Well, that "rework" to Nidalee was a total failure

metaworldpeace10··2 votes·753 views

Lets go over the Nidalee timeline.

  1. Pre-rework Nidalee had cougar form at 6, played as an ap poke mage. Nidalee could land one spear on a squishy and win a teamfight. You couldn't catch her and with athene's she never ran out of mana. Toxic.
  2. Reworked Nidalee into an AD bruiser with cougar form at level one. Nidalee went top lane and molested all melee top laners. You couldn't gank her because of her mobility, her q execute is stronger than Garen's ultimate. Toxic.
  3. AD Bruiser Nidalee nerfed into unviability and AP Nidalee became the new build path. AP Nidalee now still sits back and throws spears, but this time she can land a spear and through her mobility molest you like an assassin. Toxic.

So what was the point of the rework? She's still has the same toxic play style of "land one spear and engage" and she's still played as an AP spear poking mage, which does not fit the theme of her kit at all.

She is back at Ap again. She seems to be doing quite good actually.

So basically you are complaining about her being an assassin that has to land a difficult skill shot to do anything to you. Wow, being the most conditional and easy to avoid assassin in the game is just so toxic.

To me I think the issue lies in her early game power, while I get the identity is to hunt targets The second she jumps on you in Couger, you're ether dead or going to be close to dead, all the spear does is soften you and gives her a 900 range gap closer, I'm not saying players shouldn't be punished for being hit by the spear but the punishment shouldn't be instant death or your summoners and a back, not even the biggest lane bullies punish that hard, the big part of her which I don't like is her early and mid game power, she does so much damage with only around 20 AP where I've killed my opponent in 2 combos and easily 2 v 1ed a Gragas and gangplank with just a sheen (and nether were behind) the issue with Nidalee is that early power lets her get to the instantly deleting monster faster then (dare I say) a Zed or a Talon that's been fed, while I'm fine with her late game power since it's late game power I don't think having that early game power is a good thing, basically I think what they should do now they have less of a "nuke tipped spear" Nidalee and more of a "bob and delete" nidalee they just need to reign in that early to mid game power.
