Nidalee has been toxic for awhile its time for Riot to admit it
Her pick rate is 21% and her ban rate is 57%. That says enough when her WR is 49%. She has a lower popularity than Lee by 4%, but a 4% higher WR which used to be 4% lower before needless buffs. I will note Lee's ban rate is 3%. Shows you how much that people don't really understand this game.
Hrm champ has 3% ban rate and is always average lets complain. But the second like someone like Nidalee arises she is ignored.
Nidalee has always been strong giving her jungle power pushed her over the edge as now she has 10x the utility because Riot said "Hrm she isn't winning enough, I know lets gives her a major buff and a skill floor buff in the same patch".
Her being able to hunt creeps is downright stupid with high damage she has already. On top of that she can use it to gank like no tomorrow and all she needs to do to gank successfully is land a spear which is easily done from the fog of war when early game u can't afford that much ward coverage.
Also giving her hunt on jung creeps also gives her more control over dragon and baron which to be honest should not be her strong point. She has an even more loaded kit the Lee now while being much more toxic because she can erase tanks.
