I love building Atmogs Nid due to her high mobility and use of triforce. One thing you got terribly wrong thought: Flash is still, and always will be the most broken skill in the game. She may have pounce, but many champions have a single gap closer. Flash offers an instant blink, for a second escape, more reliable wall jumps, skillshotting spears off at max range, and basically makes her virtually uncatchable. the range nerf is negligible compared to what it was before.

I don't agree with you dude, if you don't say Flasheven alternative spell, you are going to wrong way. Pounce can go through small walls, but with flash you can go through almost all of them. So, flash should be even alternative spell.

That was the case
me and alot of other people i know have died to flash more often that that it saved them since the patch
i mean its preferences anyway, if you think flash is necessary, god, then take it.

Alright I just tried this out and my final score was 18/3/16 and I had the 2nd highest creep score... EVERYONE underestimated my damage and focused my AP Carry and I just cleaned house. I HIGHLY recommend this build to any seasoned nidalee players.

Hey, you asked for a review so here it is :)

Since we're judging guides on a couple of different aspects, I'll divide my comment into some sections containing suggestions in terms of the content/viability, suggestions in terms of visual appearance, depth etc.


Viability/Content

  • Not leveling an ability on level 9 is bad :O lol, seriously though, slight mistake in your cheatsheet :P ;)
  • Ignite/ Exhaust. Very risky. It's not necessarily bad, but remember that this guide will also be read by players that are new to Nidalee. Very risky combo to start with if you're new to a champion.
  • Runes: You say your goal is to gain magic resistance, which is why you pick 9x Greater Glyph of Magic Resist. 9x Greater Glyph of Magic Resist is generally a choice based on getting more magic resistance in the early game, however, while 9x Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist will provide you with the most magic resistance later on. Consider using those.

Other than that it looks good, I've heard good things about Triforce + Atmogs Nidalee :D


Grammar

  • Very few mistakes. Some small typos:
    • attackspeed --> attack speed
    • usefull --> useful
    • buffduration --> buff duration
    • earlygame --> early game
    • jsut --> just
    • ppl --> people (I know that was deliberate :P)
    • manaregeneration --> mana regeneration
    • laing --> laning
    • movementspeed --> movement speed
  • Work on the punctuation. Again very tiny 'mistakes' (if you could even call them that). For example:
    • Also, the healing reduction is good against pretty much anything that heals itself, you normally deal enough damage anyway, but as you can't just nuke people away it's more convenient that way --> divide it into two sentences: '....itself. You normally....'
    • In all those cases it can happen that you get 3 stuns and damage from 5 champions, in which cases you often still get away, but the chance to do so increases with this Summoner Spell --> divide it into two sentences and add a comma and the verb receive: 'In all those cases, it can happen that you get 3 stuns and receive damage from 5 champions. You will often still get away, but the chance to do so increases with this Summoner Spell


Visual Appearance

The current guide looks ok, but I still think there's a lot to improve in terms of visual appearance. For all of the things that I'm about to mention, you should check jhoijhoi's guide to Making a Guide, as that has all the information about how to use columns, lists, icons etc.:
  • You use the normal sized icons in your guide, but never use bigger icons. Using those can look great in your 'Items' section, for instance:
    Code:
    [icon=Doran's Ring size=40][icon=Ninja Tabi size=40][icon=Warmog's Armor size=40][icon=Trinity Force size=40][icon=Atma's Impaler size=40]

    results in:



    Placing this at the top of your 'Items section' shows your final build

  • Pros/Cons: Try making only the + signs green instead of the entire text (same of course for the -). It also looks nice to work with columns in the Pros/Cons section. Check out this chapter to get a better idea of what I mean.

  • Speaking of columns, try using them more often in general as it adds some diversity in terms of the visual appearance of different sections.

  • Use the Mastery Planner for your 'Masteries' section.
    Code:
    [masteries=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=1-3-0-0-4-4-0-0-1-1-3-0-0-0-3-0-1&tree2=0-2-2-0-4-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree3=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0&v=2]
    will give you:
  • Use the Rune Planner for your 'Runes' section. The idea is the same as with the mastery planner.

  • In your Skill Sequence section: Instead of saying E, W, E, Q then R > E > Q > W, use this:
    Code:
    [abilities=eweqereqeqrqwqwrww champion=Nidalee]
    This will give you:
Ability Sequence
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  • In your 'Stuff you do' section (not a brilliant name to be honest), try using colour, bold text and italic text as well for some diversity.


Depth

This is the only aspect I really have problems with. I'm going to be completely honest and say that at this moment I cannot say the amount of depth of this guide is sufficient.

A basic Ability section (simply describing what Nidalee's passive, Q, W, E and R is and possibly also mentioning tips&tricks regarding the abilities) is missing and the chapters describing gameplay are almost non-existent.
Nidalee is extremely versatile because she can lane mid, bot and top. There should be sections on how to play her in all those lanes, with those sections again being divided in subsections about the early game and the mid/late game (during teamfights).

There is also a serious lack of alternative options in this guide. There are no alternative runes, no alternative masteries (is taking 21 points in Defense or Utility really completely non-viable?), neither Flash nor Ghost is mentioned as an alternative summoner spell (which really surprises me since I often see Nidalees using both) and an alternative item section is also missing.
If Nidalee has to play in the bottom lane, that means she'll probably be supporting a teammate, getting little to no farm in the process. There's no way she can build all the items you've listed when laning bot, so what should she buy instead?

Your explanation on why someone should play Nidalee as tanky dps instead of an AP champion is another thing that really deserves to be discussed more in-depth. It should have a separate chapter (right after the introduction) with a more in-depth comparison of the two styles. Which abilities synergize better with the AP style, which ones do you level and use more often when playing her as a tanky DPS? What cons that she has an AP champion are gone when you play her as a tanky dps champion?

You mention having played Nidalee with this build for a couple of days so far and right now that is showing. If you want to convince others of the viability of this build, there needs to be more background information about how to play her, why this build is so good, what to buy and what not to buy.



Hope this helps. I will check this guide for updates, but you can also choose to PM me once you've updated your guide based on my recommendations/criticism.

Right now, I feel like the serious lack of depth causes this guide to be nothing more than 'decent'.
However, I feel like this guide has potential, so don't let it go to waste ;)

Been testing out this build, don't miss Wriggle's at all. Rushing Sheen is the best way to go, she just ANNIHILATES the early game with it. I still feel demolition isn't needed, since once you get trinity force you can pretty much solo tank a turret, with enough damage from sheen procs to take it down easily.

Sartory (1) | November 18, 2011 2:04pm
Why Demolition over magic pen?

I like going down to Veteran's Scars on the Def, I think I'll start doing that myself as opposed to 3 in each armor and health regen.

Love playing tanky dps nidalee, I usually build her similarly, I grab an early Wriggle's lantern before Sheen though.
