Nidalee Ult Changes
I have been playing Nidalee for a bit, and have come up with some changes that would be good to make, in order to round her out abit more, and as such add more options to have choice on abilities and her scaling.
What Is The Problem?
The problem at the moment with Nidalee is that her cougar form abilities (Q,W,E), Don't scale with the human abilities (Q,W,E), the cougar form abilities scale with her R, so this means that no matter how many points you put in her human Q it won't increase her cougar Q, this means that when she hits 6,11,16 her cougar forms suddenly get major damage changes, so her cougar Q,W,E get damage boost at 6,11,16 even if you haven't put any points (except 1 point in each, in order to use it) into these abilities.
What Should Be Done?
The way to fix this would be to make it so her cougar abilities scale with her human abilities. There are two main ways to go about this, The Jayce way, then there's my wild idea, so here we go:
First Solution (Jayce Way)
Her abilities scale with the points you put into it (Q,W,E) and then when you put a point into her R it reduces the R cool-down and she gets a small bonus when she turns from one form to another, Turn into a cougar gain bonus MS for a few seconds. Turn into human gain AS (not sure for this one). This would then mean that for her abilities to do damage she has to put points into them and reduce her cougar form abilities all scaling on her R scaling.
Problem that could happen, is that like Jayce, lots of people will not rank up R and will put points into their other abilities, this could be a problem or on the hand, it can be looked at as adding more choice to the player.
Seconds Solution (My Crazy Idea)
Make it so that Nidalee's R does not scale, (so can't be ranked up) and instead her Q,W,E have 6 points that can be put into them, they then affect her Human and Cougar form and mean that in order to get the full benefits of the ability you have to rank them up, this will mean she scales less heavily and has to put more points into each ability to max it, and get the most out of them.
Why Should This Be Done?
The reason that these changes should be made is it will better balance Nidalee and mean that she doesn't gain a huge damage buff at 6,11,16. The problem that occurs is that currently Nidalee farms till 6 or 11 then her cougar form abilities are able to deal massive damage even if she has only 1 point in Q, W or E this then means that if Nidalee want's to deal damage with her Human or Cougar abilities she actually has to put points into them in order to increase the damage of those abilities.
How Would This Affect Her?
What this would mean is that some of her cougar abilities will become better and do more damage earlier than her current form, but her other abilities will do less damage than they do currently, so she could rank up her Cougar Q to do more damage earlier, but then her W and E will do less damage as compensation.
End Comments
I believe that by implementing these changes it would open Nidalee and both her forms, this would give and take with her ability scaling and make it so that for her abilities to do damage she actually has to rank up the abilities and not just get major damage buffs at 6,11,16, this would hopefully mean that she has to balance between her abilities and choice properly between her human and cougar forms and need to think about how she uses her abilities.
) that required nerfs because people thought it was stupid...
