Does the lane (including jg) you play Nidalee impact how you build her (even if you build Full AP)?

I find that when I play Nidalee in the Top Lane, even if I still build her full AP, I instinctively build Lich Bane to emphasize her Assassin playstyle instead of getting items that emphasize her Poke playstyle because I know there's a decent chance that I won't be sitting in the Mid Lane during that Mid-Game siege until I'm really needed and therefore have to Teleport. I end up playing more of a splitpush role - pressuring enemies to walk to my lane through their jungle and killing them if I get the opportunity.

Does the lane you play Nidalee impact how you build her?

I would say no, however it does depend on who you're against, for instance playing against say yasuo you would definitely want a lich bane and a zhonyas, but against a xerath you would want more ap like a ludens echo, deathcap, abyssal scepter.

i feel nidalee top lane is kinda dick move when you have a AP mid laner, because your fucking team is out of a tank .-. and just gives the enemy team for of a reason to stack mr

There is certainly more incentive to build frozen fist against an AD laner than an AP laner.

There's no incentive to build IBG on her under any circumstances if you're going full AP. If you need Armor get Zhonya's and possibly GA. If you want a Spellblade item, get Lich Bane.
