Acelink and Deshiba

I completely diagree with both of you, I have played Nid for a really long time and I have done AD, AP, Bruiser, Support and Glass Cannon and have had success doing all.

Nid is an incredibly high skillcap champion who takes creative thinking and high awareness in a fight to execute properly. She is a laner and splitpusher at heart and since she functions usually as a duelist in a combat scenario she will kill anyone who comes to stop her. In teamfights your job should be to use your trap on tanky champs or try to hit the backline with them so they lose literally ALL of their defenses, heal your carry to give them AS or to help them out, and try to poke people down before a fight starts using vision coverage and traps to find windows to poke. When the frontline is concerned with someone else you should immediately jump onto the soft targets and deal as much damage as possible. Try to save your Q for when theyre 25% since it will kill them instantly but if your building ad open with it and close with it since it deals at most 300% total damage.

Also she excells at protecting carrys due to her mobility and heal. She can execute high HP targets with her Q in cat form and easily escape if you build her properly. A good nid will never be around when the fight starts and never be around when it ends. She fights with her team similar to Shaco. She gets in, gets out.

Before you bnag on a champion please play them extensively and understand that not a single champion is viable 100% of the time. Support Nidalee is the defnition of situational, you can use her if you have a independent ADC such as Draven or Ezreal who doesnt really need as much babysiting but if your using Ashe, Vayne, or Kog Maw you are literally giving the enemy a free win.
