Nidalee official champion artworkCHAMPION LAB · EARLY DATA
NIDALEE LAB

Land the setup.
Transform with purpose.
Complete the rotation.

Measure form sequencing, spear-to-transform timing, cougar completion, Pounce→Takedown follow-through, and combat movement.

WHAT TO WATCH

The transformation is part of the combo.

The pack measures the handoff between ranged setup and cougar commitment rather than scoring spear casts in isolation.

Early dataWe wait for enough players before calling something a benchmark.

cougar execution

Pounce-to-Takedown follow-through

What it measures
Share of Pounce casts followed by Takedown within two seconds. Mobility-only Pounces remain in the denominator, so this measures follow-through tendency rather than universal quality.
Why it matters
This is a decision and style metric, not a simple higher-is-better score. Use its position in the field to find unusual tendencies, then inspect the situations producing them.

Observed medians run from 22% in master to 29% in challenger.

Curves show observed player distributions. Anything the AI could not see in the replay is unavailable, never scored as zero.

How Nidalee mechanics are measured

Eight sequence metrics calculate. Spear distance, Hunted state, healing value, and trap conversion remain withheld.

MECHANICS LIBRARY

The Bestial Huntress, made measurable.

01Observed

Transform→Pounce

Captures how quickly human form becomes cougar access.

Measured as
Median seconds from transform to eligible Pounce.
Training drill
Name the landing target and exit before transforming.
02Observed

Cougar completion

Measures whether started cougar sequences reach their defined completion.

Measured as
Completed rotations divided by eligible starts.
Training drill
Review the missing action in every broken rotation.
03Contextual

Pounce→Takedown

Shows melee follow-through without proving the entry was safe or Hunted.

Measured as
Eligible Pounces followed by Takedown divided by opportunities.
Training drill
Separate damage commitments from mobility Pounces.
04Coverage gated

Spear geometry

Value changes with travel distance and collision path.

Measured as
Unavailable until origin, contact position, and target attribution validate.
Training drill
Classify misses by distance, read, collision, or rush.
MATCHUP APPLICATION

HOW WE KNOW

See exactly what is measured.

We show patterns only after enough real players support them. Early results stay labeled, and missing information stays unavailable.

Every result defines what counts, when it applies, and which actions are excluded.

4 things we cannot score yet

spear contact distance, Hunted Pounce conversion, effective healing, trap trigger conversion stay unavailable until the replay shows them reliably.
