@Meddler Your thoughts on the state of Nidalee

Nidalee SO NYAAA·11/29/2016, 7:54:45 PM·11 votes·5,385 views

I saw today that Nidalee has a 47.33% winrate in Diamond and a 41.21% winrate overall after her CD nerfs to her cougar Q,W and E and the heal nerf. I was wanting to know what Riot thinks of Nidalee at this point is she still too strong or is just fine now. Before anyone says it I'm not asking for Nidalee to be buffed I'm just wanted to see what Riot thinks of her current state

Theory is she's weak and it will probably be appropriate to buff her soon. Removal of Strength of Ages hit her particularly hard. We've been holding off on buffs until now though because of a large discrepancy between experienced Nidalee players and newer players. Nid's one of the champs who benefits the most from less intuitive optimizations in the jungle, so we've wanted to give it more time than most to see where she ends up once the new jungle's been properly adapted to.

She needs a rework. I think the last rework, while killing her spears, gave her bigger issues. Right now all she can do is jungle and if she does, she has to win early because she's useless late.

I get the impression you're going to learn how to farm downvotes with this thread. Nice knowin' ya.

I personally get the impression that Riot wants to push Nidalee back into lane.

a 41% winrate is pretty good, the only time something is busted is when it gets over 50% win rate over all so right now she should be good

Aren't Nida players suppose to use Thunderlord?

Yo what the hell. Why glass cannons are built as Tanks?
