Ok so there was a rumor about how nidalee's spears were nerfed because she was throwing them from the fog of war? if that's the case than why are all these new champs having abilites where they can do that? etc

I mean Swain isn’t a line skillshot, and pretty easy to dodge.

Kaisa ’s doesn’t do damage unless she builds AP, but even so your point still stands

Zoe ........ oh yeah Riot needs to do something about that one.

thing is it covers an area and he can do it to people who may be paying attention to shop when they're backed behind tower. It'd be their fault if they die though.

Nidalee's problem wasn't that she had nuke skillshots; lots of champions have those, some with much more range.

Her problem was having nukes on top of having top class mobility and a strong heal.

Exactly this, as a champ with more abilities than normal it also didn't make sense to have so much power on a singe spell that encouraged her to stay at max range. Her changes helped spread out her strengths to encourage more play around hitting a spear/trap and then diving as cougar.

Additionally, before her update she had a 250% dmg amp from range, and higher base and scaling so she really only needed to hit spears and heal if she got poked. Her kit didn't play off of itself, since she only needed spear to fight - cougar was just mobility and jungle clear. Similarly to Zoe wanting to combo Q>R>Q alongside her E, Nidalee's kit now plays off itself by encouraging landing a spear and using Cougar to finish off opponents.

but she is actually forced to have a good team if not everything falls apart right now she is more high risk and low reward when other champs that get high risk high reward or the oppesite like certain french woman Leblanc

Oh yeah, she isn't perfect and could probably (definitely) use a buff. However, from a design standpoint I feel she is a definitively better champion due to the changes she received.

Having her power spread across her abilities makes for more compelling gameplay and more room for counterplay. She should get a buff, but it shouldn't be a simple damage or range buff on human Q.
