yeah it sucks when it happens to the champ YOU play doesn't it...
i don't play
but she was fun to watch, i miss her being viable, (although less so when 8i am support and my ADC ults me at really bad times)
is quite boring to watch.. but she USED to be quite fun to play when she didn't suck so much
idk.. he just flat out needs a rework... you cant buff him without completely breaking him again.
and now we have
who has been nearly trash(45% win rate) for gold and below since riot gave her scaling resets on pounce. but still managed to stay so OP at higher elos riot now has gutted her for EVERY elo...
and the removal of strength of ages is going to be a HUGE hit to her.. as the difference between SOA nid winrate and thunderlords is 6% by itself...
so unless something is addressed in 6.23... nid wont be able to do a full clear without backing or getting executed. which is unheard of in the jungle meta.. let alone early game champs that pretty much require a snowball to be relevant...
i havent tried her on pbe as i don't have access,, but i can say for certain... as nidalee with over 1000 games on her as what i would estimate a gold 3 or 4 level at her.. a full clear with thunderlords is not possible in 6.21. i have tried it... i got an gromp leash where the support took EVERY hit and i took ZERO damage form gromp... and i still barely killed red buff without getting executed... there was no WAY i was going to try krugs.. even running to try to heal off scuttle would have been suicide unless i had vision of the enemy jungle elsewhere.
maybe the jungle camp changes will make it possible idk.. a full clear with thunderlords WAS doable in 6.20 (i think... i didn't really every run it because it's horrible compared to strength of ages) but it certainly isn't viable in 6.21 and 6.22 looks to be worse. (granted i dont think the jungle changes would hurt nid that much if she could keep SOA... its losing THAT is what i think is going to kill her NOT the jungle changes)
