Midalee, the Bestial Huntress

[I EAT COCK]

Introduction
Hello and welcome to my first League of Legends champion guide.
I will show you my own build for Nidalee. It's my main mid champion, and it can be yours.
This is my guide to Nidalee, I play her AP mid/suport.
She can deal tons of damage mid/late game, don't expect that damage in early.
I hope that I can give a good example for other Nidalees players.
Every game is different, so buy and play appropriately!

Pros / Cons

Pros:
- Impossible to chase in brush.
- Very powerful heals + attack speed.
- Best mobility ingame.
- Brust damage after level 6 (Cougar.)
- The spears. (:D)
- Free wards, traps.
Cons:
- Before level 6, hard to hold.
- No CC.
- If stuned, shes dead.
- Consumes alot of mana.
- Needs practice to use spears properly.


Masteries

I use 20/10/0 Masteries.

Runes
Simply AP runes. Nothing fancy.
AP
AP PEN
HP

Summoner Spells
The combination of summoner spells depends on your playstyle for the match, so plan accordingly!

I take Flash/Ignite for mid, or Flash/Exhaust suporting.


Skill Set
Passive:
Prowl 15% increased movement speed for 2 seconds in brush.
This passive is what makes Nidalee such a great harasser. Poke, run through brush, escape.

Human Skills:
Javelin Toss Throws a spear. At max range, it deals 250% damage.
Become a pro with this! It has a ridiculous range, so use it to your advantage!
Tip: If you run away from your enemy after throwing a spear, you will actually deal more damage. The distance measured is taken when the spear hits.
Tip: Try to aim a little ahead of a fleeing champion so that they run into your spear.

Bushwhack It's a trap!
Once an enemy walks over it, his armor and magic resistance is reduced by 20% for 12 seconds. He is also visible on the minimap to all friendly champions for 10 seconds.
Tip: When you drop a trap in brush, the entire brush is lit up for a split second, letting you see any players hiding in there.

Primal Surge Heal yourself or an ally, granting a 60% attack speed boost for 7 seconds (Rank 5).
If you think you won't need the heal for a few seconds, throw it on your AD carry when taking down important targets like dragon or a turret. The attack speed boost is perfect for it! When attacking minion waves, cast it on yourself before you switch to cougar.
Tip: Alt+E will automatically heal yourself.

Aspect of the Cougar Switch between cougar and human form.
There is a small cooldown, so make sure you're in the right form for teamfights - before the fight!
Tip: Try to stay in cougar form while traveling; you have 20 additional run speed in this form, and the pounce lets you travel a little faster, as well as hopping over walls. See Wall Pouncing.

Cougar Skills:
Takedown The less health your target has, the more damage Takedown will do.
Try to use this last in your combos. This can give you the kill and save yourself when both you and your enemy are extremely low!

Pounce Pounce forward. You do a small amount of damage upon landing.
You can dodge skill shots with this if timed correctly. There are also several walls that Nidalee can pounce over. See Wall Pouncing for examples.
Tip: Spam pounce when running to increase your speed a tiny bit. Do not pounce out of brush when trying to run away - this takes away from your 2 seconds of increased speed!

Swipe A small aoe in front of you.
This can easily take down entire minion waves. It covers everything in front of you in a small radius.

I pretty much 80% of the games start with boots, cause nidalee before level 6 is a half-champion, so I need mobility to farm and not waste mana.
I'm an average player, +1200normal wins, silver, close to gold, nothing more, but thanks for the coment.

It seems to be a nice tutorial.

But for some reason I didn't really know where to start.
>Maybe you could structure it a little better?


Glad to see you contributing and all, but I didn't really know where to start reading.
(A picture of the champ would also be nice, since I don't remember names that well )

1/2 Faerie charms are much better starting items, ap nidalee doesn't really need mobility until after 6, which doesn't really matter because by then you should have boots. Boots are underrated now, 3 ms quints make up for it and save you some gold for early game.
