My AD Nidalee has been tossed to the wayside

Poor , she never gets a break.

I loved playing her back in the day as a tanky/hybrid (but with mostly ad) top laner. Honestly, that was the most I've ever enjoyed playing any champion. As unconventional as it was at the time (v1.0.0.152), iceborn gauntlet was just released. But ever since then, I've only seen nerf after nerf, for me to slowly get pushed out of any other option for her, other than going AP.

She used to be the champion that had a viable role both as AD or AP. I miss it. Here's a brief history of her changes since S3.

-nerf -nerf -nerf -nerf

+3 to base armor -REWORK -nerf -nerf -nerf -nerf

I would like to see the return of a her being a viable AD pick. Instead of focusing on purely an AP outlook of her. Please giver her some attention Riot.

Downvoted when you said you enjoy playing AD nidalee

News flash, nobody thought that was fun to play against except Nidalee mains

Thank you for your opinion. I would've appreciated some constructive criticism, but this is the League of Legends community. Would you mind telling me, why she was no fun to play against? I'm pretty serious about wanting AD nidalee back, as this could help it be restored.

You can't interact with her

She autoattacks you from range 24/7 and places traps in bushes so you can't even sit in them to farm safely

She heals the damage you do manage to get on her and also can outduel a lot of champions in melee range when her cougar form is overtuned as it has been in the past

Yes, she did have a strong laning phase. And there weren't many champions that could hold their own against her, pretty much all melee. But, she was countered heavily by ranged and had a weak late game. This was a long time ago though. In S4 her ad form was so lacking, it was impossible not to build mainly AP and do well.

They lowered her autoattack range not too long ago. But, with a few buff to the ad side, don't you think she could be not so bad to play against now days? We do have the ever so popular Gnar , who would be strong against her.

Although you may not have thought it was very fun to play with, against, or as, this is a very valid point. This person obviously has a play style different from yours and he/she is trying to relay to riot that they are ignoring some champions that shouldn't just be ignored, but if they don't ignore them all they do is nerf them because the community cries and complains about them because they don't know how to counter the "OP" champs. Its the same situation with Master Yi when his AP was a viable pick.

I give up on the league community. I'm playing the wrong game, this community is too toxic. Nothing but trolls who only know downvotes and with nothing to say constructively. Unless a red post happens, I'm done with this thread.

After the rework I think she was actually completely viable AD top champ and I played that for a while and enjoyed it but honestly at this point I'm sad to say I can't really come up with a good enough reason to train so hard with her. She gives no real benefit for her team in terms of cc and in late game has so little potential to carry. It just breaks my heart that my favourite character is being so unnecessarily challenged and nerfed into the ground.
