User blog comment:Contractas1/Nidalee - Mistake or Miracle?/@comment-9463023-20131103172340

So, Nidalee is a hyper strong poker, she is almost impossible to gank succesfully after level 6, she is impossible to catch (with a bit of luck by a Fizz or Kassadin maybe), the heal is quite strong when she has items, her traps reveal for like 12 seconds which is insane. The only problem with her is that she has a high skillcap, other than that, she is a low risk, high reward champion and though I presonally dislike her, I can't deny she's insanely strong in good hands.

Also, just reading the last paragraph - so Nidalee has a kit that alone is almost as good as four other champions, she doesn't fit any role. Seriously?

Her role is exactly the one she's played by - either a safe splitpusher top or a safe ap mid that not only fits but is the base of a poke comp. No scoop there.
