although the hate forNidalee has certainly died down.. frankly a lot of people on these forums (who clearly DON'T play her) keep saying she can do "X" and while most of the time she COULD have done that in a prevois patch.. her ability to do those things was removed quite a long time ago

This are some of the things i hear people say

"Nidalee can do a full map leashless clear crazy fast and barely take any damage and then gank" yes she could.. but this was removed in patch 6.6 on March 23, 2016 ever since then she lost the ability to do a leashless clear

"nidalee clear is crazy fast" again it WAS crazy fast and still was pretty fast in 6.6, so in 6.7 the nerfed her pounce damage

not only making her clear crazy hard.. but a bit lower in patch 6.11 her pounce was absolutely gutted to the point where most nidalee wont even GET pounce until lvl 3 unless they have crazy high elo mechanical kiting skills

as of right now.. her clear is actually SLOWER than most meta jungle clears, it is CRAZY hard, and until you hit 3 you are EXTREMELY vulnerable to an invade.

nidalee still has insane clear speed after level 6 yes... and she still has a very strong mid game but her early game has been absolutely gutted. and im tired of people telling me "nid can do X" when she hasn't been able to do that for 4 months

heck i still get people here who think the "invisible spear" was something that happened EVERY time nidalee threw a spear.. it didn't.. and it was actually VERY hard to do and required you to do something in a specific pattern that isn't something nid would normally do. so unless you KNEW how to do the invisible spear and were PURPOSELY doing it, 9 times out of 10.. your spears would be visible.

yes.. nidalee was CRAZY strong and OP during the entirely of season 5 and the start of season 6. but guys.. she ISN'T anymore.

please stop treating her like who she was a year ago and treat her how she is NOW.

Watch the video and realize that Nid can clear the entire jungle without a leash faster than Volibear can do even 4 camps with a leash. It's been proven time and again that she has the fastest clear.

If Nid lands her Q on you, she can jump on you from halfway across the screen and finish you off if the other laner does anything at all to you. Even if you do survive it, you have to back since you are too low to risk getting CS. So you are behind in lane either way.

Graves bursted down in 2 seconds? Once again it's obvious you have no good understanding of the game. Graves is easily the tankiest of the ADCs and can knock you back or CC you in between his reloads. He can kite you long enough for the other laner to easily kill you.

As for 1v5, no jungler can carry a crap team. However, if the lanes are pretty even (as they will be the majority of the time), she can easily get them ahead with her pressure on ganks and setting back the enemy jungler.

he shows a video if nidalee in season 5.. doing something she hasn't been able to do for over 4 months. and tries to use that as "proof" as to why she is overpowered now.

GUYS... WAKE UP!!! She CAN'T do this anymore...

Cancer shouldn't be buffed. When cancer gets buffed we get shitty balance states, which is the reason why this game is how it is.

yes.. for a while you could at least the first half of season 5. idk when it first started but it happen right after they let her jungle (although since using it involved a bush and fog of war and another trick which i wont mention) it might have first appeared after her initial rework and might now have been discovered until she started to jungle.

either way it took riot about 6 months to finally get it fixed making it one of the longest running game breaking exploits i know of. although i'm sure there are more.

Wait, people are saying shit about Nid? I haven't seen a Nid in game nor have I seen anyone complain about her in forever.

well not in game... but they still do it on the forums..

Like here on the Boards? That explains why I haven't seen any. The Nid complaints are probably buried under the sea of Dynamic/ Solo Queue threads.
