With 3.9% popularity, Nidalee constantly encounters meta-dominant Volibear (5.7%, 10th place out of 54 Jungle champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Nidalee performance in the current patch.

Survive and scale: Nidalee faces both matchup (46.47%) and farming disadvantages (5.46 vs 6.75/min). With a 1.29 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Nidalee outputs more damage (668 vs 627/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Nidalee maintains better KDA (2.80, 13th place vs 30th for Volibear), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Nidalee deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Volibear has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Volibear, ranking 9th (versus 44th for Nidalee) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.7 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Nidalee player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Volibear player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
