Nidalee's swipe is bugging after patch 4.18

MetalCoB·10/9/2014, 9:57:22 AM·15 votes·4,576 views

Hello, after patch 4.18 I'm facing a bug with 's Swipe (cougar's E skill).

Description: When Nidalee is standing still (not moving) swipe works fine, but the problem is when nidalee is moving (i.e after jumping, or just running). What exactly happens is that when Nidalee is moving or jumping as cougar and you Swipe she just swipes the opposite direction that she is facing, while she is meant to swipe in the direction of the cursor. So, overall, the cursor doesn't affect Swipe's direction. The skill is just affected by where Nidalee is facing at.

Please check if this is a general bug (which I'm pretty sure it is, as I tested it) and fix this as soon as possible (And maybe go for loss prevented in the games already played as it really affects the whole Nidalee gameplay).

P.S I found the bug in EUNE , I just couldn't report it there because the forums are down atm.

This has cost me more than one kill, now that I think about it. I play Nid way too much and know my damage well, and after I do my full combo and they have a sliver of HP left, now I know why.

well...that isn't supposed to happen. Have you tried posting in the 4.18 mega bug thread? perhaps it will have more visibility there?

Yes I am having the same problem, when nidalee is running and I press E she quickly turns around and swipes then continues to run in the direction before the E. Its quite annoying. Please look into this riot! Thank you.

This also cost me 3-4 kills and made my targets live with like 100HP because of the swipe miss, which is pretty gamebreaking.

This was reported yesterday and a Rioter already saw and it's going to be taken care of. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/wQam49lK-nidalee-bug?comment=0004

It might be a patch fix later on, or fixed in the next patch, but Riot is aware of it.

After the AD Nid nerfs, she needs all the damage she can get. The bug lost me the first two fights until I realized that it wasn't working as it was supposed to, and then my opponent was way too far ahead for me to come back.
