Personally I don't think she falls off that hard as AD Bruiser o=

She has good mobility to get to the AD in the back, and she draws focus kinda :T. Her damage ofc is also pretty good.

Also as support I prefer to play her more as a kill lane lol. Rather than maxing heal first, although this sounds stupid, I really prefer to max spear as support nida. Cus then u can change the flow of the lane with 1 hit, or u can secure kills after a gank or something. Basically you get fed with 0 minions lolz :\. She actually does a lot of damage in cougar form so if you all in, it usually goes well depending on who you're up against and who your partner is.

As for mid, its really not that hard to do well with her lolz. You just have to get a few good "through the minion" shots. For example, last hit minion -> spear. Also when you know someone can't burst you down instantly you can do a lot of damage to them by pouncing on them and using ur combo o_o. You don't farm with the cougar and take free damage. You harass them or go all in with it. It's also good follow up damage for ganks.

And back to the AD Bruiser top - you can pretty much win all lanes as ad nidalee top. Against people like riven you just kite them all day and harass them with spears while last hitting. Eventually theyll get to a point where u can 1 hit combo them. Against longer range people you abuse the brush and your passive - I'm sure you've seen them say this in guides - by running in and out and auto attacking every time. It works surpisingly well. Otherwise you can just out sustain people with your heal. Because as bruiser nida u should be maxing heal first.

Just a random note: Bruiser Nidalee is 10x easier to carry with than AP. If it goes into late ish game with AP nidalee, it really doesn't matter how fed you are, you can't carry. The most you can do is poke and hope your team doesnt make a bad engagement. The moment you jump in, you're dead. Bruiser you actually have a large teamfight presence, and can shut down their AD carry, or soak up damage so your team can win the fight.

-I couldn't forgive this contributor for saying nidalee isnt viable so i wrote this giant wall of text hue. >_>
