@ Riot Why was % hp on nid traps removed in the first place?

SwiftKitten88··1 votes·534 views

after nidalee's rework he traps did % hp.. 10% + 2% per lvl and .02% AP now this was capped at 200 damage vs minions and jungle mobs

when you let her jungle you changed the % hp into flat damage.

why question is WHY.

WHY didn't you just lower the PRE-EXISTING cap on jungle mobs from 200 to 40?

i cant for the life of me figure out why this wasn't done the change pretty much single handed removed her from every other lane and prevented her from doing anything BUT jungle. i love nid.. and i like to jungle, but what i loved about nidalee was i could go top, mid, support she could even jungle BEFORE the traps change. WHY did you nerf her traps like this when the exact some goal could have been accomplish by lowering the preexisting cap?

you just reworked caits traps and even THEY have better scaling, have double the base damage, root enemies, arn't triggered by minions. and have charged you can spam then down again once their proced.

you CAN'T leave nid traps the way they are now. thier worthless for anything but a lvl 1 jungle clear. why cant we have the % hp back?

@Riot i would still like a response.. its been over a year now and i still haven't got an answer as to WHY this change was done. if you not going to change it back can u at least do me the favor of telling my WHY your not doing it.

seriously whats with the downvotes.. I'm asking a simple question here.. i understand some of you may not likeNidalee but ask yourself

has there EVER been ANY situation where you were like.

you know nidalee is kinda strong but the thing that REALLY needs a nerf is those traps.. i mean... it's not the 6 second cooldown spear you dislike.. its not the empowered pounce you hate. its not that she has free waveclear.. what she needs is a nerf to is her TRAPS?

then tell me why this skill has to be useless... it was already BAD but at least when playing support nid you could try to keep them out of bushes becuase a Leona doesn't like losing 10% hp.

i understand traps deal 200 damage vs monsters at lvl 1 would be broken.. I'm not asking for that.. I'm asking for 40 damage cap vs monster (lowered form the original 200) and her old % hp back vs players.

I imagine it's to make her far less capable at fighting bulky champions, and to make the traps mostly a way to apply her mark.

nidalee could NEVER fight bulky champions... EVER even when she HAD the % hp traps.

i mean traps have a 2 second arming time.. they proc on minions so u cant put them in lane so your pretty much forced to put them in bushes to hope they enemy will walk over them.

bulky champs are nidalee's counter she cant do ANYTHING vs them.

the % hp at least have her SOME defense.. IF they were dumb enough to step on them.

its not like it a skill you can use to really do anything with.

even in a teamfight.. if you somehow managed to lay like 5 traps downs in a place where they wouldn't be stepped on by minions you will still have the have the enemy step on them... And its not like they have charges like cait traps do.. you cant spam them down. and you cant defend base along a turret entrance path with them because minions will trigger them.

all I'm asking for is that if someone is DUMB enough to STEP on a trap, that there be at least SOME consequence for that

that is what we are lacking right now..

ok people... when i say nid traps are useless.. other than for lvl 1 jungling (which can also be done effectively without them) i mean they are USELESS.

they CURRENTLY deal 40 damage +.2 AP until nid reaches lvl 14

which is arguable the weakest skill in the ENTIRE game

plus its on a skill that has to be STEPPED on my the enemy. and unlike cait traps, it doesn't root.. you dont have charges that you can respam all your traps down as soon as thier triggered you cant place them in minion waves to help defend towers becuase they will be triggered by minions

taking all that into account.. nids traps are the WEAKEST skill in the game that does damage and has no cc function.

so DON'T trying to tell me that i "am just biased" and i just want nid buffed needlessly.

its not like im asking alot.. it not like i want them to be OP i want them to be in the same state whey were during a 6 month peroid in season 4 where nid didnt get even a 10th of the hate she does now...

I'm asking for them to be USEFUL
THAT'S IT.
