Nid/jayce duo bot advice?

now that we're seeing the tank meta kind of die down, and more focus on self reliant adcs.. I was curious about the nid/jayce duo bot concept coming back into the meta.

It seems legit, the attack speed buff on jayce from nid, the spear and qgate.

The damage on nid in theory should make up for the loss from using a tanky/bruiser instead of an adc.

Issues encountered: 1.) Sona or soraka are the devil... do not play this bot lane without reducing healer choices. 2.) Mana issues, both jayce and nidalee need a good amount of mana, would clarity be a viable summoner spell in place of exhaust or heal? 3.) super early cs, base damage on jayce is a little low to compete with true ADCs.

Benefits. 1.) Lane dominance if mana is available, once jayce hits level 3 his q will be monstrous 2.) Amazing heals from nid if both are runed for it. Nid taking the windspeakers blessing and jayce taking masterys which improve healing done can really help for healing. Grabbing an ardent censor makes nid's heals almost as strong as jayce's w, 3.) Both champions are hard to gank due to mobility, along with amazing combined burst. 4.) Late game dominance and high gank potential on other lanes; I mean it's nidalee and jayce.... very few champions have an easy time dealing with them.

Concepts of overcoming issues, and creating a powerhouse combo.

Let nid take the kills, have her grab a spelltheif into a frost queen. That way nidalee gets good feed while jayce gets the cs.

Early sheen on jayce instead of a tear, go with an iceborn gauntlet and a black cleaver for good tanky stats and good damage.

If jayce grabs a frozen malled and nidalee grabs rylais, they will be near impossible to escape and will likely kill you before you get to them

Jayce builds all ad tank items, nidalee builds hard ap with good cc.

Concept build(s)

Jayce taking 18/0/12 with nid taking 12/18/0 for better heals and higher damage against cc'd targets,

Average, adjustable build on jayce: item 3111 item 3022 item 3025 item 3139 item 3004 item 3071

Nid would grab a coin or an edge

item 3092 item 3116 item 3001 item 3151 item 3285 item 3100

Boot options: Merc treads are basically your best bet, though you can easily drop the cleaver/iceborn/manamune combo to go for ionian/essence reaver/IE
