i dont understand why nida is a top tier jungler right now. her spears are very small and slow, its pretty easy to dodge them (and if not, the tank usually doesnt care about them) the traps are a nice "ward" and the heal increases the adc attackspeed, but dosnt heal that much.

i know her cat form deals a lot of dmg but for that she has to jump in. and she isnt tanky at all. i just dont see the strength of nidalee right now, but she is a top jungler and looks like that wont change.

someone pls explain me why

When the enemie team has a good Nidalee, you don't have a jungler; She can safely invade your jungler 24/7 and bring her lanes ahead just because you have to help your jungler to survive Nidalee. She also clears the jungle EXTREMELY fast, so a good nidalee will outfarm and outgank the enemie jungler in most situations. And she just has a lot of tools, utility in her traps and heals, a LOT of damage and a good amount of mobility. She is snowball reliant tho summoner 31

Jungle clear speeds are second only to Shyvana. She has amazing poke, engage, and disengage and amazing sustain out of the jungle. She is extremely difficult to play at high levels..and her jungle clear efficiency takes LOADS of practice to perfect....but given the practice it takes, she is probably the best jungler in the game when played well.

...She is rarely played well.

clears fast and kills fast while being hard to catch.

Playing against a good one is a pain in the ass

because her clearspeed and map-mobillity is absurd if played correctly, allowing her to get an xp and gold lead early on that she can use to bully around the oppsing jungler, as landing one nearly is a save kill due to her stickiness and superior dueling, and she can escape rather easily even if the opposing team tries to collaps. Aditioanlly, she's good at just walking into a pushed lane and apllying preassure to the tower, which in the competetive scene with laneswaps actually is very valuable.

Nidalee simply put is a call-out for snowballing, she will farm hard till she's a level up on the opposing jungler and then be ultra agressive, constatnly invadeing. If she ever falls behind, her team most likely looses. as she offers nearly nothing outside of damage, which is hard to apply from behind as she needs to get melee for most of it while beeing really squishy.
