can we talk about nid's traps?

whether or not nid needed to trap nerf in the jungle idk, but this was gone about all the wrong way. according to riot this nerf to her traps was SPECIFICALLY done to nerf her jungle.

they removed the 10% hp and made traps deal 40 damage with a .2 ratio.

now even ignoreing how bad of state nids traps are in this was done the wrong way... nid's traps already had a cap of 150 vs monsters all that needed to be done was to lower it to 50 and it would have fixed the issue.

that is how i suggest we fix traps. revert them back and lower the damage cap vs monsters. this would keep jungle the same way it is now and woudl allow traps to be useful vs players.

becuase if you look at the numbers. traps deal 40. now at lvl 1 this is abysmally weak. but at lvl 14 when nidalee gets her second lvl of traps... YES level 14. nid never get a second level of traps until then this gets buffed to 80 damage.

even at max level traps damage is utterly abysmal. and we are talking traps here... they can see them they take time to arm.. and people dont need to step on them. can i aleast get my 10% damage back so they can have SOME use?

becuaase they dont provide any vision at all when your opponents steps on them and laughs as he heals off the damage in 5 seconds

nidalee BEFORE her rework, did 80 flat damage and had armor and magic pen, now they deal HALF that and don't get a second ability.

and dont say "they proc hunted" thats the same as providing vision like the did before. unless they are at less than 200 hp and and within pounce range all the do is provide vision.. which they dont even do now becuase people step on them on purpose becuase the damage is pitiful

I'm all for buffing her traps if they nerf her damn spear.

Yeah the .2 ratio makes her traps absurdly useless but you have to keep in mind her cat form damage.

they didnt change her kitty form damage. and im not asking for much, i just want them to be USEFUL. nobody on the planet complained that the damage from nids traps was op unless they were stacking like 6 warmogs. and even then who cares even at lvl 5 traps when nid is 18 traps could do a max of around 25% hp

they STILL need to STEP ON THEM and even if they did step on 1 if you had enough hp for a trap to deal any decent amount of damage there is no way nid can burst you down anyways.

right now traps are completely worthless and i feel it's not too much to ask to change it back to how it was for like 10 months where they revived no complaints at all

I agree that they're worthless but it's hard for them to buff them without overpowering Nidalee once again. If the traps are fixed, something else needs to be toned down. But yes, I 100% agree they're a waste of an ability. Rito seems to have an especially hard time balancing champions with multiple forms. Jayce Elise Nidalee and Karma have been tweaked so many times and could still use attention.

im not asking for a "buff" im asking for them to accomplish the exact some thing in the jungle but reverting to the 10% hp by lowering the previous cap of 150 damage on monsters to 50...

they will keep nid's jungle the same (which although i never thought she was an issue there is no change form its current state) and it would make her traps vs players how they used to be.. which is BAD but having at least SOME use.

and im not asking them to IMPLEMENT a damage cap on traps vs monsters. traps ALREADY HAD a cap of 150 vs monsters.. ALL they had to do was LOWER it. that's all i'm asking.

and honestly even when nid was "op" in the jungle she still wasn't half as good as the cinderhulk junglers released after her.

do people really hate nid SOO much that even when it's blatantly obvious her skill is completely worthless they refuse to acknowledge it? even with an perfectly balanced alternative is given?

you people are unbeliveable...
