I actually just added a section on the Tri-Force vs Iceborn gantlets at the end of the item section due to a question from a friend like this. While Tri-force will give you more damage (with the sheen procs+30 more AD) you loose out on the armor and the CC from the Iceborn Gauntlets. Personally I like it more with the Iceborn because it gives you the extra CDR+survivability with armor+kiting with the slows, however if you do get really far ahead or dont need to get as tanky, tri-force is very viable as well.

Actually, you're in Bronze because you suck.

Here we have a member of the season 2 world championships playing "Tank" Nidalee "Top".

Morons like u r the reason why I am in bronze, NIDALEE IS NOT A TANK OR A TOP CHAMPIONS STOP PLEASE

Good start to a guide, has a lot of room to grow :)

Definitely better than what my first guide looked like when it first came out.

Have you thought about adding tri-force to the build? I really really really like building tri-force nidalee because it can annoy the hell of the other laner

Thanks for the comments so far, my first guide and just made it yesterday between studying for finals, so still plan to work on it more and touch it up with more pictures (places to ward/trap, ect) as well as lane matchups as I go

Your guide is not bad, I liked it :D. Its a different way of playing Nidalee and Nidalee can be played in a lot of different ways. But I think that there is a little too big amount of words combined with somewhat mediocre amount of pictures. But its ok :D.

Well...on bruiser nida you did max E first because now she is not really the best choice. But 9 points...

When I get bored I too play Nidalee to put 9 points in Primal Surge and pretend I'm Soraka.
