If you removed this, she'd need huge base stat buffs to compensate.

Although this is the reason why her skillfloor is high.

yeah she would need a full revert to 4.17-5.1 you know back when she was BALANCED... in LANE (although i wouldn't mind keeping the 7.2 traps) because most jungle caps don't dodge spears, or have minions blocking them.

when nidalee in in lane.. you ALWAYS know where she is... so you ALWAYS know where the spear is going to come from. (assuming you are properly warding) nidalee was designed to be in lane. when all of a sudden she appears from a bush and flanks you with her skillshot. it is harder to counterplay her if the nid is good

If they removed this she would need significant buffs to her base damage for her to be able to clear. But if they gave her base damage buffs she would be too strong against champions.

One idea would be to nerf her base damage but buff all cougar abilities against marked targets. This would slow down her clear because she wouldn't be able to kill the neutral minions so quickly.

Not to say this is a good idea because
