building AD first on nidalee is pretty cheesy, but it works to some extent...takedown takes a lot of people by surprise if you've built pure AD and hit 6. In bot lane both targets are probably squishy and probably overconfident from being better laners pre-6 and you can probably snowball from there (lots of probably's become pretty iffy when stacked like tha though). If you get ahead enough and they don't have a decent assassin (even more iffy), things will probably work out for you...but it's so chessy, cuz if they know what you're doing they can easily avoid your cougar combo (even if all those other things work out) and then you're useless, and even if they don't know, THEY might snowball from your horrendous pre-6 duo laning (depends on your support rly), and then you're still done. This is why AD cheese nidalee usually goes top lane and then immediately builds into tanky bruiser nid after 1 or at most 2 dedicated ad items.
