its been quite a while since i have made one of these...

now i haven't asked for buffs in quite a while. i feel like she has been in a weak spot but at least somewhat viable i feel the ap item changes helped her quite a bit. however the removal of trackers knife hit her pretty hard, well more than the ap items helped her.

and unless riot goes through with the "pathfinders knife" changes" which looked amazing but for some reason were taken off pbe last cycle.

nidalee may be in a spot where she could use some love https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/nidalee/all

you can check her winrate across all elos and it only even REACHES 50% at diamond +

and as a high skill cap champion i feel like she could use some love

now not all of the buffs i will suggest can be done simultaneously, or it might push her too far, but one or two depending on which ones are chosen could push her into more viability

Options: A: revert her traps to % max hp as seen in patch 4.17, damage cap on monsters and minions lowered from 200 to 50/100/150/200/250 Reason: nidalee has absolutely ZERO way to deal tankier champsions her traps are maxed last so until lvl 14 nidalee gets 40 damage +0.2 AP on traps.. other champs like not only get their % hp to deal with tanks but it it in a MUCH more reliable manner, and would help make her viable in top and support

B: increase trap vision on placement to old values as seen in 4.17 Reason: again with the removal of trackers knife the lack of vision really hurts nidalee (i feel this could potentialbe donw with change "A" and not break her)

C:increase the range pf huntered proc back to 5500 seriously riot why the hell was this lowered....

D: give back full pounce reset at lvl 1 vs champsions and when killing a unit. Reason: the reason why had her reset nerfed was because she should proc hunted on a jungle mob and just pounce over an over. if we were to prevent this but still allow her to reset pounce on a champion and or minion/monster KILL with pounce then she would be viabale in top lane again.

E: goes through with the pathfinders knife changes

these are the buffs i want to see back to my main.

and since it now seems she may be nearing an area where she could be in the running for some buffs. i figured i would post this so riot could use these ideas to actually buff her PROPERLY.
