Post for @Riot Jinxylord regarding Nidalee

I feel like youre the person I can relate to when it comes to champion fantasy and smoothness. So could you please look into Nidalee as those are both gone with her. Nidalee mains dont want her AA resets back because it made her good they want it back because it made her FEEL good. Nidalee has a million interactions/mechanics removed because of pro play but the ones who actually suffer from this are the Nidalee mains. Pro players dont care if nidalee feels good or that she lives up to her Amazon goddess/huntress fantasy, they only care about what she can bring to the table. She feels like she's unfinished, like spells thrown into a blender and Nidalee's kit came out.

Her human form has traps and whats the function of traps? Well trapping someone right? Wouldnt it be weird if elise's cocoon did damage instead of stunning someone? We really dont care about the damage part of her W its fine if that gets removed all together if just gives us the feeling that were actually using traps as scouting tool or as snaring tool ( with requirments attached to it ofc ). In the past her w shred resistances, did %age max hp, snared jungle creeps, and now its just a prowl activator and does little dmg, thus the fantasy of having traps got removed.

Her cougar form has weird interactions like how she is not able to pounce ontop of herself when fighting enemy's which fucks her cooldown refund mechanic up or how her cougar q gets bonus damage, her W gets a cooldown refund but her e doesnt have anything which makes it really unsatisfying to use.

Winrate =/= Fun, she might have a decent winrate but that doesnt mean she feels good and is fun to play, she's in the same boat as Leblanc was pre revert. Heck her winrate went up by 3% but her playrate didnt increase AT ALL. Her strenghs and weaknesses dont make any sense at all. I just want Nidalee's kit to give me the fantasy that im playing an amazonian goddess that turns into a sleek mobile hunter. I dont mind if her w/r drops a bit if her kit just actually makes sense for once.

I'm really passionate about Nidalee thats why it hurts 10x much that im getting punished because of players that could care less about her and her gameplay.

I hope that if you do agree to what I said that you could come over to the Nidalee subreddit so we and the few ACTUAL Nidalee mains that are left can tell you what we like and hopefully create a jungler that is both fun for its soloq players/mains and isnt oppresive in the pro scene.

At this point there's nothing to lose anymore, pro players dont pick her and she's situational in soloq.

Thanks everyone for reading.
