Nidalee needs some looking into

Well ive been playing nidalee a lot recently and its become painfully clear that she has been nerfed out of viability to any team composition right now especially with the rise of the tank meta. Her spear in my opinion is entirely to easy to dodge these days i mean it was already hard enough to land before it ever got nerfed bc of the simple fact that you could hide behind creeps. As it stands now though in my opinion it just moves to slow people have too much time to move out of the way. I mean its as easy as side stepping an decent player can dodge the majority of experienced nid spears with ease. Now this wouldnt be a problem if nid landing her spears was not the absolutely most crucial part of playing her bc if you dont land a spear you dont get to engage plain and simple unless your balls fed and can cougar jump in and kill them with that combo alone which takes a lot of ap to be able to do.

This wouldnt be such a problem if the damage on them didnt get nerfed but it did so on top of having to be able to land the spears you generally especially in lane phase have to land even more just to be able to go in and burst down which is what she does. I dont know i think her spears should be able to go through creeps the amount of ways people have to escape a nid spear is just to much in my opinion, especially with the high mobility alot of champs have nowadays. Either make them able to go through creeps or increase their missile speed so they are harder to dodge bc with out landing a spear lets just be honest you are not engaging on anything unless you wanna risk getting burst down before you can escape just to put some damage on them. Most of you will say [oh you should learn how to land spears] that is far from a valid argument bc its pretty rare any player with a brain is going to give you very many opportunities to land a spear and if they do its very likely that they are going to dodge it bc it moves so slow they have plenty of time to react and simply side step out of it. Any honest player who plays nidalee and plays her well im sure can attest to the fact that it is very difficult to land her spears against any decent player that knows how to dodge. As i said before i dont know what should be done about it ive given my opinions about what could be done but id like to hear some other opinions. Just so i am clear on this do not post in here if you dont think this is a problem for nidalee I would like to keep this post constructive if you dont think nidalee spears need changed do not post.

Well when the theme of the kit is: long range mega nuke, execute them if they survive. There will be inherent issues in balancing.

LOL "hey guys let's talk about how this false accusation is correct in a public area where everyone is welcome to voice their opinion, but if you don't think my faulty argument is correct, go away and keep this constructive."

Exactly how you sound, agreed by everyone lol

Nid has been nerfed out of mid and top lane because she was buffed to be a jungler, as in her powers have been shifted towards that. As someone who always wanted to play her mid lane I hate that. Jungle Nid is very situational but viable.

jg nid is far from viable any jungler will counter jg the shit out of you and shut you down before you could do anything about it i guarantee you can it be played yes in norms it can but play that in ranked and see how far that gets you.

Nidalee isnt bad, nor unviable she is still viable mid, she is great jg.. you can invade alot of jglers very easily, you can get awesome ganks that do half there hp with one spear, nothing that bad. now hush my child.
