She is a dps champion when played like this, your auto attack does decent damage.

You want to slow them in human form with long range (mallet) then cat form pounce into them. Once you get close use swipe, auto attacking when possible.

When they get low use your takedown, this is the ultimate finishing move. (You can use it to open with, but save the next one as a finisher.)

also why magic res runes over CDR runes?

doesnt CDR help the cougar skills alot

dont think cdr counts for the cougar skills

Well the point of this build is to survive and deal insane damage.

Since I don't get any MR items, I like to have the runes + defense tree to help make up for that.

CDR would be fine if you prefer that, but pounce's CD doesn't go below 3 seconds.

you seem really good at the game, do you have any tables on how much of a difference the MR runes will do?

or on average if just getting CDR would be worth it

usualy mages (casters, w.e) get cdr, and dps get MR

For what you get out of the runes for Nidalee you won't see much of a difference. If you want CDR get a Yomuu's.

question

why do u get atma's?

not saying its bad, just any reasoning behind it? never really got it before much

It makes survivability items (hp) give you more of a dps effect.

It also puts your armor over 100 which gives you the upper hand when vs other dps champions.

first game ad nid

went 10/5/9

was pretty great, can see why u like it
