Who Wins

Pre-6, Nautilus wins the level 2 all-in almost every time because his hook into root into passive shield chain is more reliable than your W engage at that stage, so avoid trading at level 2 unless you have a clear positional advantage.
Post-6, you can win the 2v2 if you land your R into W combo cleanly, but Nautilus's R will interrupt your W mid-flight if he reacts fast enough, making execution timing critical.

Your best pattern is to bait Nautilus into using his hook on you or a minion, then immediately W onto Tristana and chain into Miss Fortune's R before Nautilus can follow up.
Your E shield on Miss Fortune before engaging gives her survivability during the R channel, which is the key detail that makes the combo work.

You should not roam aggressively because Miss Fortune has no reliable escape and leaving her alone against Nautilus and Tristana is a near-certain death.
If you do roam, only do so after a successful recall where the wave is crashing into their tower and Miss Fortune is safely recalling at the same time.

Do not use your W as a pure engage without confirming Nautilus's hook is on cooldown, because he will hook you mid-flight or immediately after landing and chain CC your entire team.
Burning your W defensively or for a bad trade leaves Miss Fortune completely unpeeled against one of the strongest hook supports in the game.
