The Nidalee Problem

I'm glad nidalee is being reworked, but is there any reason why her spears haven't had their numbers dropped until the rework is out, if you acknowledge that Q spam is a problem for the game's health?

Her spears have been probably one of the most complained about champion-related featured on the forums since pretty much forever, yet there's not been any nerfs to her human form Q that have been in any way effective. It seems a tad silly to just leave it alone until the rework is complete

My guess is that they don't want to nerf it before the rework comes out because if they do it will essentially make her useless in any form other than AD Bruiser. The reason Nidalee needs the rework so badly is because you can't nerf her Q without making her useless as an AP champion.

Because she's honestly balanced as a champion.

Does balanced = fun? Absolutely not - nidalee is fun to play, but pretty unfun to play with or against. But she is balanced (her extreme poke is balanced by the fact that she's squishy AF yet needs to be melee to get off a lot of her damage, so she's useless in teamfights). The balance team doesn't want to touch that, given that she has a rework that's not too far out there.

Edited for clarity.
