Hunter's in League of Legends.

There are currently 6 Champions in league of legends that have a core design thematic in "Hunting." whether it be for the thrill of it, such as rengar, for evolution such as with Kha'Zix or for something much bigger(Kindred) these champion's all have this at their core in some way.

The issue i have though with this is, how do we make 6 champions who are designed to be hunter's, completely different from eachother. With Kindred, Rengar and Warwick i believe that's been done very well, Kha'zix and Rek'Sai(In her reworked state that's on the PBE) do this will to, each of them play completely differently and feel like actual hunter's but don't feel the same when you play them. That leaves Nidalee.

To me nidalee doesn't feel like "The Beastial Huntress", the only thing her kit that seems to have anything to do with this is her Passive, it's kind of cool that she get's a movement speed buff and all but her W at the moment seems useless, her other abilities don't really have much to do with being a hunter either. I don't know, it feels like her Thematic is kind of not there anymore and could probably be fleshed out with a Mini-Rework eventually, maybe something like Kindred or Rek'Sai's level of rework.

Not to mention that she(along with several on this list) were cursed with powerful kit's, making them near unplayable for an extended period of time due to excessive nerfs and Nidalee is definitely nearly unplayable right now. It would be nice to see her get some love(It's always breeding season for her that can't be healthy.) sometime and especially receive a mini-rework to fix her balance issues and hopefully put her back into her own thematic while also separating her from the rest that share it.

I would like to see more emphasis on the hunt passive like in conjunction with her cougar form. Maybe when used on a marked target her Cougar E could add a slight displace, not enough to be considered real CC (think interrupt vs silence), but enough for skilled players to stop dashes or slightly slow down fleeing targets. As of right now, all her Cougar E is is just pure, boring damage, with no interesting or skillful about it, and I would be very happy to see it get a change to interact with the hunt even if it meant giving up some damage. Also I agree; her traps don't feel very impactful, but I think they should remain this way, outside of maybe a slight number buff, or maybe adding the resist shred back to them. They're very useful for scouting areas when you don't have a ward, and are best used in choke points where an enemy would have to walk to enter/leave your jungle, giving you vision of you to alert you of their presence. They absolutely live up to the "hunter" theme in that regard, as a the huntress would want to have knowledge of her hunting grounds.
