Any tips for playing Nidalee? The internet makes it sound as if it's press Q to win with her but I'm not doing much
I understand I have to play passive until 6 which I do but aside some roaming I don't see myself contributing much aside from landing some spears in midgame teamfights. I've felt invisible on the games I've played her.
Still feels fun to use will definitely practice with her.
she's weird cos she needs levels and items to ramp up and her laning is pretty awful in mid. she's got all the tools to survive laning phase, it's just that her version of winning lane is actually going even.
i usually build athene's rather than tear on her cos it makes her relevant earlier on (plus generally more useful stats) but i tend to like rush deathcap+void staff and depend on blue buff a lot too.
but tbh that's kind of what nidalee is, a spear bot, your burst in cat form is deceptively strong, so i like to go to lanes that are pushed to turret and dive with her since people cowering under turret are easy javelin targets. like with any mid, bot is specially good to roam to cos they're pretty squishy down there so you can like land a spear, and follow up support cc with your cat form execute burst
also a really good and very easy combo is to flash, throw a spear, go cat form and then mash all your keys. you can do the spear first if you know it's gonna land but if you point blank it you can't miss it. it's a lot of burst and you shouldn't be afraid to get kills like that. she gets like a million jumps with her pounce and is superspeed on brushes, so it's not like not having flash is as punishing as if you were playing like orianna or something
