NIDALEE is a fully high breed champion, she can play as a long ranged mage, short ranged assassin, tanky up front fighter or anything in between. Knowing how to take advantage in human and cougar forms are vital for success.
Let's talk about Nidalee's abilities.
Nidalee's passive is PROWL & HUNT
PROWL: Moving through brush increases Nidalee's movement speed by 10% for 2 seconds, which increases to 30% if she is moving toward a visible enemy champion within 5500-range.
HUNT: Hitting enemy champions with Javelin Toss.png Javelin Toss or Bushwhack.png Bushwhack will mark them as Hunted for 4 seconds, revealing them. While moving toward Hunted, Nidalee gains Prowl's bonus movement speed and ignores unit collision. Additionally, Nidalee's first use of each of her Aspect of the Cougar.png Aspect of the Cougar abilities against Hunted will have an empowered effect.
Nidalee's first abilities are JAVELIN TOSS & TAKEDOWN
ACTIVE: Nidalee's next attack gains 75-range (200 total range) and is modified to deal magic damage.
Nidalee's second abilities are BUSHWHACK & POUNCE
ACTIVE: Nidalee lunges a fixed 375 units in the direction of the cursor, dealing magic damage to enemies within a 75-radius area around her landing point.
Nidalee's third abilities are PRIMAL SURGE & SWIPE
ACTIVE: Nidalee claws at enemies in a 180-degree cone in the direction of the cursor, dealing magic damage to all enemies hit.
Nidalee's Ultimate ability is ASPECT of the COUGAR
ACTIVE: Nidalee transforms back into her human form.
The Question is, how will you counter that multi role champion Nidalee? Seek some ASSASSIN champion or HIGH MOBILITY champions to dodge nidalee abilities especially the JAVELIN TOSS because it's too strong when it hits you.
Here are the champions I suggest to counter NIDALEE.
First is ANNIE "The Dark Child"
Second is LeBlanc "The Deceiver"
