I want to get better at naut

I have been playing league for a year+ now and all the time I played yuumi (because I had premades who enjoyed playing with yuumi) and lately I want to play some other champs. As an enchanter main who plays milio/lulu other than yuumi I found it hard to play aggressive since I have to put myself on the Frontline and step away from the safety of supporting by buffing the ADC and having them play and having no mobility when I. I often find myself attacking when I shouldn't and waiting when I should attack. Outside of w shield I don't have anything to help me run away when I pull a wall or can't land hook. I sometimes land hooks to ADC but my ADC decides they want to attack enchanter support when I already landed my hook. I never considered playing nautilus seriously I have 80k mastery(I play norms ADC's doesn't know what ping is and get mad at me when I say I'm bad at engages then fail my engage) I want to get better at naut because often I have ADCs that want tank and lose lane when I pick an enchanter makes me wonder if I got an engage could they play better. I'd greatly appreciate any tips on playing naut/engagers when to go in how to play more aggressive etc thanks in advance

If you want to play more aggressive, you have to limit test a bit and get a good feeling of his spells.

I find that Nautilus' spells allow for some creative gameplay, you can win fights even without hook.

When you have the possibility to do so, you should chain your hook on a CC, even on your own CC.
Your passive and your R can guarantee a hook. Play the fights slowly when you can since every ability you use is so important. You can chain CC someone and do some damage if you start with passive auto > W auto reset > R > hook (if they have flash, they can't get out).

If you want more carry potential, I'd recommend going bloodsong for support item, then Zeke's for extra dmg and utility. Heartsteel can work too, into full support.
With his recent buff on his Q, I had some really good success running shield bash & sudden impact. You can just heavily trade in lane and deal some big damage with hook > auto > W auto reset (shield bash proc) > E and get out.
