Is Nidalee still too strong?

I know, I know, everyone is all for the new tank meta where Nidalee jungle can't thrive but may I remind everyone that she's stupidly strong outside of the jungle as well.

She has: Heal Major Poke dmg free abilities with no cool downs -one of which is an assassination - and another one is a gap closer that can bloody get refunded in no time

Not to mention her over wall safety, mobility and range make her have way too much for only 2 real weaknesses: Poor tank killer. Low wave clear outside of cougar form.

Anyone else still think the annoying cat deceivers some tweaks?

Just about the ONLY thing I would want to see changed on nidalee is the hunted debuff get consumed on first ability use that does damage to the opponent that is marked. This makes it so that she either gap closes with the hunted debuff OR does 33% increased damage, not both.

That being said, nidalee is very squishy and now that she has to lose distance to actually deal damage, she can be dealt with fairly easily. I don't think she is too strong; I think the style she plays is strong. But I don't think she is a problem champion anymore.

Very true but I feel that as compared to most other champions she has a great advantage when it comes to trade offs of strengths and weaknesses. She's almost a zed level in that regard IMO.

It depends on the play style honestly, but I agree she can be a bit strong with her scaling with this new tank meta.

... Cougar mama does not do well in any way against tanks. The tank meta is actually a bad thing for her, she can't burst them down and they offer peel for the squishy that she can burst.

It's time to stop complaining about Nidalee, invisible spears aside of course, but that's not a Nidalee specific issue.
