HEy Ronin,
This is actually intended and the patch notes were updated today to reflect that:
QUIT RUNNING I'M TRYING TO HUNT 'Hunted' monsters are also rooted for 2 seconds after being debuffed so that Nidalee can actually get in range to Pounce on them. This change was included in 5.2, we just forgot to document it. Sorry!

Not that she really needs help taking it. She has a huge amount of damage in her kit. I don't see why I'm getting downvoted, I'm just trying to figure out why it was given. An actual thought out reason, because 'helping her pounce neutral monsters' doesn't make any sense. And it certainly doesn't make sense that hitting a monster with a spear roots it in place. I'm not sure how this mechanic is any different from ranged junglers being able to use the leashing mechanic to avoid taking damage from the camps (which Riot reduced to only 5 as opposed to being the 10 it used to be). Just looking for some consistency or explanation.
