HOLY SH*T GUYS I FIGURED OUT HOW TO BALANCE NIDALEE

Hear me out on this. Don't make her Cougar form Q be an execution that works on top of on-hit effects, don't let her pounce work twice on marked enemies, and make her spears do reasonable damage or have a longer cooldown! Boom, fixed.

mana cost to all her spell LIKE THE DAMN JAYCE

That really doesn't fix her. It kinda just postpones the problem.

Swain has to wait till 6 to change forms since he can actually kill without his ult. Nid literally has one damaging ability (Bushwacker does S**T) in human form.

We could always make her charge up her spear like Xerath, if people complain about it so much.

Mana-costs on her cougar form spells with a rebalance of the costs of her human form would really tone down the availability of her full combo as well as her ridiculous mobility. I'd say that fixes her more oppressive issues in lane without touching her numbers.

Players: "Nidalees Q in cat form is a problem" Riot: "Hmm, lets nerf traps, they are so deadly!"

Had a ARAM fight. threw few spears then changed into cat. 10 kills with just her cat combo. As my 1st serious item bought lich bane 17 kills. We still lost cause we didn't had CC to shut down Yi. But seriously score 23 kills (21~from just her cat).. Balanced as f*ck
