She shuts down so many top laners. Take Jax for instance. Pre 6, he doesn't deal enough damage to actually concern me, and I stand in his wave, AA'ing his face every time he so much as thinks CS. Post 6, his damage rises, but he'll never actually catch me. Riven and Irelia are probably the hardest melee top laners for AD Nid, but even they have to be very careful against AD Nid, simply because of how easily she harasses you. Her early game is much stronger than people care to admit, and I have no idea why. She has a heal, a free ward, is ranged. That's the makings of a pretty insane top laner. Her biggest problem is a lacklustre teamfight potential, but that can be overcome by simply being intelligent and targetting the AD or AP carry. There's allo the fact that you SHOULD have absolutely creamed your top lane opponent so hard they don't know which way is up, and look at every bush with the same trepidation as when an AP Teemo is knocking about. That means that their bruiser, who in the case of Riven/Irelia, will be underfed and therefore useless. Fat load of good it is to be able to dive if you instantly explode.
