Please make nidalee lane playable again... I've waited sooo long for her to show back up. I get she aesthetically looks more like a jungler, and she has somewhat harder kit to balance around laning without breaking jungle, but man do i miss being able to play a mid game and pulling off some great snipping ganks.

P.S. bring elise back too

I agree with this. Nidalee, more than any other champion in the game's history, got nerfed into oblivion. All for being able to dominate three different roles... but five years without her even being viable in her one intended role is definitely long enough to pay for her past crimes.

But it would require another mini-rework. And can't be focused around the Q > jump mechanic. 'Cause if her Q is fast enough to abuse enemy mistakes in lane as well as it did before, then it would just be a repeat of that problem.

I honestly don't know what a mini rework for Nidalee would need to look like.

Bring back AD Nidalee as an option. They're scared of her spear being too powerful, but if it's used as a mark/gap closer tool they can make her a really well-balanced AD bruiser with a bit of an execute like season 2, the weak point being no CC.

Aesthetics should be completely irrelevant to balance changes. Bring back lane nidalee.
