General

• Nidalee is voiced by Carla Castañeda in LATAM, who is also voiced by Soraka and by Victoria Angulo in EUW, who also doubles to Mixed.
• Nidalee was the first of eight champions to have more than 4 abilities (the others are Elise, Gnar, Heimerdinger, Jayce, Karma, Lee Sin and Rek'Sai).
• Nidalee, Elise, Gnar, Jayce and Kayle are the only champions to be  remotely and  body to body.
• Nidalee is one of the few champions who has multiple textures in each aspect (one for the human form and one for the cougar).
• Nidalee was the first champion to feature a transform ability (the others are Elise, Gnar Shyvana, and Swain).
• Nidalee has four running animations (human race, human race in brush, cougar race, cougar race in brush).
• Leap was the first ability to feature a static cooldown (removed in V1.0.0.124).
• Nidalee used to have a hidden passive where nearby allied champions gain 5 experience adicional every 5 seconds if Nidalee is higher level.
• A maximum reach Javelin has the second highest damage of any single target basic ability in the game (second only to a fully channeled Drain Drain) and higher damage than many ending abilities.
• Nidalee was deemed overwhelming / unpleasant in Ultra Rapid Fire game mode (2014 edition) and was eventually disabled in non-custom games.
• After their visual redesign, their feline forms were given morphological characteristics of the larger relatives of cougars, such as a mane, shoulders taller than haunches, long skull and jaws, and occasionally long fangs of saber-toothed cats and other feline relatives. .
• The in-game client store filters Nidalee as a support even though she no longer has that tag as a secondary.
• Nidalee is one of the first champions to have a skin for each of the three major annual events of the year: Lunar Revel, Harrowing, and Snow War Showdown. She and Katarina received her Warring Kingdoms skins as her last skin in 2015.
  • The other is Jinx with her Ambitious Elf Jinx in 2017.
  • Annie finishes her last look ( Panda) in 2013. But its appearance Frostfire Annie was not cast during the Snow War Showdown event.
• Since she is a wild child, it is unknown how Nidalee could have learned to speak languages ​​fluently; as in real life, wild humans who learn their first language late in life never master linguistic aspects such as phonology, morphology, and syntax.

Development

• Nidalee was released a day after it was announced.
• Nidalee was rumored to have a special stackable damage over time that could be applied by all of her damaging abilities, as well as Prowl granting its stealth for 2 seconds when leaving the weed in cougar form (both effects actually existed and were removed prior to their release).
• Nidalee used to have a bug where Primal Outburst applied the damage of Claw Slam (meaning he could kill his teammates if they were short enough).
