How is the current nidalee any different than the pre-rework toxic nidalee playstyle?

Currently she can still do like 1.5k damage spears with ludens echo proc which is no different than her before the rework where she can just sit back and snipe people from afar. The only difference is that now if she doesnt kill you she doesnt need to wait for her spear to come back, instead she can pounce on your ass instantly for the killing blow. She is now exactly what her reworked aimed at fixing once again... and judging from the patch notes for 5.6 riot is perfectly cool with it. Thoughts?

Her spear hitbox is like 1/4 or 1/3rd the size it used to be and her heal ratio was lowered quite a bit. Oh and her traps don't shred armour and MR. I prefer the new Nid to the old one. Her kit in general is rather problematic, I agree.

pre: QQQQQQ 1 hit = 80% hp late game, 1 hit = GG. you cant touch her until you die.

now: QQQQQQ dmg nerfed and really hard to hit compared to pre-rework

1 hit = 40% hp and RWQEW

yes, she must be in melee range if she want to kill you. that's the different.

Were you not paying attention to anything I just said? With ludens echo release full ap nidalee can chunk people for 80% hp just like the old nidalee

because she CAN NOT.

So basically, with an item that gives damage, she does more damage? Shocking! I call shenanigans! Next you'll be telling me that building Statik Shiv makes Varus crit more or something crazy like that.

"we're nerfing Ziggs because he's "unfun." "we're buffing Blitzcrank and Nidalee because screw you all."

Edit: and just to be clear, I don't give a crap whether or not either of them are broken, and I don't give a crap whether or not their skill shots are dodgeable. I just hate the whole "Unfun" thing, because Riot is horribly unfair with it.

Didn't they JUST buff Ziggs?

Yes, but the argument still stands...

They reduced his mana cost late game after thrashing the mana regen of his core mana reg item.

They gave Nidalee 2 sec root against Jungle monsters for no reason at all.

You want my thoughts? Build magic resist. Problem solved (if it's a good Nidalee player--if it's a bad Nidalee player, then that isn't even necessary).

This includes ADC as well (with item 3156 , or item 3139 if they have cc, or item 3026 , etc).

item 3135 and item 3035 should be nerfed too. Make them truly situational items rather than core.
