to starsaviour.

nidalee as support is working well for a kill-lane if you run wit haan ADC that can CC or finish off from afar (jinx comes to mind => jinx Q, nida Q, rocketlauncher and ult). other than that, she works well to make your ADC farm up.

especially against grabbers (say blitz and thresh). whenever they use their grab ability, you can throw a maxrange spear at them, as they are rooted during the grab. repeating this a few times will make them consider grabbing again ,especially as they will know they will be hit, AND they will be low HP and will grab a full hp adc in (due to your heals).

i would say that support-nidalees strongest point is in the midgame pre-TF phase.

your ult is always ready, you will have collected enough gold from your support items to deal nice damage and heal a considerable amount, and your Q will have a nice rank to deal damage.

i wouldnt necessarily agree on her being bad in lategame.

sure, she isnt a leona in terms of teamfights, but a high heal on somebody like shyvana or olaf or jarvan/VI (or somebody similarly tanky) can turn a fight. staying not with your team, but in a 90° angle to your team will make your spears hit easily.

the enemy team has to look out for your spears as well as harrass or a possible engage from your team, and that does simply not fit on a screen.

should the enemies try to catch you, use your mobility to jump over walls and make them split up so your team can fight them 2 or 3 at a time. so its either "eat spears" or "hardengage" or "get displaced and lose due to no proper positioning".

this is especially true when sieging. however, dont do stuff like that when the enemy has great chasing or long, easy to hit stuns. (think WW, malzahar, VI, but with picks like these, nidalee is a bad pick anyway (same as rengar)).

she isnt a gamechanger, escept being chased, but she sure isnt bad at teamfighting if done proper.

i hope i answered your questions :D
