Just wondering, do you guys have any plans on changing Nidalee?

I feel like they should be looking to buff her. Last season, she was top tier the entire way through. This season, the jungle changes have completely buttraped her, turning her from the best jungler in the game to literally the worst (as per stats on champion.gg). She has the lowest win rate of any jungler in the game, as well as a dauntingly high skill floor to allow her to simply function. Her general win rate is 40.77%, and her win rate by # of games played peaks at 46.42%, so even the best Nidalee players in the world have a negative win rate with her in the jungle.

I agree completely. So many different factors have contributed to how bad she is now. SoTA being removed, Rylai's giving her even less HP and the nerfs she received in patch 6.21 that nerfed her heal and increased the CD on all her cougar spells. I don't care if Nidalee becomes top tier or anything I just want her to be playable. She cannot compete in the jungle now.

Not to mention that the main way she cleared beforehand was by setting up a bunch of traps near camps and then pulling the camps into them as she did them to deal damage and mark the target, allowing her to target that enemy with her cougar W and to get the reset, and now she can't do that with the buff camps anymore, meanwhile the number of raptors makes it near impossible to mark all of them now unless she starts at them.

I really wish she was buffed as well. My team will just see me think about picking her in queue and get tilted by the chance I decide to play her. She is an early game champion that had no chance early game. She gets boned ganking if she misses a spear and cant clear camps fast enough to keep up the pace with the other champions. I cant manage to clear birds myself until about level seven. She's my favorite champion through even this major nerfing done to her, but it's almost impossible to play her.
