@GMD I'm not a top main but:
Renekton you just can't outtrade. Best shot would be to get some armor early on and run
Teleport and try to beat him after 6 since he doesn't spike as hard as J4/Darius do.
Shyvana you can easily outtrade with short trades because she 100% relies on DPS with her W. Even though she has no mana, she has low health sustain so if you stick with short trades and don't blow all your mana on trades, you'll come out on top.
@Blitzball
J4 top is okay-ish. He can work top but has a lot of bad matchups. Zed has 0 lane presence till he gets BORK and LW but once he has he becomes a monster splitpusher. Not 100% sure about nidalee.

@GMD:
As Jarvan against Renek:
you only have a window of opportunity in early levels where Renk hasn't stacked his fury yet. other than that it's always a losing matchup.
As Jarvan against Shyv:
You can't ever fully engage on her (most champs can't, which is why she's good) and you can probably only q harass. there are issues with mana so i'd just suggest focus on farming.
As Darius against Renek:
it's the same but if you land Q early on you can actually be able to zone renek out for a while. you capitalize on that and you're able to go even for a while.
As Darius against Shyv:
Abuse your Q if you can early on. I'm pretty sure you can outtrade her if you auto once or twice and then q.

Nida:
Well if u play it smart u can atleast go even
- got sustain
Thing about ad nidalee is she is rather **** in tfs, u gotta keep splitpushing
If u do it right she's quite a pain to 1v1 and well just Hard to catch.
Pre 6 u got no killing potenial unless Ur opponent is dumb enough to duel u while under the effect of bushwhack.
U dont really want any ganks as nidalee specially not per 6.
Ur level 6 is quite strong since its a lotta magic dmg and Ur opponent should be behind due to constant poking beforehand.
Well she is a safe pick and wins vs any melees without inbuild sustain prolly wouldnt recommend her for soloq specially since u seem like u havent played it before.
Oh wait I am no Diamond
