I just love it when I'm up against a jungle Nidalee

And she throws spears out like an idiot, missing every single one. That is until she shoots one from the bush which is completely invisible and that is more than enough damage for her to jump at me and kill me before I even realize why I lost half my health out of nowhere.

Seriously Riot. This has been complained about since last year, along with mundo cleavers. How can this still be a thing?

It's a 'thing' because all projectiles are invisible in the fog of war. It's not uncommon for projectiles to be 'invisible' because they were thrown from the fog of war and you were against a wall or simply walking towards the missile. The missile tends to become visible when it enters your little circle of view. If you're moving towards it and it's moving towards you, any bit of delay can cause it to seem invisible because it didn't have time to register that the spear went into your line of view. Normally, you can still see the Aura around it still, which is why Nidalee's Head Hunter skin is the most common one to be 'invisible' because the aura on it is much smaller and harder to see.

Now, Mundo's cleaver is about the same reason, but it's a rather small object when you actually look at it. It's hard to see as is, so when it magically becomes visible, you usually don't realize it until it's in your face.

I should also mention players with over 100 ping will experience this EVEN MORE because they have a LARGE DELAY from the minor bit of lag you are experiencing and also makes it harder to react because you not only don't see it coming, but the delay prevents you from properly dodging it.

I've had Ekko's Q be completely invisible without being form the Fog of War.

Sound like a Graphical Error or Lag error. Not uncommon for a lag spike to happen and prevent you from realizing his Q was even thrown, but likely more of a graphical error. If it persists, I'd suggest running a repair on your game because it shows that you likely have a corrupted graphical file that's not properly registering the look of the game for you.

Unknown to most, the game's graphics are all on the person's computer, not on Riot's servers, which is why custom skins still exist. Any and all looks of your game are purely PC-based and constant graphical errors are part of your computer most of the time with lag causing delays. Mix delays with errors and you just learned why you shouldn't play League on the NA server on a Potato while you live in the North Eastern side of North America. lol.

WOW

Is this still being complained about?

This affects all projectiles in the game, not just Nidalee and Mundo
This only Affects A SMALL PORTION of people in the game
Just because you witness a bug doesn't mean it's a simple fix to it
The bug needs to repeatable it can't just randomly happen
We have to figure out why it only occurs to some people.
Then the tedious task of shuffling through millions of lines of code to find what thing could be causing this.

So when you say shit like this

You might as well get off league and stop playing, because you aren't helping, you are just spouting nonsense.

When u say shit like this you are trying to defend acompany with a monthly networth of 70 million $ who couldn't fix a simple bug in 4 years. SO you might as well get off from league and go become a valveknight in doto they need it more than rito does.

Again, obviously not a simple bug, only small portion of people ever experience it.

Again, idiots without knowledge of programming thinking every bug in this game is simple to fix.

I have a master degree in programming so i do know a thing or 2 about the subject. And no it is no simple task to fix every bug , but to be unable to fix a well known bug over 4 years... in taht case i'd question the developers' capability.

It is not a well known bug, it comes and goes randomly on a couple people, if the bug can't be repeated in a controlled way it's near impossible to track down and fix. Assuming you understand the basics of finding bugs.
