Riot's official pronunciation for Nidalee is "Needlee."

I protest Riot's pronunciation framework.

That's Phreak's pronunciation framework, not the rest of us!

Is this comment Nidalee specific, or for uck-shan vs ack-shan too? The world (aka Reddit) needs to know!

This was more about Nid-A-Lee.

I've heard it pronounced Ack-Shan fairly consistently internally, wouldn't swear though that that's intended versus just internal misunderstanding too

Phreak said in Dive podcast he’s North African not South Asian

Apparently I was misinformed! I had heard both and went with the one I heard more recently.

That was actually the canon pronunciation from before you joined the company. There was literally a thread on the LoL forums saying, "Hey, so we want a champion whose name is pronounced need-a-lee. Which of these spellings works best for you?"

But as players made "Nid-a-lee" her pronunciation over the years we eventually retconned it.

I'm here for you and all your ancient Riot trivia needs. And I love being pedantic about pronunciation!
