How to play it
DO
Mind her traps
Keep track of her W traps, especially while running around in your ult late game.
Get the jump
She's easy to kill if you get the jump — Empowered E is great since she can't kite away.
Ward your jungle
Nidalee constantly invades your jungle — keep wards and a plan for it.
DON'T
Never sprint blindly through her traps while ulting — they reveal and slow you.
