nid traps are worthless

i have made this post before but I'm making it again. while i dont disagree that nidalee jungle trap damage reduction was a bad idea. i DO belive that the current state of traps is unplayable.

before the trap nerf traps were capped at 150 damage vs monsters

i really don't see how hard it would have been to lower that to 50 at lvl 1 traps, that's all you needed to do to fix her.

so why is nidalee current state of traps bad?

traps right now deal 40 damage over 3 seconds.

not only are level 1 traps weaker than any AUTO ATTACK in the game.

even with 800 ap lvl 5 traps on a lvl 18 nid, traps will do a max of 360 damage vs players.

so what does this mean? it means every time i place a trap for scouting thier SO weak my lane opponent PURPOSELY steps on them to trip it so i can't use them as a mini ward.

i had a game as support nidalee and i placed about 5 traps in bot lane.. thier lenoa put up her shield and purposely stepped on all 5 of them and it didnt even break her sheild.

now im sorry roit.. this really isnt acceptable. trap are ABSOLUTELY worthless.

PLEASE for the love of god revert her trap change and just cap the damage vs jungle mobs at 50 or 40 or ZERO i don't care... as long as their not 100% useless vs players like they are now

Leona doesn't have a shield like Karma's or Janna's. She just boosts her armor and mr, similarly to Annie. ^^

I dont even play Nidalee so excuse me... but I really REAAALLY don't give a fuq about how good or bad her traps are I think I'd be too busy tossing spears a pouncing lil kids :l

so not only is complaining bout her traps stupid you're complaining about the trap's DAMAGE??? what the actual fk, no nid ever placed traps down for fking damage you just hope some sucker alks into a bush, steps on your traps and now you got vision AND hunt proc on them theyre as good as dead now!

They provide vision, too. It is a very useful tool for jungle Nidalee.

Traps are for vision, LIGHT damage, and hunted debuff which powers up her entire cougar kit.

dealing less than 1 auto attack worth of damage is a little bit worse than "light" the 10% hp was "light damage" 40 damage might as well be zero for all it the good it does

and traps don't do shit for vision because like i pointed out your lane opponent will PURPOSELY step on them to deny you that vision.

Then friggin jump on them with your cougar form. If the step on the traps, they just put Hunted on themselves, so you take advantage of it.

you clearly dont play nidalee. you can't always just jump in like an idoit just becuase hunt is triggered. the reaosn while most nidalee jump in after a spear is because a spear at least lowered their hp enough to make a trade worth while. if all they did is step on a trap unless thier at less than 30% hp your not going to get a kill and will likely take more damage than you did to them.
