Nidalee’s been a ridiculously strong jungler for a long time, dominating high-elo play and the competitive scene all season thanks to her top-tier clear speed, mobility and the poke and sustain she provides in team fights. She received some nerfs in Patch 6.21, and her win rate has seen a big dip since.
According to Champion.gg’s statistics of ranked games platinum and above, Nidalee’s win rate dropped from 50.77 percent to 46.19 percent. She now ranks 43rd out of 47 junglers listed.

What was changed? Well, her heal in Human form was nerfed, changing it so it heals based on missing health instead of a flat heal rate. All of her cooldowns in Cougar form were also increased by one second.
