You simply plays vs bad top laners.

Using Vlad as an example is terrible. His passive is OK but it is way overrated and doesn't make him more tankier than melee fighters.

Most decent opponent will rush MR (and as they play tanks, that simply won't hurt their build by any mean). Couple that with innate sustain (Cho Gath, Irelia, Heca, Trundle...) and Liss simply tickles them after about lvl 7 - 8.

Now in mid lane, she actually can do well if she is not outranged, and serves as a decent LANE COUNTER to the Zed, Kata... that you see everyday. However, once late game come, she has low damage and the huge CC doesn't matter in a 3 tanks meta. The nerf now hurts badly as her sustain damage late game is significantly lowered.
