Nidalee Spears
My thoughts
Hi guys, its nidal33 here and nidalee is my main champion on league of legends, I recommend nidalee to anyone that likes the insane damage of a tricky (for some or until used to it) skillshot and the mobility that is the damage in cat form and the survivalness.
There are few dwellers, let alone champions, residing in the blasted and dangerous lands that lie south of the Great Barrier. Much of that world still bears the scars of past Runes Wars, especially the mysterious ***ungu Jungle. There are long-forgotten treasures in these strange places which many risk life and limb to acquire. The champion known as Nidalee was only a young girl travelling with her treasure-seeking parents when they lost their way in the dense, rainy jungles. The jungle was unforgiving, and she watched her parents suffer agonizing final days as they fell victim to a mysterious and vicious disease.
As improbable as it was for a child to survive in the inhospitable jungle by herself, she did just that. Her youthful innocence and a fortunate naivete caused her to appeal to the beasts of that place and she was taken in by a family of cougars and raised as one of their own. She grew and somehow absorbed the raw magic of the dense wilds, evolving beyond both her human physiology and her feline affectation. On one pivotal day in her life, standing over the torn remnants of a Noxian squad of woodcutters, Nidalee chose to rejoin the so-called civilized world, to fight in the League of Legends so as to protect the vast woods from both Demacia and Noxus.
Nidalee was taught to fight by her feline family, battling viciously with tooth and nail. Something in her feline ways may draw you to her, but remember that she is no pussycat.

Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.
In team fights start by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down anyone who flees.
Dont waste your mana, only use your Q or E effectively and dont waste early game.
Heal when need to, use your R Effectively by switching after using a Q to jump to an enemy.
