Rengar has unlimited chase potential in brushes and in the jungle, thereby he has anti burst healing and strong output early and later in the game. Nidalee has to try to use walls at her advantage to remain new cooldowns while rengar W cooldown longer than her 2de rotation in order to win. --> Later in the game when ahead, Nidalee can use one rotation to win. When even or behind, Zhonya's Hourglass becomes a strong counter option.
Master Yi
Master Yi meditation is a strong defense ability to get rid of Nidalee her Cougar burst spells, thereby Master Yi has a decent early strength and a really good strength later in the game. Master Yi Q also allows him to gain enough gap closer into Nidalee, due to positioning himself into Nidalee her flee/kite position. Do not let Master Yi get ahead in this matchup.
Elise
Elise is known to be strong early/mid game. Nidalee can keep up with early game jungler, but however... Elise cocoon burst window combined with her human + spider combo is the perfect trade pattern into Nidalee engage combo. Nidalee has to be aware of Elise cocoon at all times and thereby dodge this or ranged poke a lot in order to win. Do not let Elise get ahead in this matchup.
Kha'Zix
Kha'Zix early game is weaker than Nidalee, but Kha'zix can be a huge threat due to his isolation combined with stealth gap closers. Nidalee has to make sure to reveal Kha'Zix in order to win after level 6.
Do not let Kha'Zix get ahead in this matchup.
Poppy
Poppy W disengage is an easy safe ability to deny Nidalee her engage. Thereby Poppy early game can be annoying to deal with already. Nidalee has to try to play in a more pokeway style unless ur team allows you to excells through this front line.
Nocturne
Nidalee has a way stronger early game than Nocturne, however Nocturne Spellshield combined with level 6 can be hard to deal with for Nidalee. Thereby Nocturne Fear can still be in range due to the extension of it. Nidalee has a safe time playing around hoping walls or prepoking Nocturne. Nidalees goal is to dominate Nocturne early on, combined with shadowing Nocturne Ults.
Bel'Veth
Bel'Veth has a decent early game combined with a strong late game. Nidalee can lose her kite early on due to Belveth Q charges that allow her fast gap closer, thereby it is mandatory for Nidalee to dodge Belveth W. Bel'veth also has an anti burst cooldown that does increased damage and healing into lower health enemies. Nidalee has to make sure to be way healthier due to ranged poke in order to engage freely.
Gragas
Gragas has decent early- and insane mid/late game. Thereby Gragas has instant disengage into Nidalee melee jump. This allows him to take fights on command and can become an issue, due to him being very useful in fights. Nidalee should try to make early leads and steal camps whenever possible to get ahead.
Zed
Nidalee has a way stronger early untill level 6 into Zed. Thereby Zed has an insane jungle clear speed as well. Nidalee is allowed to invade and take early skirmishes easily into Zed and should do so ''. Whenever Zed might be even or ahead, Zhonya's Hourglass becomes a good option to mitigate and stall damage/time.
Kindred
Kindred has a solid early and a strong mid/late game. Thereby Kindred can deal well with dodging nidalee spear due to her Q's. Nidalee has a general matchup into kindred which excells into Kindred favor over time.
Fiddlesticks
Fiddlesticks has a weak early game that becomes stronger, especially when obtaining his R ---> at this point it will be important to track him down to prevent massacre from happening on ur team. Nidalee should take advantage of the early game in this matchup.
Diana
Diana has a solid early game and a stronger mid/late game. Nidalee can perform really well into Diana, and thereby dodge Diana Q's with Nidalee Cougar W jump. Nidalee has an easyier early game, but if not succeeded Diana can become a stronger teamfight point and issue.
Udyr
Nidalee has to make use of ranged poke kite style to come ahead of Udyr his stat check, however Udyr his movement speed makes this harder to do so(running celerity is recommended). Nidalee should keep track of what Passive effect Udyr will use and if its used or not before she can engage into a victory. Do not fall behind into this matchup as Nidalee!!!
Lillia
Nidalee has a stronger pre 6 than Lillia. Which makes it easy for Nidalee to get an early lead, however... when Nidalee is even/behind Lillia she will struggle to compete with Lillia her teamfighting with R and rundown from Q movement speed stacks.
Maokai
Maokai has decent early- and insane mid/late game. Maokai will become an issue, due to him being very useful in fights. Therefore Nidalee should take advantage into Maokai his early game to get a lead. Maokai can be hard to approach due to Sapling information, and should be taken in consideration when invading certain points.
Vi
Nidalee has a way stronger early pre 6 than Vi, thereby Nidalee her mobility makes it easy to dodge Vi Q's that will lead Nidalee into an easy win. Dealing with Vi R in 1v1 and teamfights will be hard, Thereby rushing boots and/or gaining Zhonya's Hourglass is recommended whenever pressure will be applied on Vi R. Gap closer from Vi can be annoying to deal with once she reaches 6 with low Q cooldown.
Skarner
Nidalee has a way stronger pre 6 situation into Skarner, due to her strength and ranged poke kite. Nidalee should try to harvest the most out of this situation, however. Due to Nidalee her engage style from cougar form, she can get into trouble fighting against Skarner and his teammates ---> Skarner R supression will obliterate Nidalee. (Quicksilver Sash can be used whenever engage gameplay is wanted) or a ranged version of Nidalee becomes more wanted.
Pantheon
Nidalee is good at matching Pantheon his early gank pattern and should do so, thereby Pantheon has a mitigation tool against Nidalee her burst window, which should take account for by Nidalee.
Lee Sin
Nidalee and Lee Sin have the same early/mid game strength, thereby its generally an even matchup whoever hits their Q's early on. Be aware of Lee Sin his mobility gap closers, which makes it hard to deal with him when Nidalee falls behind. Thereby Nidalee Cougar jump in combo with Q gains priority over Lee Sin knockback on R.
Nunu & Willump
Nunu is a proactive jungler that can harass lanes with snowball pressure often. Nidalee has a way stronger early game than Nunu and should therefore take fights and duels often to create an easy lead.
Hecarim
Nidalee has a favorited early game into Hecarim. Nidalee her goal is to take advantage of the early game. Nidalee is forced to play ranged attacks into the low mobility jungler Hecarim to win fights clean and very easy.
Evelynn
Evelynn is a weak early game jungler that wants to farm her lvl 6 + as soon as possible. Nidalee can take advantage of this fairly easy with early invades and fights happening. Thereby Evelynn can become a heavy threat whenever she has the resources to excell.
Ivern
Ivern is one of the support junglers that will aid teammates with shields and powerful buffs. His early game is not strong at all, and his brushes gain Nidalee movement speed. Nidalee her goal is to take over early game skirmishes, and she is free to walk whenever she pleases into Ivern matchup, due to winning them.
Jarvan IV

Karthus
Karthus is strong at any moment in the game, which comes in check with a hard to hit spamming skillshot. Thereby he wants to farm jungle a lot and scale up as soon as possible. Nidalee is good at taking advantage of Karthus early on, and she has the movement speed to dodge Karthus Q's easily with a good trade pattern.
Kayn
Nidalee has a way stronger early game than kayn, but Kayn has good scaling and jungle clear speed. Thereby its recommended for Nidalee to take advantage of the early game, which is fairly easy to do into Kayn.
Olaf
Olaf is one of the strongest stat check games early/mid game. And therefore he relies on hitting Q's that slow his enemies. Nidalee has a favorited matchup into Olaf, especially whenever small walls are at her disposal. The main priority for Nidalee is to dodge Olaf Q's while maintaining ranged spears and autohits early on. Thereby she will excell stronger into the game than Olaf. Always be aware of the stat check of olaf in melee range.
Sejuani
Nidalee has a stronger early game than Sejuani, thereby she also has the mobility to dodge sejuani W 2de hit and her Q dash. Nidalee her goal is to benefit from the early game as much as possible, to reduce sejuani her teamfighting power.
Rammus
Rammus the armor Tank, Rammus scales well due to armor synergy with his abilities. Thereby he has a weaker early game than Nidalee(which deals well with armor). Nidalee should be careful of grouped setup engages from Rammus combined with his R, which is the only threat Rammus brings.
Shen
Shen is a strong lvl 1-5 champion, but he has low mobility and he needs empowered Q's through his enemy with his sword to gain its output. Nidalee her early goal is to punish Shen from taking her solo target camps and thereby dodging his E with her mobility. Once done properly --> Nidalee is capable to dodge sword through attacks into ranged free damage.
Warwick
Warwick has one of the strongest stat checks during the early/mid game. Nidalee is strong into Warwick whenever she can abuse ranged attacked style on warwick. Nidalee should always respect Warwick his true stat check whenever he comes lower HP. Nidalee should only engage when certain to win/burst Warwick.
Viego
Viego is strong at all moments of the game, thereby he can challenge Nidalee. Nidalee her goal is to dodge Viego W, which should be easy to do so with Nidalee mobility. Thereby Viego gains access to more mobility once reachinb lvl 6+.
Zac
Zac has a pretty bad early game, which Nidalee should take advantage over. Thereby Zac can become a teamfight problem whenever he went even or ahead into Nidalee. Nidalee has good mobility to dodge Zac his key abilities to combo his enemies.
Xin Zhao
Xin Zhao is known for his strong early dueling, thereby Nidalee can match this easily due to her early strength and kite. Nidalee Cougar W is an instant disengage for Xin Zhao his E. Nidalee has to be careful to facecheck Xin Zhao in melee range, due to this being the only reason for Nidalee to lose her gap closer and kite.
Volibear
Nidalee has great time into Volibear his low mobility and decent early strength. Be careful of Volibear his increase of strength and mobility on his R.
Graves
Graves is strong early/mid/late game, thereby he stacks Armor and has stronger auto hits due to how close his enemies are. Nidalee performs well into armor enemies, and she has a strong early/mid game. Thereby she can maintain range and solid damage from a distance before she gives her lethal blow.
Ekko
Ekko is one of the weaker early game junglers. Nidalee should take advantage of the early game into Ekko, invade and fore fights a lot, due to the easy statcheck. Thereby Nidalee becomes a strong assassin that can deal well with Ekko R. Be aware and pay respect of Ekko R and W placed in melee range.
Shyvana
Shyvana has a weaker early game combined with wanting to farm early on. Nidalee should excell early on into Shyvana and deny her drakes for scaling.
Shaco
Nidalee has the mobility to escape Shaco and kite him afterwards, thereby Nidalee can see through stealth and chase Shaco down + spot the real clone. Nidalee has an easy time pressuring Shaco early game, thereby invading and destroying early boxes is recommended.
Trundle
Nidalee has permakite over Trundle at all times, due to Nidalee Cougar W over Trundle Pillar. Thereby Nidalee has full freedom for ranged poking Trundle combined with chase. Always respect Trundle statcheck as Nidalee. Nidalee has an easy time to dominate early game and should do so.

Hello Everyone,
I'm Zero Macro aka Blonde Ponytail.
I peaked Challenger soloq in EUW server and I play LoL since the end of Season 3.
I have been the Best Nidalee Euw Several times around season 8 to season 11
Fact 1:
Whenever Nidalee is paired with crowd control teammates; she should always (pre aim sometimes) aim her Javelin Tosstowards the crowd controlled spot to hit her full combo. This will gain the most impact from all her ganks.
Fact 2:
This fact should be known by a Nidalee player;
Whenever you upgrade your Aspect Of The Cougar all Cougar abilities will gain extra bonus base damage. Being in front of your next ultimate upgrade will make you feel like a weak Cougar ''
Fact 3: Nidalee Passive Prowl will gain Nidalee movement speed combined with True Sight of her enemies.
Fact 4: Nidalee her Pounce whenever used on a *Hunted* Target or whenever Nidalee gains a unit kill, will grant her reduced cooldown set to a minimum value. This is an important fact that can bring you faster escape or chase.
