i get your point i haved alot of jungle nidalee and at first thoug you are like o w/e its a vi jungle i cannnot duel i can stil get a quadrilion kils at the squeeshy adc and mid laner
now think about this we have vi/sejuani/gragas jungle you need to avoid them at al kost cause they wil melt you your not gonne hit 20 spears before you get to finaly dive them theyl have u before that
so if he comes to plunder your jungle you can do nothing
sure you could go mid and get a gank but mid has le blanc wich isnt going to get hit by a spear and even if she does you can not jump in
than there is ezreal/kalista and blitzcrank bot you can go there but landing spears might be a bitch and blitz can really mess you up to
put a fiora/irelia
annything semi tanky top and nid is kind of useless
like the extra tank in the jungle and a good pick mid/botem means your nid wont do shit
ofcourse most of the time now you stil see a squeeshy jungler and a ziggs mid a squeeshy suport like soraka and you go bot lane make that duble kil kil mid lane take tower and dragon than go show udyr with 0 kils and 20 farm that hes really not that much of a tank :p
