Too mobile to be ganked or even caught, pushes really well (ranged, AS boost, powerful AoE abilities with no cost and low CD in cougar form), strong 1v1 and hard to escape from (cougar-Q is an execution type move with huge base damage and really low CD + mobility from Pounce and passive), harasses very well, sustains with E, W is an excellent shred when fighting. Basically she'll spear you to death and run whenever you try to get her. | ||

Stay in bushes, whenever opponent comes to cs run out, chuck a spear, go back into bush. That way you take 0 minion hits and they can't retaliate. I often find that I have no chance to 1v1 my opponent directly, e.g. when fighting trynd top, but there's not much they can do about the bush abuse. | ||

Yeah, I don't know why I feel so weak in early direct 1v1, it doesn't match what I read others saying about nidalee. I'd really appreciate any tips. I'm running apen reds, apen quints, and armor yellow and mres/level blue (IIRC). 21/9/0 masteries. Not optimal offensive masteries (both mpen and apen, just for the flexibility), but still, I haven't been able to flat-out 1v1 anyone I tried in half a dozen or so games. My harrass seemed to do way less damage per spear than I'd think listening to others. I pretty much always start boots+3pot. Is it because I don't run flat ad quints or something? The last person I fought was trynd, in two successive games. Never came close to killing trynd (both trynds went for crit builds). In a 1v1 they'd slaughter me; my harrass never got them low enough because they kept rage-healing, and threatening trades when I harrassed too far from the bush. The first trynd went 4-0 on me because I played too aggressive, the second one never killed me, but it was a giant farm fest that I only won decisively due to jungler help. Starting dblade feels too dangerous because even with boots trynd can catch up easily if you don't have boots pre-pounce; with pounce, he still gets off 1-2 free hits with slow + whirlwind (pounce has lower cd so you get away after that). Wukong also has a much scarier burst than ad nidalee early game, so I couldn't straight-up 1v1 him. (He also has much better escapes and chasing power, at least pre-6.) | ||

Trynd is like one of the best counters to Nidalee lane though. Almost every champion other than him you can 1v1 post-6 because cougar form burst is ridiculous. If for some reason you can't effectively trade, like if it's Trynd and he heals just as much as you do, then you can just cougar and insta-clear every wave and keep tower pushed. It's hard for someone to straight up fight you if they constantly have minions at their tower. You just have to make sure you keep river warded. | ||

Run if jungler comes or they try to fight you. You have brush. And traps. Nidalee is a champ that you need good csing skills with, because a lot of times, you're just going to split push and outfarm your opponent. Sorry, I'm not sure what you're saying with "best way to poke is to just push to their tower and poke them". If you can't 1v1, how do you push the lane? In human form you have range, but you don't push particularly fast. In cougar form you can push fast, but you have to get in the midst of the wave, where your enemy can start fighting you if they want. Do you just jump in, clear wave, jump out, and accept that you'll lose a bunch of health in the process? Or do you first force them away by poking from bushes until they back off, then jump in? (I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just have no clue how other people lane Nidalee, e.g. how aggressive you should be while farming) As for trynd, if he's strong against Nid, that explains my troubles, thanks. | ||

Edit: also, is frozen heart better than atmas? Atmas only affect the damage on Q(cougar). While FH gives more than double the armor, and decreased cool = more spell spam (so moar damage) and more mobility with pounce spam. | ||

Concerning AD nidalee, I prefer to get triforce because it allows you push lanes faster and therefore get their towers. You can win games solely and it's really crap because you're never in teamfights, but ir requires some mates with good def abilities who would not let the other dives under tower. I will try the tanky nidalee but I would like to know what you build after wriggles. | ||

And yeah tanky nid - wriggles, then situational really. I don't really have much experience playing nid (since I'm usually forced to jungle most games) and I'm still experimenting. After wriggles I pick up like either a bruta or sheen. Then phage. Usually, either I'll finish triforce if I'm really ahead or get my mog+chainvest+negatron. Final item build I suppose is like - boots, warmog, atma/FH, FoN/abyssal, triforce, BT. That said, please don't take follow anything I say too seriously and just follow the advice of our TL vets like smash, yango. They can offer you much more reliable opinions than some random scrub like me :> | ||

This is just a whole new level of unfair. Playing against ranged is already stressful as a melee, but she also has a heal and an AS steroid on the same button. And god forbid you step on a trap, there's a 20-40% armor shred on you right there. Once she gets to 6, there aren't very many champions that can even stay in lane against her anymore. 20 free armor/MR, absurd chasing/escape ability, an execute on a 5 second cooldown, and crazy high base damages. Her traps are basically free wards before your first back, so getting an early gank on her is nearly as hard as when she has her ridiculous escape after 6. After she has Wriggles, she doesn't even need to back. Ever. I usually start boots, trap stuff up, then b for a 4th pot. Stay in lane until wriggles unless jungler is babysitting, then Phage > Merc Treads. Go for a hexdrinker if against dumb AP champions like Kennen and Vlad, otherwise I rush triforce because AD carries have no clue what they're doing in solo queue and just end up going in like Xin Zhao bot. From there I either get atmas if I need MOAR DEEPS or a Warmogs if the enemy team is smart enough to focus me. I'll usually finish off with a Frozen Heart, but the games tend to be over before I can get there because top inhib is dead by 25 minutes huehuehuehue | ||

A good nid will win top convincingly even before level 6 so almost every time, when I go back to town for the first time, it will be around 1500 gold so get wriggles if you started armor or phage+ward if boots. I tend to just go ninja tabi if there are more AD carries but mres boots are nice too. FH, Atmog, boots, trin and FoN to close out the end game. Making wriggle really delays the timing of trin force so if i am ahead (most of the time), i just go straight for phage+frozen. I think of her as upgraded version of PotM (Mirana), and i think shes more fun to play. I personally think AP nid is pretty bad, because opponent must be really bad to get hit by the spears.. and cougar Q is just too awesome to ignore. I go Arpen red, armor yellow, lvl Mres blue, either arpen/move speed quint. Sometimes i go 21/9 or 9/21, but most of the time i like 21/9 as it synergizes most with my +25 arpen runes. trap first (or heal first to leash for your teammate at blue), Q, E, W, Q/E (E for staying in lane, Q for being aggressive and denying at lvl 6) then at level 6, insta kill but you should have a kill already before 6 vs typical top heroes... If I am facing a really tough top hero, i just bring exhaust/ignite lol to just try kill him first. flash is really really useful late game when I am on cd to jump over a ledge or fail to do so (stupid pathing sometimes), but i personally think getting big early is more important. Then you just pwn everyone.. | ||
