Nidalee was practically unplayable and Lee is a bit too strong. Not exactly a minor difference.

And yet Nidalee is the most nerfed champion in the game and is still garbage.

I just don't like fighting nidalee. no matter what, she always somehow manages to get fed when I play.

She's literally one of the worst junglers right now. The only worse junglers are champions that weren't even designed to be taken jungle, like Viktor.

Spice POWAH1 votes

Yeah, the last 2 times I saw her she was in mid.

Nidalee is in the gutter for most people especially with the jungle changes.

That Riot has a tendency to buff before they nerf. (I think) Makes sense to me with the damage creep that has happened this past year.

I guess if you call that 5+ AD a buff I guess so. What hurt Nidalee the most was strength of the ages being removed. Strength of the ages covered up a lot of her weakness and made her a godlike jungler. Even after the nerfs to cougar form spells she still felt strong in the old jungle with strength of the ages.

5 base ad for a jungle clear or in lane harass is massive, please don't look at a small number and not think of what it really does.

It still doesn't put her in a good spot, but nidalee doesn't need to be in a good spot anyways.

Expect it really did not do all that much and for you to want a champion to be trash tier Nidalee or not is not the best way to go about things. I don't think any champion winrate should be dropping to 40%

Depárt1 votes

When Nidalee was broken beyond belief and extremely oppressive in high elo she had a 45% winrate.

Her winrate has to stay low for her to be balanced, the champ is not healthy when even remotely meta.

Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votes

But Shaco and Vi having a 54% winrate is more healthy right?

Depárt1 votes

Never said or implied that those junglers weren't too strong, the entire point of my statement is Nidalee has to sit at a really low winrate otherwise she's oppressive at high levels of play.
