I find a zzrot portal helps. Even with the nerfs it still helps out since in this case you're not there to push but to hunker down. Zzrot helps freeze the lane closer to your turret and if she freezes on her side, consider ganking other lanes, or farm the top part of the jungle while your portal slows her push. Usually the junglers are too busy ganking the bottom half to even farm the top half of the jungle.
Edit: forgot to mention this is only if you're a tank, or a champ whom can use the portal, or if you're loosing. Sure it's not part of your core build or something but it helps not only save your life early game, but helps your team out greatly late game. Wether it be holding off a save or sieging it helps out a lot.
