So she can tank turrets, blow you up, heal, escape, and do mixed damage? Where is the weakness Riot talks about?? I don't see it in her.

As I have said in every nid qq threat yet, and will continue to say, the problem is that AD nidalee gains too much damage on takedown for 2 offensive items, thus freeing her to build 3 defensive ones.

AP nidalee( Who can assassinate people, when built like an assassin, and just as squishy as one) on the other hand, needs QoL buffs( mainly in being able to actually land traps on an opponent in lane instead of them all triggering on minions)

The short of it is, takedown needs an AD ratio nerf, and it has needed it since her gameplay update.

Technically, she probably needed it before the gameplay update, it simply wasn't major because building her tanky AD was much worse than going AP.

Tank turrets...?

Take multiple turret shots without really dying. She can take a more then a couple turret shots, heal, then escape with cat form as well. And throw spears that still deal a lot of dmg even if she goes mostly AD. There is no real weakness to Nidalee at the moment.

One could argue that her early game is too strong, but to say that she has no weaknesses is a overkill. There are faster split pushers and better teamfighters than her. If she doesnt manage to get ahead, or even worse, loses her lane, there is very little she can contribute to her team other than split pushing. And shes not even the best one at it.

Well they gave her takedown at level 1, which would have overpowered to begin with considering the RIDICULOUS burst it has, but then they also BUFFED the dame with hunt mechanic. 200 damage at level 1 when you're half health is to be expected, so the next takedown will kill

I rarely see anyone start Q on her as AD.

Come on guys, stop trying to argue if nid is OP 100/100 times or 99/100. We all get the point and agree that the champion needs some change. To OP, I agree I always beg for nid to be banned every ranked game.

She falls off really hard, and is near useless in tell fights as AD.

She may win lane but unless your team is prepared to split push all match then you're going to struggle with her when laning is over.

ANY champ can tank turrets for a short time with full health
She can't blow anything up...
Her heal got hard nerfed. For the amount of mana it costs to use early game, it's just not worth it. Exception is if you're going AP and you have the mana to spare.
Have you ever seen nid trying to run away from someone? She's suuuuper slow! Yes, she has cougar pounce, but it has a reasonable CD and can't be spammed.
Mixed damage is a main part of her kit now because they nerfed AP nid. People complained non stop when she just poked to death, so now she has to engage you with AD/AP damage to be somewhat viable.
Her weakness is that she HAS to hit you with a spear (which has a smaller hitbox now) or a trap (which doesn't hit immediately after it's set) to actually be able to pounce on you. You can just stand behind your minions and kite her to death.

I like that most of you agree. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
