Why is Nidalee not included in the "assasin" rework?
you have
listed as an assassin/ hybrid artillery
and as a nidalee player, heck a nidalee main.
nidalee had one of the best reworks ever designed.
and yet when you decided to "allow" her to jungle.
you have been slowly UNDOING her rework
the %hp on traps is gone and back to flat damage.. but it now does HALF the flat damage it used pre rework, to scales worse, does proc in an AOE.. does reveal stealthed champs anymore
what i loved about nidalee %hp reworked traps is that becuase EVERY nidalee gets traps last. the 10% hp still scales as people got more hp later in the game. and it also scaled with her own AP.
what really made these traps work was that even though you only had 1 pointuntil late game . even though you couldn't put them in a minion wave.
they allows nidalee it have at least ONE defense against her absolute hardest counter... TANKS. and yet this one defense was still completly held back by the fact that she couldn't FORCE her oppoents to walk over them
and during her rework you came up with the idea to CAP this %hp damage at 200 vs jungle mobs
and yet when your put her into the jungle and it was shown that 200 damage was still WAY to much with her new jungle abilties. instead of LOWING the cap to say 40 or 50. you completely remove her rework. WHY?? you totally destroyed her support role by doing this
later on her clear was deemed "too fast"
and nerf after nerf hit her until you remove the root on jungle mobs. and yet this did NOTHING to slow her clear down. and infact at higher elo's it made her clear FASTEr becuase of the "compensation buff" you gave her pounce.
so not only did you "nerf" buff nidalee for higher elo players.. it made it so that the other 90% of players... you know the people BELOW diamond.. had a MUCH harder clear. when infact she was only an ISSUE in higher elo games to begin with.
all the while nidalee's other roles... top mid and support have dropped below 40% win rate, yet you ignore this and focus on her "jungle"
and THEN you remove her pounce reset. (yes its technically "nerfed") and say it is to lower her clear speed.. which it did. but it lowered it to the point where, not only does nid have a CRAZY hard early clear becuase of the removal of root. and barely survives. its now not any faster any pretty much any other jungler.
and that's not even the HALF of it
your nerf to her "clear speed" hit MUCH more than her jugnle "clear speed"
it COMPLETELY REMOVED her ability to TRADE
a nidalee trade relies on you landing a spear. (aka hard to hit skillshot) and then pouncign in. use your kitty moves and pounce out.) and IF you landed that spear and it was safe to poucne in... you would come out ahead in the trade.
yet now. if you pounce in you need to wait FOUR more seconds.. after you use all your abilities.. and it isn't until lvl 16 where she can trade normally again
do u think
would be banned if he had to wait FOUR second after he ulted in before he could get out
do u think
would be used if she had to wait FOUR second to get out after she popped in.
heck she only has a 4 second window to go back.. and you think its ok for nidalee to just to be force to sit there for that time
and during that time the enemy just does more damage to you than you do to them... unless you kill them..
and even then.. you STILL cant get out if there are any other players there or a tower you need to get out from.
the ENTIRE point of nidalee's REWORK was to GIVE her counterplay so she just doesn't "throw spears all day" if she CAN'T pounce in because it is now frankly suicide to do so.. isn't she doing EXACTLY what her rework was designed to STOP her from doing. which is sitting back and throwing spears all day.
and now nidalee has a 46% win rate in the jungle http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/nidalee/all and lower than 40% in her top mid and support roles riot. NINETY PERCENT of players are below plat.
nidalee does NOT reach a 50% win rate until she is plat
for the LAST FIVE SEASONS nidalee's winrate has been roughly at the same % for ALL elos
and yet now you suddenly decide that those of us who have been playing nidalee since we have started playing.. suddenly don't have the skill to play her at the level she needs to be any good.
if you want to design a high skill cap champion that is ONLY really good at high elos.. then fine. make a NEW CHAMP.
but don't take a balanced existing champ and make it so that 90% of player now no longer have the "skill requirement" it take to play her at a level when they can reach a 50% win rate.
you are doing an assassin rework.
WHY isn't
on the list?
for 90% of us players.. she is NOT in a good spot.
is FREAKING OP, i really don't know anything about him but i'm going to tell you that he is OP and you don't know what hes like.
