if this is really what youre doing to nidalee she'll be USELESS. Nidalee desperately relied on her w reset on hunted targets, her aspect of the cougar auto resets, and her bushwhack trap.. WTF is it supposed to do now? vision only when someone walks on it? its fucking useless and riot needs to keep nidalee the way she is right now. that half a second slow is sooofucking useless aswell.. youre going to lose alot of people who enjoyed nidalee, riot.
SwiftKitten883 votesum the changes on todays PBE are horrible yes
but we got a sneak preview on tomorrow PBE update https://twitter.com/ricklessabandon/status/753804774668021761
pretty much all the "nerfs" have been reverted except the attack attack reset on R
which is actually REALLY good
becuase even with these buffs without the auto reset on R her higher elo clear speed is goign to drop and becuase low elos dont use the auto reset her clear speed is going to get better.
which based on her 52% high elo winrate and her 43% low elo winrate. is EXACTLY what needs to happen
OneSpearOneKill1 votesim 'low elo' and i use the auto reset ALOT. most people dont know this but her auto resets are mostly used to take down wards. after they go invisible.
Zero Shingetsu2 votesNonsense. Nidalee will always have very important uses.
TonsOfGains1 votesI'm no Nidalee player by any extent but I've seen my fair share. Her winrate as well as personally seeing friends do absurdly well with her should attest to nerfs. A quick scan over the actual notes shows that she's actually getting quite a few buffs that largely outweigh any of the nerfs.
You specifically mentioned the half second slow being useless. I can see where that's coming from if you look at it strictly independently. IMO the slow is gonna have a tremendous impact because it basically solves the issue of being able to simply outrun her combo. Now only a flash or other blink would allow you to escape her entire combo. More importantly, this ensures more kills/assists that now fully reset pounce. Then factor in that all those pounces within 5 seconds or less of each other will cause the 0.5 second slows to add up and behave much like Ashe's short passive slow.

nidalee is really not that great. I would say she is a tier 2 balanced pick unless played by someone that mains her
OneSpearOneKill1 votes5 seconds is not low cd lol. they wouldnt be able to get away from nidalee now because her hunted reset went to a 2.6 reset or something
