Nidalee

And that, That was the beginning of it, just waiting for those game fives.

It was Irelia, Nidalee, I think, that clear, and Raptor played, and it was into the Skarner that...

Gideon basically didn't get to play, and that was the end of the series.

And it was

after a previous series where Clear played the top Nidalee as well, so it was like such a mind game in the draft.

It was actually very cool.

I just like

the weaknesses um i think this is this is an ap shaker weakness but it's also just a very personal weakness of mine and it's being invaded because it throws me off of my consistency but also ap shaker I play around my traps, right? And when I'm in the jungle, when I'm clearing my own camps, I'm using these traps on the camps and I don't have them ready if an enemy comes in.

So when I'm being invaded by Graves or Nidalee or anything like that, they will typically just kill me.

I can't defend myself very well, right? You really have to predict the invades to really have an advantage against them.

So you'll say that's your main weakness.

It goes both ways.

All right, let's do the trio of the hard jungle champions, the literally kindreds, the least into the world.

Nidalee is probably very hard as well.

She is an invade jungler, which I already struggle with.

Before we went into the game, more than what was actually going to happen in the early game.

Because we haven't seen Nidalee in so long.

Atlas and I had a good discussion about it off camera about how Nidalee in fact should have just run down the jungle and taken everything in that game based on the prio she had.

And we just haven't seen Nidalee in so long and haven't seen, haven't seen Nidalee jungle being played as a meta pick in forever.

So we had just kind of, in our brains, we were like, okay, so where's the CC set up for the spear to land? Well, we weren't actually thinking about, you know, what that means in the jungle.

So, yeah.

Poppy was going to make things a little bit difficult, but they did eventually just kind of get there from having too many threats and too many go buttons.

Game three, Nidalee from Isma.

That was an interesting look.

Lee Sin's usually difficult for that champion to deal with because he can kind of get on top.

They can't deal with it.

They have to, like, either respect it and not play anything, or they don't respect, they play something, then you charm that unit, then you use your emissary unit to push her back, like a Nidalee-

Yeah

... or another trade off.
