a question about nidalee traps

the most recent nerf to nidalee traps was"according to roit" to nerf her jungle clear speed.

so just to be clear.. her traps were already capped at 150 damage vs monsters.

so instead of lowering the cap vs monsters.

you guys decide to nerf the % healh do that her traps deal 360 damage vs players with 800 ap. and her jungle clear speed is unaffected am i missing somthing???

is it REALLY to hard to lower the cap from 150 damage to monster's to 50 damage?

the enemy team already had to be a complete idiot to walk in a trap now they dont even do DAMAGE.

please change nidalee trap back to % health and nerf the damage vs monsters. to 50. or 40 or ZERO i dont care. i don't care about her clear speed!!!

i care that instead of dealing 1.5k damage vs a 5k health sej (which is basically 2 auto attacks from my adc).. who is stupid enough to walk on a trap, I'm dealing like 200.

i dont EVER recall ANYONE complaining about how nids traps were op vs players.

becuase frankly all traps do right now is provide vision because unless you have TEN THOUSAND AP. traps are not going to deal any damage to players

Personally, I'm glad the %health is gone. Mainly because I play big, bulky tanks usually whom are absolutely DEVASTATED by those god damn traps. Especially before they get their MR. They're, quite frankly, just a pain to deal with.

... As for Riot's justification for the nerf, lowering Nidalee's clear speed... Well, it did actually work. Her earlier clears are indeed slower, and as a side effect the traps are also less obnoxious to deal with. I'd say this was a good call on Riot's part. And, really, Nidalee had more than enough damage to begin with.

This is my opinion though, and I got kinda sick of seeing Nidalees every game with her absolutely ridiculous amount of damage both at long and at short range. I may be a tad bit biased, but this is what I think and I will stick with it.

People have complained about Nidalee since she was released and will continue to complain about her til the game shuts down (with about 100 other champions).

As someone who jungles Nid it was a nerf to her early clear speed, which makes her crap early clears even crappier. Honestly if they want to nerf her more, take away the AS steroid or lower how much she heals others for (see taric or Ali for that one)

yeah they complained about her but i really don't think that "trap damage vs players" was one of the biggest complaints, or even on the list for that matter.

i wouldn't be so annoyed if they said they were trying to nerf her damage vs players. I'm annoyed because they CLEARLY said this was intended to be a nerf to her clear speed, and instead it was a "slight nerf" to her clear speed and COMPLETELY GUT her trap damage vs players.

if they wanted to nerf her damage vs jungle mobs it was a simple as lowering the cap from 150 vs monsters to 50. that's all it would have taken. and i would be perfectly fine with that. instead they totally gut her trap damage vs players

No, trust me, if it had ANYTHING to do with nidalee, it got complained about.

Seriously, I've seen complaint posts about her AA range in cougar form saying it needed to be reduced. Traps are one of the more uncommon things granted, but it does get the occasional whine post.

trap damage vs players was a HUGE issue in s3/ into to s4.

Her traps use to come with a mr shred, which made her awful to play against, and the spear use to be 3x its width.
