Gameplay
Nemesis really relies on her slows and gap close to kill enemies, and wants to use her shield to guarantee winning trades. As such, with an auto attack heavy build, you should be careful how you engage. I would recommend trying to get close to your target first and start autoing them. When they try to get distance from you, use your dashes to close the gap and your 2 to slow them down so you can stick to them and finishing autoing them down. Feel free to use your 3 to keep yourself healthy in the trade but be wary of any hard cc that might be coming your way because it will prevent your 3 from being useful. In a team fight you have the capability of burning down a tank or flanking and taking down a squishy really quickly. If looking for a large fight, find an opportunity to ult one of the tanks on the enemy team to gain some survivability, or use your ult on a full hp squishy to deal a lot of damage right off the bat and then chase them down.
Conclusion
Nemesis is a really fun god, and can perform really well as long as you are thinking about where you want to position and how you want to take a fight. She has really good damage output, and the potential to solo major objectives once you get some items online.
