normally do.
