Nidalee pounce reset changes, we arn't all challenger players..
im not going to lie... i am pretty dismayed on the pounce reset changes on PBE for nid
as a silver player i have already had a VERY hard time adapting to the removal of the root on jungle mobs.. and i STILL cant come close to what i could before that change. now i understand nidalee overall win rate went up after that change, but that was because of the buff to her late game takedown
overall i know it is certainly POSSIBLE to do a full clear with the current nidalee (on live) but i am still having a VERY hard time with it. and i normally back after my 3rd camp.
the change that was done really made nidalee jungle lvl 1-4 much harder for player at lower elos like myself. and while i can adapt to it i am STILL trying to get back to where i was before the removal of the root.
and now i see the pounce reset nerf... now maybe at high level play this is needed, i don't know
but what i do know is that i haven't even been able to adapt to the LAST nerf to her early clear. now we already have another one?
nidalee has been my main since day one... i joined on nidalee free week in season 3.. i bought nid with IP before the end of that free week. and she has been my main ever since
i originally played her mid lane.. then top mid and support.. eventually i was forced to jungle with her because riot destroyed her other lanes in order to make her jungle viable but not "OP" in the jungle
now i understand nidalee is VERY strong at higher elos.
but i have been playing her for 3 years.. i know her mechanics inside and out..
now i can jungle with
and
(my other 2 junglers)
and do a full clear extremely easily
now on my main
i am having a VERY hard time doing a full clear as it is now and you put a nerf on PBE to make it HARDER?
i have been playing nidalee for 3 years and i am having a VERY hard time adapting to the jungle changes
i don't see how ANYONE in my elo or below could even attempt to try to learn nidalee with what you are doing to her.
she is frankly becoming too hard to do her early clear with.
a proper nerf should do what it is designed to do without having any other negative effects.
maybe your nerf is the right thing to do for higher elos.. but you need to realize what you are doing to lower level nidalee players. you cant just make it so unless i get a diamond player to guide me step by step though a clear that i can even fight the jungle without dying.
every nerf i see to nidalee makes significantly it harder and harder for lower level players to pick her, and yet it barely hurts her higher level play.
if she needs a nerf at higher level play.. then so be it.. but PLEASE find a way to do it without making it so i cant even play my favorite champion anymore becuase i don't have at APM and positioning of a diamond player.
is a great example of this. She is only successful in challenger and LCS. You would think they would be able to balance champions in a way where they didn't hurt their ease of access yet nerfed their actual power.
