~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clearing up EVERY misconception on Nidalee, from a Diamond player ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dalphy08··4 votes·2,628 views

To start. Everyone seems to hate the character and I don't get why. It's mostly based on inferiority complexes in addition to sexism. But nevermind that.

Nidalee's Q (the spear) is perfectly balanced. Many think it isn't, it only isn't when the skin of some of the Nidalees is in play; because the spear colour is a bit imbalancedly difficult to see. Other than that, it is very balanced because of many reasons you probably wouldn't understand if I typed here (AND ESPECIALLY...since the Width reduction in the update!)

Nidalee's Bushwack Trap IS unbalanced because of the fact that the 3D model for the graphic is smaller than the affection radius of it I believe. To those of you from nob town, it's meaning you'll take damage or whatever from it without actually clicking your character onto the graphic (stepping on it).

The Primal Surge (E) can be viewed as imbalanced because it heals too much if built correctly, but it isn't when you look at the other characters. In addition to the fact it remains too much of a health recovery when you're one of those abnormally good players at the game. Which thankfully, is a small list! So safe to say, it won't be a problem usually. No offense! xD

The ult of Nidalee used to be only aquireable at Level 6. That generally meant more back in the day as it gave her a reason to reach level 6 like the other characters. Ever since then, it HAS changed it a lot. But not in a way that makes her too imbalanced.

If anything, it's the change of her ult form's Abilities. They used to be purely Attack Damage-dependent, now they use AP too I think. And the mark thing on the opponent that speeds you up CAN be viewed as imbalanced; but again it's fun and only really useable when you are good at the game. As in when really good, you'll see that it CAN be too easy...but that's probably because the other player isn't using their character as well!

Hope that cleared it up!

You agree that people don't like Nidalee because of inferiority complexes and sexism?

Aatrox Herself2 votes

Yes. But she IS a balanced Champion, people just need to learn to dodge spears. Here Is how: Walk left or right out of the way dont keep running.

Then you're a scrub.

dalphy081 votes

How is that scrub-like? You need to get out more and learn how people work.

TomA3X5 votes

No, you need to get out. And realise that not everytime a female character / person / champion is topical whether it be for the better or the worse, is it sexism. Having that outlook is perhaps the most idiotic you can have, and is the best way of creating misogynists.

Oh, guess that makes the rest of my comment void then, glad you dealt with the rest of my argument.

No, I'm not dyslexic, but there probably is someone here who is, I'd appreciate it if you didn't make fun of dyslexia.

I think you have good points but seriously did you have to say

"To start. Everyone seems to hate the character and I don't get why. It's mostly based on inferiority complexes in addition to sexism. But nevermind that."

??

What in the actual fuck is that bull shit?

Your point on Nid is valid but you pulling that bull shit basically makes every not want to finish reading your long ass paragraph.

So dumb.

Nothing he does promotes useful discussion, or contributes positively in any way. He's just farming downvotes with clickbait for attention, and needs to be reported by us, so he can get permabanned by mods.

Every thread of mine has promoted useful discussion. You're just jealous you're garbage at the game and are angry that I stated the facts about how you're likely a sexist too and not yet a Diamond player. Your mentality is the reason you are where you are.

AND, not to mention that if you can even think of the legitimate idea of me being banned being a good thing let alone typing it, you are a psychopath.

Okay so first off, you're not Diamond. Nice try. Also, people don't hate specific champions only because they're female. That's ridiculous. People hate Nidalee because she has insane range and mobility, giving her really good safety and high burst damage. For some reasons, you're analyzing the each of Nidalee's abilities (except her cougar form, I guess, which is half her kit) which is not how you justify a champion being balanced. You have to look at her kit as a whole. Nidalee's Javelin Toss may not be easy to land, but the benefits you gain for hitting one out of her spears is too high. You get a large amount of damage, your passive bonuses and a 700 range targeted dash followed by an execute. Nidalee has the safety of a poke mage (and more with that free mobility and AP scaling heal) and the burst damage of an assassin. That is why people hate her.

If that is the first thing on your mind, not very intellectual now are we? HMMM?

You are not qualified to say what people do or not do. Especially on the subject of psychotic traits, like you yourself are exhibiting.

You do not know how to evaluate a champion's balance because you are not an experienced gamer. And clearly you do not know how to play the character either.

You mention your rank in the title, but it's incorrect and clearly an attempt to make your opinion seem more trustworthy, when in reality you're Bronze V so I figured I'd draw attention to that first. The problem with how you evaluated Nidalee is the fact that she has so much in her kit that you didn't even mention. You looked at half her kit and even called two of the three abilities unbalanced for really odd reasons.

You are not yet skilled enough to gauge what "half" of a character kit is.

If the E, W and Q after ulting are not mentioned beyond the amount they were. THEN, Einstein! It's called: balanced.

shalec1 votes

You call a free dash that resets on kill AND hitting a hunted target balanced? Her cougar form is half her kit, not sure how it isn't. Her assassin-like burst and mobility are in that form. It's key to her and the reason why she isn't balanced.

She's fine. Annoying? Yeah, I'd say. She always ruins my heroic charges because suddenly I'm missing 3/4ths of my health and now I need to back. But she's fine. Spear and execute. Despite all her tools, she's a one trick pony

A nidalee main diamond player? you are Gold at best in the league of YoloQ because that champion counter's lack of team co-oparation.

It counters it? Meaning it promotes team co-operation? Exactly.

I wonder what idiot could have rated your comment as positive. It must mean they are grouped into the category of noobs at the game just like you.
