[Gameplay] Post rework Nidalee has bugs! Didn't you know?

Sagee Prime·9/26/2014, 3:30:34 PM·3 votes·3,096 views

Just going to list out all of Nidalee's current bugs. Still testing live Nidalee so see if their are any other bugs.

General:

  1. Nidalee appears and reappears randomly in the wrong place visually when moving in and out of brush or fog of war.

  2. Nidalee's mana regen is sometimes higher in cougar form than in human form.

Prowl/Hunt:

  1. Revealing stealth with the Hunt mechanic is very inconsistent. Stealth and unstealth targets that activate Bushwhack or take a hit from Javelin Toss are revealed for 4 seconds. If the target is transitioning into stealth the reveal stops working the moment they enter stealth instead of revealing them for the full duration.

Javelin Toss:

  1. Does not reveal enemies that are transitioning into stealth for the full duration. (See Prowl/Hunt)

  2. Javelin Toss visual still doesn't match the hitbox up properly when going for horizontal or diagonal shots.

Suggest lowering it's height on the Z-axis(may have problems with clipping the ground if it's too short on the Z-axis, hopefully the new map has a completely flat terrain with art assets to make it not look flat.) The hitbox reduction led to less cases where the Javelins hit despite visually missing but more cases where they miss despite visually hitting.

  1. Javelin Toss visually passes through enemy targets despite clearly hitting them visually and via the hit box. Could be latency issues but has become increasingly consistent.

Takedown:

  1. Nidalee gets locked out of using her auto attack for 1 to 3 seconds when using takedown on a target that dies in the middle of the animation. imagine it's an enemy minion or champion that is being focus fired by allies. The target dies before Takedown deals it's damage but in the middle of it's animation causing Nidalee to stop and pause leaving her unable to auto attack again until she either transforms or waits 1 to 3 seconds.
  • Gamebreaking
  1. Nidalee will sometimes drop her current target and use takedown on a different target other than the one you designated by right clicking on. For example: I'm basic attacking Katarina and she steps on a trap and shunpos into a group of minions. I have not clicked on any enemies other than her and switch forms and long range pounce to her location with takedown primed and only having my cursor hovering over her so I don't click on a minion on accident. Nidalee used takedown on a minion instead of Katarina.

Bushwhack:

  1. Does not reveal enemies that are transitioning into stealth for the full duration. (See Prowl/Hunt)

  2. When switching from cougar to human and pressing bushwhack the ability acts like it's smart casted even when it's not and either gets placed directly under Nidalee or where your cursor is located if it's in range.

Pounce:

  1. Pounce does not always interact properly with the 'Hunt' mechanic. You can get in range for a hunted pounce and after getting the indication that you are in range you will do a regular short range pounce instead of the long range hunted version.

  2. When Nidalee is far off screen Pounce still sometimes goes towards the cursor even when you are viewing the map from a screen or more away from Nidalee's location. It should only go in the direction you are facing when you aren't looking at Nidalee.

  3. Nidalee sometimes vanishes for a short duration after pouncing like she has just entered brush or cloaked.

Primal Surge: N/A

Swipe:

  1. Swipe sometimes goes off in the wrong direction and often after casting other abilities like pounce. This bug has become very prevalent with patch 4.18 and is easy to reproduce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p74e5mLl1m8

  2. If you cast Primal Surge on a target outside of cast range and shift to cougar while Nidalee is automatically moving towards the target she will cast swipe immediately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVqghO0PDyg&feature=youtu.be

Aspect of the Cougar:

  1. Nidalee's basic attack is generally clunky and sometimes unresponsive when after using various skills in cougar(Not the same as the takedown bug)

General Global Champion Bugs:

  1. Nidalee and many other champions with skillshots are benefiting from 3 inconsistent visual bugs. Bug1: Skillshots disappear when shifting forms, casting another ability, moving, or any other form of cancelling the cast animation. Bug2: Skillshots show up with only secondary particles but not primary particles - EX: Javelin Toss showing up as a glowing red flash or thin red/brown line instead of a glowing spear. Bug3: Skillshots disappear when cast from out of vision range or Fog of War.

Suggestions: 1)Lower the Z-Axis on Javelin Toss's visual so it matches it's hitbox better. Map geometry may be a problem with this in certain areas so maybe implement this on the new map?

  1. Make Swipe fire in the direction Nidalee is facing unless you are highlighting an enemy target instead of simply firing in the direction of the cursor. often times you want Nidalee to use it immediately in the direction she is facing and switch to another target in a different direction but current swipe controls make it much harder to do so.
