this is how NOT to change a champion

TLDR: You do NOT going to take away a balanced champs ability to do three roles so you can "balance" then in ONE (a forth) new role.

/TLDR

You take a champ that has been unchanged for 7 months., a champ that is a very viable pick in both mid and top and a not that great but ok as support. you take those three roles and you go "lets give that champ jungle a forth role". and you do this is a way that does not change thier damage to players AT ALL. and you make them a viable.. even contested pick in their new 4th role as jungle.

and guess what that champ turns out to be GOOD in the jungle.

now up until this point.. EVERYTHING here is perfect....

riot did everything perfect!!!

until this next step.

you release a patch the introduces a bug that affects said champion's primary skill. you nerf said champ on thier weakest skill (Not the one affected by the bug) becuase the bug makes them op. you nerf said champ again in thier weakest aspect (thier hp, again no way affected by the bug) you intoduce cinderhulk which makes a tank meta which counters said champ competently (this loweres thier ban rate from 80% to 10%, somEthing your NERFS did NOT do) said champ stays at 10% ban rate and then you just now make a PBE nerf to said champ on thier ONLY damaging skill in human form.

meanwhile you STILL haven't fixed the bug that made them op i the first place

now if you haven't guessed by now the champ im talking about isNidalee and the invisible spears bug

so this is what u dont do.. you DON'T take a balanced champ with THREE viable roles (ok maybe you cant count support so 2) but still... you dont have them a 4th role and them DESTROY ALL of thier other roles to make it so the 4th role wont even be a contested pick anymore.

nidalee was in a PERFECT spot. before she was allowed to jungle WHY did you change her???

PLEASE just revert her to the pre-procing hunted on jungle patch.

and dont get me wrong i LOVE the you can proc hunted on jungle mobs. and i even like jungling with nid.. but it is NOT, nor will it ever be worth losing THREE other roles to make it so she can jungle. and if she IS going to lose 3 other roles so she can jungle. she better damn well be the best freaking jungler out there. you do NOT going to take away a balanced champs ability to do three roles so you can "balance" then in ONE role.

Yeah, Delete her!

Oh, was that not your point, whoops, but that's my answer to all nidalee threads.

Like, this champion is so facestomp. You can Q from short-mid range, change into cougar and chunk half their health at level 4. And it's all super easy to do, she has no mana costs in cougar form after all. She can literally perform anywhere, including ADC, because your AD scalings are fucking ridiculous too!

Her ad scalings aren't op -_- she is ccáble and killable

Wow! Almost like every other champion in the game.

And her one AD scaling is 2.5AD on a short execute cooldown.

2.5 x her ad on an ability would be tied with the highest ratio in the game ( i believe up there with nunu.)

And nunu's is a channel that's interrupted and easy to get out of if you aren't in the middle.

「 MINIMUM MAGIC DAMAGE: 4 / 20 / 50 / 90 (+ 75% AD) (+ 36% AP) 」 - nidalee q (Cougar) not 2.5 ad ratio

Who the hell is going to Q somebody at full health tbh.

So it isnt a 2.5 ad ratio - you need to know that.
