I think Nidalee should be reverted, due to Kai'sa release

Kai'sa seems to have the power that Nidalee lost with the Nid nerf. The reason Nidalee was nerfed was because people were tired of eating a spear from out of the darkness. But now Kai'sa has been released, and if built correctly, her W can one shot someone in mid lane, from the dragon pit! I've seen it. Nidalee feels weaker and weaker as the game progresses later and later and seems to fall off in damage in the mid to late game. I think Nidalee should be reverted or buffed, due to the massive change League has undergone, in order to balance out Nidalee's damage with the new system and champions. Maybe give her an AP scaling, or just increase her overall damage, seeing as how the Q's can be hard to hit, especially since you need to aim to hit them at a longer range. Kai'sa's W can 100 to 0 someone at any range, and with a very fed full build Nid's Q you get about 2/3 the health at max range. (on a squishy with no MR of course)

I don't know about all that reverting and stuff, but Nidalee definitely needs some work. I haven't seen Kai'Sa one shot nobody, but for the range it does too much damage.

Regarding Kai'sa W 1 shot, it could only happen if the enemy has enough stacks of her passive on them for her W to actually pop it.

W damage: 20 / 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 (+ 150% AD) (+ 65% AP) - does that look like a 1 shot to you?

If it pops her passive (evolved W and 2 allied CC applications) then she gets 15% - 20% (based on level) (+ 2.5% per 100 AP) of their missing health from her passive

so maybe AP Kai'sa could 1 shot somebody under that specific circumstance.

idk though. At 600 AP champ level level 16 her passive does 30% of missing health. So then the W itself would have to do almost 80% of their health. I guess maybe considering Luden's proc and if she has even more than 600 AP (completely possible with Spellbinder activated at full build) but I'm not gonna do the math. It's such a specific edge case it doesn't matter.

Honestly AP nid is what got me hooked on this game. Soon Riot nerfed her, then changed her with the release of Elise since Elise came able to change forms at level 1, then she's been messed with again & again to where she's more AD then anything and focused in the jungle & not even all that great at it tbh. I switched to Lux for the last idk...6 years? Lux has received indirect nerfs through the removal of mana potions, the changing of items, the changing of item costs, the changing of useful build paths for her due to item cost & build route changes, etc. Lux feels underpowered, unless her jungler really cares about her. I really wish they'd revert nidalee back to 1.0, or even 2.0 at the latest & bring back AP spear chucking nidalee <#|===Q(^.^Q)===o I mean now you've got so many champs with high mobility, able to jump walls, bounce off walls, able to block everything with a wind wall, etc. Nid needs a revert & then her spears need to travel past minions. Yes it wouldn't be able to help secure the kill on the cannon minions, but it woulid be worth the trade.
