Playing Nemesis is like being on a roller coaster while trying to drive through a ring of fire on a motorcycle while defusing a bomb. I think I'm in love.
Her only weaknesses I can think of are strong autoattackers like Odin or any ADC, or gods like Polymir with access to LONG hard CC.
I just had a match, ended up 16-5-8, and I recovered half my health in the middle of combat when Poseidon decided to ult me. BIG mistake, he nearly one-shotted himself.
This is a perfect example of why skillcap/ceiling should not affect balance design. She can absorb nukes and dish out absurd damage while healing herself. It doesn't matter if it is difficult to do.
I wouldn't really consider shielding Poseidon's ultimate difficult to do, to be honest. Aegis is a standard counter to it. Her shield is just a super counter to it. In fact, everything about her is easy - her ultimate can't miss, her second skill has a ridiculous hitbox, and she has great escaping potential with her double-dash and shield.
I disagree with your ending statement that sill ceiling shouldn't affect balance design, although I do think that it shouldn't play as high of a role in it as skill floor.

I played around with her last night in a practice joust! Had soo much freaking fun with her, I can definitely see my self picking her up as my main jungle. Those post 5 ganks are godlike atm
I dont think there is much problem with Nemesis, really like her 3, its wat a defensive skill should be like, only 1 sec shield to reflect damage, i used it on anubis ulti and dealt him little damage and escaped it, also would be awesome against the kraken. Her 1 reminds of Tyr's but much easier to execute. Skill 2 can damage multiple opponents. Her ulti lacks a bit in visual impact. But beware, she is a god who can get triple, quadras and pentas!

I can't tell if you agree or disagree with me, to be honest. It supports what I stated, after all, but using it as a reply without saying "I agree" seems odd.
