"We nerfed Nidalee because experienced players were doing well with her"

Holy shit.

nidalee hasnt recieved any significant nerfs in a very long time. that last nerf this past patch was hardly a "nerf" shes still broken as fuck. Ryze as well

More like she got small nerfs for being ridiculously broken and easy and now she still is ridiculously easy and broken.

experienced nidalee player still have almost 59% winrate. which is ok tbh you get experience with a champion for a reason. get good at them.
