So what does everybody else think about Jungle Nidalee......?
IMO it's the change she's been waiting for, clear speeds seem similar to Master Yi (really fast if fed, average if not fed). Any criticism or judgments from anyone else?

its extremely fun and its nice to play a jungler that isnt lee/vi/jarvan/kha for once. i think its a sign that maybe jungle diversity is starting to pick up a little bit.
No matter where Nidalee goes, it's the same story. If the player hits his javelins he'll do great. If he doesn't it might as well be 4v5.
It's fun. I move around the map super fast and my ganks are great.
I still haven't figured out how to make the first clear safe. Seems very vulnerable to invades.
I don't really know what to do in the teamfight phase. I feel broke and oom even if the laning phase went well.
If you don't get up early...you're screwed. You simply don't have the gold in the jungle to get the items that you need to be effective later in the game.
I think it's fun as hell. If you are a great player you can do amazing things on Nidalee due to her mobility and versatility.
If you are an average player you are going to miss lots of spears and be ineffectual in late game team fights.
She will get nerfed down to the ground next patch. You'll see
I think that jungle Nidalee is cool because of how it fits thematically. However, spears are going to be an issue, as they always have. They should either gut the AP scaling or make the AP scaling not increase with distance, only the base.
I think Nidalee's jungle is turning out to be fast and oppressive like Reksai's. She dies pretty easy in a straight up fight in the jungle but ability to clear so fast and keep moving makes it very hard to stay on top of camps and objectives. Much like Reksai's constant counter jungling splitting teams and adding a large amount of pressure to the map.
I haven't seen Nidalee being to aggressive while ganking but considering her spear can guarantee the amount of damage a jungle is responsible for during a gank (40-50%) before she even engages I'm sure problems will arise.
Nid should just be deleted from the game, not matter what lane she goes.
The problem is that she has the clear speeds of Yi while also practically one-shotting you when she lands a spear in a gank.
