nidalee and strength of the ages

in patch 6.22 strength of the ages will be removed..

now in patch 6.21 with your nerfs, has dropped from a 6.20 winrate of 52% rate in plat (and 45-49% bronze-gold) to a 45-46% win rate in all elos.

EDIT: as of day one 6.22, the only site i saw with her updated winrates have seen her winrate has dropped by another 4% across the board, still waiting on more sites to update to 6.22 data

Edit: day 3 of patch 6.22 , 44% winrate in plat+, going down to 42% in lower elos

now.. that is with strength of the ages...

when you look at nid stats who run thunderlords (which is what you are forcing her to go in 6.22)

on the current patch (6.21) nidalee with thunderlords is 42% in plat + (i cant find data below plat for this)

i hear all this talk about "bruisers being mad about 300 hp loss" my god.. your a bruiser.. you build tanky..

the reason nidalee goes Strength of ages is because she ISN'T tanky and she NEEDS hp to order to get 3 shot instead of getting 2 shot. but more specifically in order to NOT get executed during her first clear.

now i m starting to become very worried about her, because as a nidalee main since day one in patch 3.6, i love to play her. and i am REALLY excited to start playing ranked in season 7 (which i boycotted in season 6 because of dynamic que).

but.. if i am forced to go thunderlords... i don't see how nidalee is going to be viable. even if the 6.21 nerf are reverted i dont think that will be enough to make her viable with thunderlords, she just doesn't have the HP to not get executed on her first clear...

granted i haven't tried her on pbe because i don't have access, but i don't think the fruit plant is going to make up for this... and with my other jungler already trash tier, i am not going to have a jungler at all.

i do have other champs i can play and i can still climb.. but, i WAN'T to play my main... and with over 1000 games on her.. and having to change my jungle route 8 times in season 6 alone... i can't see of a way to jungle with her in 6.22 unless something is changed... its not ABOUT clear speed.. its about being able to HIT level 3, and 4 without getting executed; and that is something that even with lvl 7 mastery, 3 years of playing her , and over a thousand games, i am already having serious trouble doing without getting executed. i honestly don't know how she is going to be able to clear with the loss of hp... and not only that.. because she need to go thunderlords.. she loses ALL the defensive abilities in the resolve tree.

maybe someone on pbe can show a video of them clearing with her, but i just cant see it happening.

maybe the changes to the camps might make it possible.. but I'm getting really worried.
