Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Shaco wins with a 61.9% win rate compared to Nidalee's 38.1%, giving Shaco a 23.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Nidalee controls the early laning stage, but Shaco outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Nidalee needs to press advantages before Shaco reaches their power spikes, while Shaco should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.
