Nidalee in League Classic

Champion Bio

Nidalee pounced into League on December 12, 2009 as the game's first ever form-changer. The bigger hitbox and tons of damage on her spear made her a fierce hunter in the right hands, such as in SKT T1 Faker's debut. But since she moves faster in bushes and pounces every few seconds, Nidalee's ability to dodge skillshots might just make her too tanky.

What Changed in Classic

- Aspect of the Cougar (R) does not start with a level - Prowl (P) has Hunt passive removed - Bushwhack (W) does insane damage
