Riven and Nidalee

I just want to ask if anything is going to be done about these champions and make a few points here.

1 The living definition of UNFUN to play against. 2 Instead of success based on individual skill with a champion, their success is reliant on actually making OTHER players champions harder to play. 3 I seem to remember another champion that fit into a catagory with them.. might have been april fools day..was it a RANGED MELEE TANKY DPS MAGE ASSASSIN SUPPORT JUNGLER that excels at EVERYTHING.

Nidalee has gotten nothing but nerfs lately, if you remember the days when she could legit 1hit people with spears, you shouldn't be complaining now. Her latest nerf took off 60 base damage (at max range) at level 5. 60 damage is a fucking lot. Sure, nerf riven, she's easy to play and hard to play against, whatever, fuck her. Please, nidalee hasn't gotten a single buff in a long time. Leave her alone for now.

i know right, i'm so sick of hearing complaints about nidalee and they just continuously nerf her and nerf her. I played an aram game as nidalee and was fucking next to worthless. none of my spears did hardly any decent damage to people with NO MAGIC RESIST.

However, riven Does take skill to play. An unskilled riven can win lane against an even more stupid opponent, but equal skill match ups and she'll get shat on if she isn't decent. her auto-move-q combo is actually quite hard to do and she takes a bit of practice to be pretty good with.

I played against a bad riven as mundo, literally kept her under her tower all laning phase and i was 30+ cs ahead, and i shut her down hard. She kept asking her jungle to gank, she got like 3 and i still never died. she was pretty useless.

Oh look someone complaining about Riven and Nidalee.

Oh god he even threw in a Lee Sin. This thread is just the pinnacle of what these boards represent!

Did you play at least 5-10 ranked games with any of this champions? Did you try to counter them, and how actually? Answer this questions and maybe I will be able to help you. As for your question-Riven will not be nerfed soon, and Nidalee was nerfed in 5.15

Nidalee was just nerfed last patch but for good reason. Nidalee, Riven, and I'd throw in Vayne too all have unbelievably good kits for fighting/dueling. I don't think they should be nerfed though.

1: Yes, and so is Teemo. What's your point? 2: Ummm... What? What does that even mean? 3: Urf > Riven and Nidalee. 4: Riven is a dueling champion. Don't duel her. Nid is a skirmishing champion. Don't skirmish with her.
