Revert the nidalee nerfs
i understand that people hate nidalee. i understand that nidalee spears can become invisible once every 200 games.
i understand that people dont like her in the jungle..
what i DON'T understand is why nidalee was nerfed. there are 2 nerfs im talking about
the first one was her trap nerf
now nidalee's old traps did a % health vs enemies, capped at 150 vs monsters
so according to riot they reworked he traps so they were weaker vs monsters. well yeah they are... infact there 100% worthless vs EVERYTHING they deal less damage than the weakest auto attack in the game.. they cost mana they have a cooldown and the opponent needs STEP on them.
so what could have been done? well we could have lowered the 150 cap vs monster to 50.
so why is this an issue? well lets see. nidalee traps vs players even in thier old state were really bad. but they at least had SOME use. VERY late game if they had a really tanky champ who was dumb enough to step on a trap it could do some decent damage.
now? traps deal 40 damage, period. you took a skill that has next to zero use in the game and completely removed the only use it had. and you did it to "weaken" her jungle. THE SKILL WAS ALREADY CAPPED AT 150 VS JUNGLE MOBS!!!! LOWER THE ****ING CAP. DON'T COMPLETELY REMOVE ITS ONLY USE VS PLAYERS
ok.. lets talk about her 2nd nerf.
well guess what rito... although the nerf to her traps vs players is HUGE vs players. they were already so bad vs players even before the nerf and guess what? it didn't really weaken her that much. so what do u do?
you decide to nerf her hp BY THREE HUNDRED!!! 300!!!! now lets see how does this affect her?
does it hurt her jungling or her laning?
well since nidalee has a heal and jungle, and since jungle mobs AI isnt very good, and since most of the time in the jungle the mobs are rooted out of auto attack range. this nerf did didnt do jack shit to her jungling. in addition to this... junglenid usally build
where laneing nid never will.
and whats more what did this do to her laning? wow now nidalee has less hp... ignore they fact that she already pretty much got 2 shot by everything. what does this do? it makes her throw more spears before going in cougar form for the kill. becuase of her lower hp she needs to be at a higher hp to win the trade.. how does this afdect jungle nid? well single jungle mobs are even worse at dodging spear than most players. again.. it doesn't do jack shit.
so all your nerfs to "jungle" nidalee BARELY touched jungle nidalee and pretty much completely ruined laning phase nidalee.
in the mean time nidalee was only strong because of her invisible spears WHICH YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIXED!!!!!
nidalee is NOT op.. she never was. and enough people have posted her counters that its impossible to pick her without even bronze players counter picking one of the 20+ champs that counter her.
so what are you accomplishing riot? your not nerfing jungle nidalee. your not fixing the only issue she actaully had. (her invisble spear). in the mean time everyone learn her counters and LANING nidalee gets nerfed to obsolescence.
as for zed? who is an ACTUAL issue? his auto attack speed got slightly nerfed, and he hasn't been touched since...
