Is Nid jungle still viable?

Hi I was thinking about maining nidalee jungle this season coming up. Just want to know everyones thoughts about her right now and the future of her in season 6. I enjoy playing her a lot. She seems strong to me if you dont die your first couple clears. And those spears half healthing their adc with one hit feels so amazing to do.

Nid is one of those very hard to master and use kind of junglers. You really need to know your stuff when playing jungle nid. She isn't a champ like WW who can just sustain for days in the jungle without ever backing. It can be done but generally Nid jungle is to mechanically intensive for the average league player to handle. Probably half the reason nid has a garbage win rate in plat and below and a half way decent win rate diamond and higher.

Nid jungle was extremely popular at the beginning of season 5. But as of now, I have never seen a nid jungle in my last 6 months of league. Jungling is difficult due to the sheer amount of damage the monsters put out. I think Nidalee can be able to farm the monsters without dying at early game, but I wouldn't recommend it. It all depends on how well Nidalee can perform ganking.

Statistically speaking.. shes not doing so great. However, i think shes still really strong. Idk what your elo is but the higher ranked players are even banning her given how strong she is. I think if ur going to try to climb with Nidalee, you better be damn good with her, other wise ur probably going to fail miserably. Aside what others may think, she actually needs a decent amount of practice with her mechanics to be good. Game sense doesnt hurt either. Id practice her tripple auto attack reset, her Q animation cancel, and become proficient at clearing w.o a leash before jumping into ranked play.

TLDR; Practice her a lot and she will be rewarding, +/- play her every so often, and you will not climb with her.

It is tough because you have to hit your Q for a good gank.
