I'm a big fan of Naga Siren, but whenever I watch or join tournaments and competitive matches, I don't see her around. Is there a reason for this? Or it's just because she is rarely played?

shes fairly played actually. Riptide has very high damage at level and is pretty spammable, ensnare is a physical disable (goes through magic immunity), mirror images at lvl 4 are pretty good (like pl illusions) and sleep is a great setup. Shes been played more due to the buffs in 6.78.

Try watching Team Liquid matches, recently they've played her as a Solo Mid quite often (whenever she isn't banned or picked by the other team). Here's some games from "The Defence 4"

Team Liquid vs Team Dignitas (Dignitas ran her in these matches)

Game 1 : id = 215777204
Game 2 : id = 215745550

Team Liquid vs Lion's Pride

Game 2 : id = 213303072

Team Liquid vs Artyk Gaming

Game 1 : id = 213201681
Game 2 : id = 213226795

and many many more

so basically, Team Liquid almost always picked Naga whenever the other team didn't

Teams like fnatic and TL also run as a support and riptide cd became 10 seconds at all levels which made her a viable mid. Some teams put her as the carry as well.

Almost any LGD game form Ti2 has Naga banned or picked.

Also Xyrus, did you try you links? They do not work.
My lone druid starting items are 12 Iron wood branches, 6 for the hero and 6 for the bear. Even if the bear does not get stats more twigs are OP on any hero.
