Nidalee

MetaGeek·Oct 16, 2019·2 votes·997 views

I'm not here to complain per say this time but ask an earnest question, am I the only one that feels like Nidalee is just a worse Elise that requires a lot more skill at the same time?

Like if Nid missed her spear she might as well run but if Elise misses her stun she can still feasibly go in with neurotoxin and her spidering and secure the kill with her spider kit. Or am I just thinking about Nidalee all wrong.

I like playing nid I really do but I feel every other jung can out do her for less effort honestly.

Maybe a mini rework, but her kit just really relies on her numbers and the rest of the game state. Mobility to dodge spears more quickly screws her, which they've been sticking in the game for a while. I say this as someone who made their largest climb in this game (not on this account) being a Nid main in S6. She's got a lot less of the handholding pieces that other assassins have (easy dodges/escapes) and instead has some utility with traps and healing.

Trust me I hope my girl is popular once again at some point, but I don't want a full rework on her.

I'm inclined to agree, I think her spear should move a bit faster, that would fix a lot of her problems IMO. I say this considering there are 5,002,431 dashes in this game.

It's hard for me to say I want her spear to move faster because the easy to dodge high damage slow moving spear has always been what she's known for, but at this point with this much mobility being added (movement speed in jungle when you kill cloud drake coming in S10) maybe that's what she needs.

Nidalee is extremely hard to pull off, you need complete jungle and game understanding to be able to play her.

Don't bother if you are not Diamond 1+ player already if you want to climb.

Just pick something else if your intention is climbing, being useful and carrying your team.

But if you wanna play 4FUN then go for it, she is similar to Elise in some ways, but also different in many other ways

yeah I don't really climb but I do feel like she needs a rework as much as kayle did
