I don't have Nidalee on my main account(the one I play ranked games), but I can certainly see her strengths playing on Twisted Treeline.

In my opinion she suffers from the same syndrome Yasuo is being accused of. Overloaded kit. The only thing she lacks is CC and only CC.

Rito wanted to lessen spear spam, but the price of a small damage nerf (still hits like a truck with AP) was too high. Level 1 Cougar form, resets, all day long speed buff, indiscriminate level 2 kill potential AD or AP alike, stupid empower system(1. Hit a spear or a trap, 2. Smash your face into a keyboard, 3. ???, 4. Profit!), doing 1k magical crits with just Trinity Force and Takedown.

As far as my games went it's safer to go Trinity Force/Iceborn Gauntlet then itemize full defenses. You'll be dealing stupidly high amount of damage(I did mentioned Takedown crits, didn't I?) while being nearly unkillable.

@ Emptylord: Takedown deals entirely magic damage and as such can't be blocked. Inb4 Mordekaiser. And it's stupid.
