How to Use Nidalee Counter Data
Need a clear view of which champions give Nidalee trouble? The matchup figures here are drawn from live ranked Jungle games, not from opinion-based tier lists. Right now Shyvana, Rammus, and Udyr are the hardest opponents for Nidalee, and she posts her weakest win rates against them in the current data. Shyvana is the strongest counter overall: Nidalee wins only 44.7% of the 432 games recorded in that matchup. Going the other way, Nidalee does well against Olaf, Qiyana, and Locke, so those are the safer champions to face.
Every card lists Nidalee’s win rate along with the number of games behind it. A matchup backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more weight than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come from the win rates themselves: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. They’re meant to help you read the numbers quickly and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, runs on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. Matchups only tell part of the story, so pair them with the current Nidalee build for the best items and runes, or visit the Nidalee champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
