Nidalee vs Rengar Matchup Summary

Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Nidalee wins with a 70.0% win rate compared to Rengar's 30.0%, giving Nidalee a 40.0 percentage point advantage. Nidalee dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Rengar players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
