@Meddler Nidalee

I found her clear to be pretty okay, it wasn't hard to clear Blue-Gromp-wolves but raptor's is impossible for her.

What's the point of her W now as well? It doesn't do anything except reveal someone for a very short time, i see no point in this ability anymore.

PS: Nidalee mains, any tips for playing her? I always seem to do horrible with her.

Edit: I think bushwack should be reworked or changed for several reasons. First, it originally rooted a target but nidalee used it like caitlynn uses hers so enemy can't get away and used it to clear the jungle so that was scrapped. In addition, it does damage but it does bleed magic damage over a large amount of time, why exactly though? How does that make sense for someone who does burst damage. Third, you don't gain much from having someone step on one, they don't last very long and overall this ability is completely useless to her.

Changes i'd look into making:

Bushwack

Cooldown: Same Mana: No Cost or VERY low cost, it makes no sense to cost as much mana as it does, it should cost 20 or 25 not 60.

Damage on initial trigger: Nidalee's trap should deal damage on the initial trigger instead of just over time, it's a crappy damage over time at that so it's basically useless for anything aside from vision and extra damage on her Q or W but even then those ratio's have dropped so much that it's pointless at times.

Damage over time: Changed to true damage, it makes no sense for a low damage over time ability to do magic damage, not only can you avoid it by popping a potion or cookie but if you have even the base resistances, it'll do absolutely nothing to you.

Root: It should be explored to giving this back to her on champions only but it would be very short root.

Finally, nidalee should be alerted to one of her traps being set off and they should last 3-5 minutes based on level instead of 2 minutes.

My last thought is her Hunt mark should last longer and then be consumed, it only last 4 seconds right now and that's not enough to do anything with when an enemy steps on her Bushwack, the enemy becomes unable to see again very quickly so if you place a bushwack anywhere like in baron pit, sure you'll know someones there but will you be able to get there in time to do something about it, probably not. The same could be said for catching enemies with it, 4 seconds of vision isn't enough to catch an enemy with unless your really invested in movement speed and you have A LOT of vision control outside of bushwack.

In my opinion the Hunt mark should last just a little longer maybe 6-8 seconds instead of 4.

please only play her in blind pick or bot game, she is off meta when there are far superior gankers or tank bruiser junglers

W marks people for the longer range pounce and bonus Q dmg.

Yeah but, exactly how often do you use the W how it was intended to be used? The most you use it for is peppering key area's with it for vision, occasionally you can get someone with it in a combo and get some extra damage but is that really worth it for the mana, cooldown, even leveling it up is pointless. It doesn't do anything usefull and is really a useless ability now.

they just need to revert her back to the way she was when she was a laner
