This guide makes sense if you play her mid, but if you leave all the farm and kills to your carry (as a support should do), where the hell does the money for your deathcap come?
That's what I don't understand. Assists will never earn you that much gold and you don't have a single GP10 item in your build. Am I missing something else?

Note please, I'm not saying that Nidalee is always bad at bottom lane. There are cases in which she's godly good.
Not all supports are supposed to be played as 0 cs ones. Best example would be Karma.
But that requires certain level of trade-off.
Because most of the times carries need ALL the farm from the lane, picking Nid is comlicating situation beyond reasonable. Why not take someone like Taric or Sona instead? Their heals are fine too and they can harass quite well. But they don't need to take the gold from their carries.

Nida's role in this meta to harass and dont let the enemies farm so she go down to help ad carry they can kill easily with q she harass and the nemy ad carry will have 0 last hit and 0 zero last zero item only potions so pls dont say dont fit anywhere


No. Nidalee is an extremely situational support and generally does very poor as a bottom laner.

1)

Any other support can do what you called harass. It's not about the damage, it's about putting pressure on the opponent. If I was looking for maximum damage botlane, I'd pick someone like LeBlanc or Annie as a support.
Support's job isn't to harass and kill. Any support that takes kills is a bad one, in fact.

2)

Nidalee requires farm to be effective. She can't be played as a 0 cs support without falling back too much.

3)

Your explanation for lane harassment sounds nice, but you forget the cooldown of her q and the mana cost.
As Graves, I'll dodge the spear and then will go right into that bush where you are sitting and will rape your face with point blank Buckshot. You will run OOM too fast if you just try to spear them every time.

4)

Nidalee has no crowd control, which makes for a completely impotent (gank-wise) lane (much like Soraka lanes). And bot lane that's hard to gank isn't really an advantageous decision.

And finally.


No one is dumb enough to get hit by your spears over and over again. Her spear is best in post-laning phase, when people don't expect it coming.
In laning phase it's literally worthless. I don't know a single skillshot (well, maybe Wild Cards are worse :D) that is easier to dodge then Nidalee's spear if you see it coming OR know what direction it will come from.
No one who is competent enough at playing League will let you take your time and hit spears.
They will just walk behind the minions and your little spear party will be over.

Also, if lane is pushed (and that what it probably will be, granted that you don't let their AD carry touch the creeps), your spear isn't going to help ****. When all those minions are shoving each other near the enemy tower, landing a spear is virtually impossible.


And remember, without farm, your spears won't do any damage after early game. So what will you have left? The traps? :D That's surely op.

Because tanky AD Nida does better at solotop, is a better pusher, lasts longer in teamfights and deals a lot of damage in hand-to-hand close proximity combat. Yes, she has less poke then AP Nid and her heals are not even close to those of AP Nid, but it's an absolutely different playstyle that revolves more around pushing and being a strong melee duelist rather then a ranged harasser.

Also, AP Nida doesn't really fit any lane in current metagame to be efficient. Previously (in AP top lane), Nidalee was one of the strongest champions, now not so much, since many bruisers can out-harass her while taking just a little bit of damage on their own.

There's an explanation for playing atmogs Nidalee.

Ok, so , I wont vote. There are some reasons why I wont do that. Guide is far from being complete, some fails on Itens (My opinion) you should do LichBane earlier, you show knowledge missing about Nidalee, by the way AD Nidalee can be good due to her high atkspeed and Q (on cougar) stacking with AD. Hope it helped.

You are talking about one skill and as? thats nothing but 3 spamable spell plus heal and trap is awasome
