Didn't nidalee get nerfed like a patch or two ago?

I think fizz is in an ok state, minus the tank build, still.

I don't actually see tons of lb

zed needs one. although I find him fun to lane against.

I find it funny when ppl say Azir is countered by Zed.

Azir has a longer poke range and if Zed ults, Azir can throw his ult behind him and catch the ninja off guard.

I've played Azir vs Zed more than any other matchup and yes while it works, Zed can still escape after you ult him back with Azir.

Very true. Grant it, Zed is burst while Azir is sustained dmg.

I love laning against zed.

Grab Lux Ahri Lulu Blitzcrank and make him cry. Those are just my favorites though

Oh lord, not the AP blitzcrank.

Anything but that...

😱😱 😱

Friendly reminder that nidalee is one of the highest winrate jungler in ranked and the most contested pick in competitive

I honestly don't think vayne, le blanc, fizz, or nidalee needs a nerf. Zed, yea.

Nidalee/Zed are the only ones you listed that actually need nerfs. The others may be absolutely cancer to play against with some of the most unfun kits in the game, but that doesn't necessarily make them OP or needing nerfs.

Uhh what role are you considering nidalee in?

lb is not really strong compared to other midlaners, Zed has a medium winrate, but is hated by everyone, probably not op but very toxic. Fizz is very strong at the moment, especially with the tank build, maybe some nerfs on his base damages incoming. Vayne is balanced, but her lategame is annoying. Nidalee is still extremely strong, but I am not sure if she really needs nerfs.

They provide #LCSBigPlays is probably the main reason. I also think that all of the balance team main these champs.

Nid is ridiculously broken. She may be the most OP champion once mastered. She is definitely the most OP jungler in most team comps.

Zed is completely broken now that QSS doesn't remove his ult. Hell, he didn't even need his ult if ahead. He needs MAJOR nerfs now.

Riot thinks LB is worthless if behind, which is completely wrong since 1) She rarely is behind and 2) She is high reward, very low risk. Honestly, when was the last time you saw a good LB player hard CC'd and punished 1v1? Even if behind she can delete squishes with ease with a couple items.

Fizz does an insane amount of damage for how safe he is. If his ult hits you, you will die 90% of the time. Plus you can't get away from him or catch him.

Vayne would be fine if they weakened her early game. She is a hyper carry, her early game should suck. Twitch is probably the best example of this for hyper carries right now. Weak early, terror late.
