Jungle nidalee tilts me. Hard.

I just don't see the appeal of jungle nidalee, you're putting her into a role where she has like no objective control, zero cc. almost no pressure

What's her purpose in the jungle, Counter jungle and vision? Last I checked rek'sai does that better.

I'd really appreciate the upsides to jungle nidalee, I just feel it's super lackluster compared to so many other picks.

Because you can chuck a spear from halfway across the map and chunk midlane for half their health as you make your way from Blue buff to group. :D

If you have a low damage but CC heavy champion in lane, IE Nautilus top, nidalee is a good pick because when you gank top she brings a lot of damage whereas Naut can do the locking down. Nidalee brings a lot of damage and mobility. She has objective control in that she can throw spears to try and poke teams out of their turret. If you played early game well and got fed via ganks or maybe a kill on the enemy jungler, you should have plenty of damage to poke people out of turrets and keep snowballing.

Last time I checked rek sai can't transform into an awesome jungle cat. For real though, the appeal for transforming toons is the fact that they ultimately have no cooldown when you run the full combo, and they have the ability to duel at a distance or up close. They have the most versatility of any kind of champ. That's why there's only a couple of toons who transform.

Fast jungle clear, ezpz ganks, AMAZING skirmishing power early and late, W-Traps and be placed all over to give partial vision and alerting when ganks are coming.

And it's fun :3

I'd like you to elaborate on that, I don't see how she has fast clears. From what I see they're super slow actually

she's super gank oriented sure, but her ganks just aren't that great without a literal team with a fair amount of cc somewhere. as a previous post mentioned nautilus etc. Skirmishing I can understand, and wont deny she's probably good at.

I just don't get it. aside from the fun part.

The first jungle run through is relatively slow (depending on your skill at kiting / mechanics and stuff) but after the first back then her jungle clear is faster with the CDR from blue and her already low CD's in both human and cougar form, and she just does a ton of damage.
