Warwick rework = AD nidalee?? Mixed feelings from a Nidalee main...

SwiftKitten88··1 votes·1,430 views

i have to say... his role COMPLETELY overlaps Nidalee role in the jungle. but is just frankly better at everything..

hyper mobile, predator in the jungle.

can run fast... has sustain. is tanky...

i mean i LOVE IT. i love how he plays EXACTLY like my main. and i'm going to LOVE playing him...

but... nidalee has a 41% win rate... and the new WW frankly looks OP as f*ck, if i do say so.

need to gank? no need to land a spear.. just press q... need to heal and get increased attack speed... don't waste your mana, you passively get increased attack speed and a heal when attacking low targets.

need a GIANT gap closer? well you got your ultimate.

longer cooldown than nids.. but is most fight you can run right up was your absurd movement speed that is practically nidalee's empowered pounce speed.

and landing your ulti is EXACTLY the same as a nidalee spear and pounce in... EXCEPT... UNLIKE Nidalee .. your a freaking tank... and u can STAY in the fight... your ultimate has 100% life steal and you have a damage reduction and a CC to get you out. which is one of nidale BIGGEST issues.. in a team fight she CAN'T pounce in them if they are grouped...

he is just an AD Nidalee but better in every way...

which is great... because that's EXACTLY what i like to play...

but where does that leave nidalee?

i mean she does the same thing as an AP champ.... but in the state she is in... she cant really do it....

don't get me wrong.. i LOVE the new warwick rework and i am TREMENDOUSLY excited to play it and get some cool skins for it. but at the same time i don't want to to completely overlap the one role my main has... and do everything better while being tanker and easier to play... all at the same time.

Nid is like a poke/assassin, while WW is a diver/bruiser. They play nothing alike lol

No poke.

Less mobility when escaping.

I'd like to see Nidalee moved back into midlane as a high skill-cap champ. If she survives lane, she can become a dangerous assassin. Her Q makes her such an unhealthy jungler tbh.

Why are you comparing Warwick's Q, a melee ability, to that of nidalee's spear which has greater range/damage potential? Why are you comparing Nidalee's pounce which can get her past terrain, to Warwick's mobility which does not afford such a thing outside of his ultimate? The two don't play the same at all, and I just cannot see how you would make such an assertion.

his Q is like her empowered pounce, kinda also the merge of a takedown too his passive on W does EXACTLY what nidalee E does... aka heal and attack speed

i mean obviously they're different enough.

but overall the get the same thing with thier skills

hyper mobile attack speed steroid/ heal long range skillshot to melee engage

obviously nid has ranged auto in human form... obviosuly nid has more AOE clear with swipe and pounce.

but they are essentially the same. and jumping over walls is a lot less important with blast cones everywhere. as as a player who plays Ziggs i find them fairly easy to use effectively.

and nid isn't really "poke" yes she is assassin, and she certainly HAS poke, but her "poke" isnt really used in the jungle at all, her spear is really just there to proc hunted to let her pounce in and get the kill with a takedown.

and the onyl difference between "assassins" and "divers" is assassins usually have an escape to get back out after they go in, (and are squishy); whereas divers LACK said escape but are designed to STAY in afterwards, and have they tankiness to do so.

I have never imagined Nidalee as a heavy sustain champion. More like someone who widdles you down from a far and then goes for a throat.

I honestly can't see how their playstyles are similar.
