User blog comment:Contractas1/Nidalee - Mistake or Miracle?/@comment-8050014-20131105121731

Well, I play Nidalee as a magic damage assassin, due to her passive and the good combo while in cougar form. I guess the only thing really hard about Nidalee is knowing when to use her R based on the situation.

Support, ADC, Assassin, Mage, Fighter... Nidalee can do all of these decently. I guess Nidalee is just a champion with someone for everyone (so is Lee Sin). I was reccomended to play her as a beginner, and I did okay. So take your favorite role (or whatever champ pick leaves you with) and have a blast.
