So it was puzzling me for a bit as to what was going on, I kept telling myself I was just being bad and mis-micro'ing my mouse in the wrong direction; but after fully testing the parameters of nidalee's cougar form, I have compiled these details about this recent gameplay bug -- and I say recent, because this was not a problem upon the initial Nidalee rework release: I think it came in the last two mini patches.

[Effects of the Bug]:

  1. Cougar form swipe will sometimes apply 180 degrees in the wrong direction of where you aimed the swipe to go causing you to miss it completely.

[Parameters of the Bug]:

  1. moving towards a marked target and then using swipe a) note: if you stop moving and then swipe towards your marked target, it will not bug
  2. using swipe mid-pounce or just after you pounce. a) note: if you stop movement after your pounce and swipe your marked target it will not bug

[Thoughts on the conditions of the Bug]:

  1. It would appear through some odd code manipulation, that cougar's form swipe is sometimes flipping the x/y values for the target area. However, considering it is only present under the conditions of moving towards a marked target or pouncing towards a target I'm not sure if the bug in the code lies in nidalee's passive or her conditions of movement.
  2. So I think it would be safe to assume the bug would be solved by fixing up either the code relating to how swipe interacts with a passive marked target, or how swipe interacts with a target under the conditions of movement.

I hope this gets looked at soon, it's driving me insane! :D Nidalee Nidalee Nidalee
