when nidalee is popular

so this isn't a "nid op" thread at all i just wanted to point something out that I've noticed about nid Every time nidalee is popular it seems to only be because she's completely broken in a role. Like right now she's popular in soloq and lcs because she can clear the jungle faster than any actual jungle can. when she was popular mid it was because even when she was behind, she could still force your carry to back after one spear with a hitbox larger than what it was. popular top because midalee was nerfed so she became a freelo top laner because she could just poke you with spears and aa then switch to cougar and deal tons of dmg and escape ganks with the bushes. idk just seems like nidalee is only popular when she's broken but that's prob because her kit is really hard to balance. I'm probably wrong on my facts here so feel free to correct me and again i'm not in any way saying she's op.

She has so much in her kit you can't really balance her. She's either OP in a role, or weak in a role. Very little middle ground. Add in the fact that she is so safe, you can't punish her for a mistake.

I agree with you. However, what can be done about it? Human form:sustain, poke. Cougar form:all in. She NEEDS her 6 abilities, otherwise she won't be Nidalee anymore.

Aside from split pushing and when she had big spears, she really brings almost nothing to a team. That's why she's fine. She isn't a spectacular ganker, she has no cc, built ad she has no heal, built ap, she has no sustainable damage. She's slippery, and bursty, and 100% of her damage is avoidable now.
