Only one person has said nidalee other than me? Cmon, there are no nidalee enthusiasts out there in the world of aram?

Karma.

I've always done great with Amumu. Played Janna yesterday and got nearly 60 assists, which was nice too.

Ziggs

I like getting the couple tanks that are lackluster in the other modes but are actually mid tier ARAM. Senjuani and Trundle specifically, but there are others also. Then it's Karma, man I use to think Karma sucked and I easily would say she's my ****tiest champion, but for some reason on ARAM I am pretty decent with her.

Nasus doesn't get a lot of love in ARAM, but I always try to trade for him since I think he's actually quite strong.
9/21/0 Tanky AD masteries & runes (armor pen reds, flat armor yellows, mr per level blues, mix of Flat HP and movement speed quints.
Standard build is Trinity Force + counter-build tanky whatever the enemy team has.
Start with a good mana item like tear, or start building sheen.
Max E for pokes and try to focus on farming Q. It's never going to be as good as farming a top lane in SR, but it doesn't have to be. I usually end up with +70-100 damage on Q.
W is incredibly strong, max it second. It'll make poking incredibly easy for the rest of your team and absolutely destroys AD carries and bruisers.
I like trying to make Udyr work, but sometimes team comps don't allow it
