I know nobody cares but over the past 2 seasons lane Nidalee was removed from the game. Why?

How is Nidalee doing in the jungle what she does TOP less cancer, when she can play the map way harder as a jungler. Why deny Seraph from playing his favorite pick? Cause it "fits her theme"?? Sometimes what fits a champions "theme" and what makes sense and is logical are not the same thing.

She needs very little to be somewhat viable in lane and she BELONGS there. :(

Ever since the hunt on monsters change, it's been all very misguided and not well thought out nerfs. She could jungle successfully even before that patch. Why remove her AP mid and AD top playstyles? Why should jungling be her only strength? T_T

I really wish we could just go back in time and do the right thing, if you go to r/Nidaleemains you will see lots of people are still very interested in laning with her and keep experimenting with it (with low success that is).

EDIT: Tone down Nidalee's global pressure by making her a laner again.

She's not really that bad in lane if you want to play her there. I know 2 high diamond players that main midalee.

I feel your pain. They could easily revert some of her nerfs and remove her passive working on jungle camps and she would still be able to jungle. I was really worried way back when they gave her that passive to jungle monsters because she could already jungle very easily its just that only nidalee mains were doing it so it never really caught on.
