Hi Nid players. Nid used to be one of my favourite champions to QQ about, now I love her. I don't play her myself, but whenever she's on the opposing team I take note. I've seen a lot of Nid's fail and I've seen Nids, bruiser and AP, carry their teams. What I like most about her though isn't that I never know what to expect when she's picked in champ select (huge spear nukes or a tanky bruiser come assassin), it's that League almost feels like a different game when she's in a match. She can chase you infinitely with pounce - the only comparable champion is Quinn with her ult - as an AP mid she's almost a one skill champion, but she still demands respect because of how hard she nukes, and it just looks so fun as hell to play her as an AD bruiser come assassin and win.

I know a lot of people QQ about Nid's kit, she has very pronounced strengths, but she also isn't like your modern assassins with their 17 gap closers, huge damage and infinite resources, she has limits, pitfalls and weaknesses (mostly dictated by which build she pursues). Still, I don't think there's another champion quite like Nidalee, her playstyle varies so much depending on how you build her, she's diverse, iconic and fun, and I hope you have fun playing her, and Riot does right by her in the future if they ever decide to rebalance her (nerf or buff).
