Hey Rep. I'm just gonna jump right in here. As i reviewed over your megathread, i didn't see too many questions asked and answered about nidalee (maybe one or two) so I'm gonna throw some q's at you. How do you feel about nidalee as she relates to her current balance state, and are there any buffs/nerfs/updates that you might be planning to make with her in the future? Personally i think her hunt mechanic is very interesting and thematically fitting to her, but at the moment it feels like her damage is significantly lackluster without a hunted target. In your opinion, how do you feel about her damage output without a hunted target vs with? on a side note I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new challenger nidalee skin coming up. Thanks in advance

I think she's too snowball dependent at the moment, but I can't say I have specific plans to address it until I see a bit of how her performance goes in the early season before planning changes.

Mixed feelings, really. On the one hand, I like that she gives clear indicators to opponents as to how to beat her (don't get Hunted). On the other, I think that it can also lead to her being one-dimensional. This concern could possibly be addressed by adjustments to Bushwhack to make it more useful in Hunting.

on a side note I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new challenger nidalee skin coming up.

Pretty excited for the skin. I always like it when a champion I've worked on gets a skin, not only because they seem to just keep getting better and better, but also because it means I'm likely to see more games with the champion in it, and I like spying on my people playing my work.
