How to Play with Shaco as Nidalee in LoL

Overall, Nidalee sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shaco. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This difference could signal that Shaco does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Nidalee is played together with Shaco on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shaco.

Additionally, when Nidalee plays with Shaco on the same side, she on average receives less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Shaco does a decent job of protecting Nidalee in teamfights.

Is Nidalee better when played alongside Shaco?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Nidalee that will always be her ideal synergy. However, Shaco is a relatively poor teammate for Nidalee. By being on the same team as Nidalee, he lowers their win rate by -1.1% to 43.7%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Nidalee and Shaco that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Shaco has a greater difficulty than Nidalee. That means you need to be careful when finding Shaco teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Working on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by pairing Nidalee and Shaco together, you probably will not be providing your team a lot of crowd control. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of your Shaco ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
