Rank 3 nidalee world asks riot to not buff nidalee on patch 7.2

Nidãlee··4 votes·2,112 views

My thoughts are to just LEAVE HER ALONE! Yes, you didn't misread, a nidalee otp saying to leave nidalee alone. I feel as if you buff nidalee any more then she will become perma banned/picked like she was early season 6 and well, I enjoy playing nidalee. She is a high skill cap champion that the reason why her overall win rate is so low, is because she isn't played properly. I think she is honestly really strong, but that may be because I have mastered that champion and be completely biased, but I feel that way. She is the most mobile jungler in the game and can get across the map to make plays in about 20 seconds.

Another reason on why we should wait on buffing nidalee is because the upcoming nerfs on lee sin and rengar (in my opinion the two biggest counters to nidalee at the moment) on patch 7.1 may bring nidalee back into a more viable state. This is probably why Riot is waiting until patch 7.2 instead of 7.1 before making changes to her.

TL:DR - Riot should wait on her buffs and see how she does currently with the upcoming rengar/lee nerfs, as I believe she is still strong currently. I also enjoy playing nidalee, so I don't want her perma banned/picked again.

Edit 1: I don't know if I described what I'm trying to get at correctly, but mainly what I am trying to say is that I don't think nidalee needs buffs at all, as she is honestly strong currently and with the nerfs onto lee and rengar, she may see the light of day again. I also want a chance to play her multiple games in a row without the worry of a ban or pick (selfish I know.)

being best champion na doesn't grant the right to change champion

I'd defiantly say he knows more about the champion than many, if not all the rioters who balance the game and have a say in making the decisions.

Wouldn't you agree?

i just don't like how Nidalee is complete ass unless you've completely mastered the champion, and then she's horse shit for the enemy team to deal with just because there's so much she can do as one champion

would rather see larger changes that make her more accessible and a little less of a headache to deal with, but still let the people who've invested time into mastering her flex their skill

agreed that they should probably wait, Nidalee has a habit of going from trash to god tier very quickly

For the most part, not even people that have a massive amount of games on her are doing well with her right now.

That is exactly what riot said about their decisions to balance champions. If you have more experience on a champion then you should have a better win rate than someone who does not.

Dynikus1 votes

Obviously. And nidalee is a champion you need a lot of experience with to do well with her. But even most people with a lot of experience with her have a bad winrate. You might still be able to play her very well and have a great winrate with her, but that's not the case for most people sadly.

I'd like to see how nidalee would fair in a meta where riot actually nerfs Zac Hecarim Vi

Legit this trio alone make so many things unplayable right now, nerfing them would fix so much. Nidalee Kindred RekSai

I'm not great at nidalee, but I can easily get fed as her, its just a matter of how easily you can be shutdown, and in the current meta walking into the enemy jungle as a squishy champion like nidalee is a death sentence.

She's also not the greatest at bot lane clown fiestas compared to divers.

I do think she needs buffed absolutely, but first they need to fix the real problems.. cause if they buff nidalee to be balanced with the existance of vi and hec, they're in for a shit show when those champs actually do fall out of the meta.

"Rank 3 nidalee world". its actually very hard to portray sarcasm in words, especially when simultaneously referring to yourself in 3rd person

Dynikus1 votes

I'm not sure why you think that was sarcasm. They're currently master 275 lp with more games played on nidalee than anyone else this season.

im not sure theres an understanding here for how unlikely that is. if he'd have just said NA and not world, i wouldnt have cared, its a lot more reasonable, maybe its even possible. he could have his title which means a lot more to him than most other people. theres a lot more stuff on earth to complain about than an unofficial title that, although might not even be absolutely correct, could be fairly deserving for somebody so dedicated thats also achieved master (even potentially challenger with 309 LP since checking right now)

the best in the world though...if there really is 100 million monthly players/accounts, if we've seen all the elite nidalee players in pro play, if theres been hundreds of koreans in a similar ranking as this guy, play at least like, what, 50 games on nidalee in season 6, is there really any question that this one guy is "rank 3 world" of the champion he happens to play most frequently thats gotten him to challenger?

if we're talking about games played in season 6:

http://eune.op.gg/summoner/userName=P%C3%A0ws - played 1300 games on nidalee and got to diamond, the same rank as this guy at the time

if we're talking about higher KDA, with a similar winrate aswell:

http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Tingle%20Biddies - also diamond, also played like 6-8 times more nidalee across all seasons

if we're talking about slightly less winrate, but higher KDA again, higher average gold, and has also played a ton more nidalee games, whilst still reaching diamond in season 6:

http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=Luck%C3%ADes

and this isnt even going into pro players. these are people who've just played tons more nidalee, especially just in season 6, who've sacrificed a potentially higher winrate and rank, to play the 1 champion they love every single game and reached a similar ranking, in a region that is also outside of korea and should therefore be weighted in a similar fashion to what this guy can bring to the table for his case as rank 3 nidalee world

What's hilarious is someone like Rush can maintain an absurd win ratio on Nidalee all the way to masters and this champ is still that bad.... Goes to show how degenerate her kit is.

I am nidalee main as and I know last season nidalee was super strong, I slaughter almost all games. For this season, she is still strong in invade and I can easily win other champs(except lee and heca) in jungle. But with the nerf of the jungle exp, she can only get little level advantage. And nidalee is strong because she always get much higher level and gold advantage than others, but in this 7.1 patch, it is impossible. So, please buff it in 7.2, I need to carry a broken lane like in season 6! Please riot, I can only improve elo when nidalee buff! I only play it!!!
