You thought playing against normal Nid was unfair and that she was broken? Well have fun dodging invisible spears.

Holy shit how is she not disabled yet.

Why is it ALWAYS Nidalee with the invisible skill shots? I mean sure, every champion occasionally has the problem, but it seems to happen to Nidalee every other week.

It use to be a problem with every champion. Not sure if it still is. However not many champions have the singular ability to nuke you for 1/3-2/3 of your hp with one spell. Also most people don't have the range to launch shit from the fog of war reliable.

Actually most mages can nuke a squishy for a third of their health late game, if they are at similar build numbers and level.

Nid just has the ability to snipe you from the fog of war, though reliability is more about the player than the champ.

It's one of the narrowest skill shots in the game.

Depends on the champion. Most champions have to actually commit to do that kind of damage. Nid can hit you from the fog of war which is the problem because skill shots can be invisible when launched from the fog of war

Pretty sure the invisible missile is a bug that keeps springing up.

And you're right it depends on the champ, but I honestly can't think of a mage with a skill shot that can't chunk squishies.

The reason it shows up on nidalee the most is because of the range of her skill shot. That is what I was trying to get at. The range + the damage make it especially noticeable when the skill shot is invisible.

It's more obnoxious when Nidalee does it.

It really doesn't matter if the spears are invisible or not you're still gonna die eventually.

It is really absurd.

Could be worse, back in season 2 any ability used from a bush was invisible. That includes: veigar ults, caitlyn ults, ashe arrows, nid spears, brand ulti, all of corki abilities, caitlyn q, and well, use your imagination.

Cant dodge what you cant see :C

Dr. Mundo's Qs were doing that about a month ago. It was annoying, but not as bad as these nuke-tipped spears.

Kitten of Evil1 votes

Did they fix Mundo's cleavers? I only ask because I see Mundo so rarely in game that I haven't actually gotten the chance to test it out myself.

Raid Boss Morde1 votes

I'm pretty sure they did fix them. I've seen one Mundo since then.

Let's make them skill shots.

I don't play Jinx so not sure what her Zap is but it's that one. Guessing by the comments it's not Q but whenever she Zaps, sometimes it's invisible.

Same thing with Warden Nautilus. Literally invisible hook, at least he's not broken though

Pretty sure Desperato Cass's w is invisible too

ThePlasticSpork2 votes

Not like it matters since even if she does miss she's not punished for doing so

She gets to just try again like 3 seconds later

Ah, the i-Blitzcrank school of privileging players with the latest skin. Outplayed by Riot.

This is a problem on all of her skins smart one -_-

Including the classic

Underworld TF.

I physically can't see the cards. I have to try dodging based on the cast animation on him.

So glad it's an uncommon skin on a rarely played champion now.

Tayl2 votes

Been like this since the skin came out. Riot doesn't care

Sona Ping1 votes

Or maybe bug-fixing is, I don't know, rather technical and hard or something. Especially for a game that apparently had pretty bad code since the beginning.

It happen to me, and she has also a bug with minimap

This happened to me with normal Nidalee. D:

I could see the yellowish effect on the spear tip, but not the actual spear. I was still too pro at dodging (most of the time anyway).

Smart Kitty1 votes

I had the same problem playing against a mundo with invisible cleavers earlier, not that he's op though.

I'll start playing my Headhunter Nidalee skin over my Bewitching Nida one.

F*CK THE POLICE, I WILL START PLAYING NIDALEE.

Its been happening for a long time actually. lol

Xenohaz1 votes

I know I'm the weird one here, but when I play against nid with the headhunter skin, I usually have a better time dodging the spears (compared to fighting classic nid) because they contrast with the ground more.

Lt Cuddles1 votes

You have to either repair your client or reinstall the game, because sometimes the nidalee spear assets get corrupted, and need re-patching.
