Riot hold on a minute, I think you just got nerf happy.

yes grag is strong. Does he need a nerf sure. not going to fight you on that. Though lets take a deep breath and think here. The only person that can stand up to Nid right now is grag. When i say stand up i mean survive. This week LCS the caster were talking about how Nid out shines Grag.

Lets be honest the last buff Nid got was not needed. You over reacted and buffed her numbers when she was not played in the LCS yet. Now you are jumping the gun and hitting grag over the head. Lets not go down olaf path in one swing. Just choose one for this patch and see what happens. I am pretty sure you are going to see a severely hinder grag or a Nid with out an stopers. So please choose the q or the w.

Barrel Roll ( Q ) now deals 70% damage to minions

or

Drunken Rage ( W ) mana cost increased to 30 from 0 Drunken Rage ( W ) damage reduction now lasts for 2.5 seconds down from 3 seconds Drunken Rage ( W ) cooldown changed to 8/7/6/5/4 from 8/7.5/7/6.5/6

Lets not forget that nid has half her kit manaless. So Riot how about you tone this one back a hair and make this a multi step thing. You do not want to have to pull another hecarim and say opps we over nerf 6 months ago and just now we are getting to it.

Gragas in his current form has seen LCS play for a much longer time than Nidalee has. Give them some time.

Nidalee's late game is kind of extremely underwhelming. She can split push, but that's a shaky strategy in most games. Her lack of CC is pretty damning when she goes AD and her fire-and-forget AP damage is not so crippling to the opponent.

Gragas' late game is extremely relevant and demolishes a lot of AoE team comps that attempt to group up and combo PBAoE abilities.

Nidalee needs to be nerfed as soon as possible.
