We all know nidalee is op...... Stop denying it.

So riot has several champions who they refuse to do anything about. I preset to you riots wifus; Nidalee, vi, and vayne.

Vi is too much of a bruiser with armor shred, gap closer, shield, and a charge ult that is literally impossible to cancel. Her ability to survive is ridiculous, and I personally (with many others in the community) thinks that if she doesn't build tank and a decent amount at that, she should be squishy.

Vayne is a strong ADC, and I'm okay with that. But her true damage should be either changed to magic damage, or be changed to current health instead of max health.

Nidalee is one of the most vicious "assassins" in the game. She can poke for huge damage [with a really easy to hit skillshot(I swear it is)] Apart from the long range damage, she is equally as deadly in short range. Also, if she exhausts her mana in a team fight, she can run away for free. I want someone to try to tell me that having a manaless engage with high damage, AND a free escape is balanced. If they want her to be manaless double all of her cool-downs then maybe we can talk.

That said, riot has too many wifus, and they need to break up, and move on. Note, if champions need to be removed as the only option to fix them, then so be it. Jax was removed for this very reason. (Yes, he's been heavily nerfed, as nid should be.)

If you don't know what a wifu is; A wifu is a virtual wife which exists only online. Most people who have a wifu show them the utmost respect, and reverence. (This is what happens when your culture says you have no time for a real wife.)

I could quote you live nerfs PBE nerfs and Red posts, but it sounds like you've made up your mind.

Javelin Toss is objectively among the most difficult skill shots to land. If that is an easily landed skill shot then there is not a single difficult to land one in the game.

Difficulty doesn't mean much when a single spear can either kill you or take you out of a teamfight. Means even less when it is spam-able. To be perfectly honest you can deny her being overpowered and it means little to me when i always ban her and she has 59% chance of getting banned when i cant.

Do you know how much that 'single spear' costs in mana?

I'm not denying her being overpowered. I was just arguing against the false claim that her spear is easy to hit. It's not, no matter how skilled you are. It's thinner than most skill shots and slower moving than most too.

I don't care if you find her overpowered, I just don't like people making up fake reasons to claim she is. Javelin Toss isn't easy to hit, simple as that.

so becuase nidalee traps now root jungle mobs she is op? or has there been any other change to nid in the past 5 months im missing.

what are you the lorax of the jungle mobs?

do u speak for the jungle mobs? are they complain they cant run from nid?

becuase nidalee gamage vs players has been the same for the past FIVE MONTHS. the first 4 of which no one complained about her damage.

so unless you either a jungle mob or, (like the OP) your represent the jungle mobs. then if you didnt make your post saying she is op 5 months ago when she is in a much weaker state now.. (hence the huge nerf to traps vs players).

you go try out nid and you try to last a spear on someone who actaulyl KNOWS how to dodge and doesn't stand there like an idoit.

nidalee spear is the probably hardest skillshot to land in the game.

nidalee has about 20+counters in the game. most of which are commonly picked

Ahri Akali Riven Zed Olaf Renekton Irelia Fiora Darius Chogath Garen Jayce Pantheon Poppy Sejuani XinZhao Diana Nocturne Teemo Volibear Udyr

those are a few of the champs that counter nidalee

my god PICK ONE..

Similar ult that is also impossible to cancel, deals only slightly less damage but much more cc: Nautilus

Now, I'm not going to deny Vi is a pretty strong bruiser, but I will hand out a free tip to manage her a little better. Her ult can be cancelled by becoming untargetable, which puts her ultimate on cooldown (she can also be killed during her ult, as she's immune to cc but not damage, but most champions can be killed during their ult so it really isn't worth mentioning). Master Yi's alpha strike, zhonyas, and I believe Shaco and Twitch going invisible can do it as well.

I realize I touched but a few of the most op champs in the league, but those are some of the champions who can carry like hell as of late. (diana is included, but they just need to remove her ult's reset to balance her)
