Nidalee got reworked for a toxic and unfun playstyle

So Zoe was created later on in the future?

I main Nidalee, I always have. Her old kit was very bad to play against. I played my first game as Zoe and she is

disgusting.

I didn't do well in the beginning but once I understood the mechanic I was one shotting people when I should not

have. Nidalee spears never and I mean

NEVER were on this level of power that Zoe can dish out.

I landed my sleep from 2x the distance of a Nidalee spear and was still capable of closing the gap to one-shot multiple

people. We saw it during day 1 of

AllStars. Nobody banned her day 1 but after that day she became almost perma-banned and won when she was not banned.

As a Nidalee player I am extremely salty towards Zoe's playstyle because Nidalee had a very similar playstyle and

was reworked because it was deemed to

have little counterplay and was unfun.

Well guess what Riot? Zoe is the evolved form of Nidalee and I want to rip out my own eyes every time I face her.

I honestly don't understand you Riot. You trash one champions kit only to place it and polish it onto a new

champion. Oh and she has extreme crowd

control. Not hard cc but extreme cc. You're so weird Riot.

Self healing and unconditional mobility.

That's the main difference.

Old Nid could lob spears from long range and pounce away through the jungle if someone tried to pin her down. If she got chipped, she could heal it off with Primal Surge.

Zoe has comparable damage to old Nid's nuclear spear, but she lacks the unconditional mobility and sustain.

I'm not saying Zoe is properly tuned at the moment, but I AM saying she's more interactive than the old Nid was.

I feel like everyone that makes this blind comparison between Zoe and Nidalee are just not facing the truth or are actually bad at this game.
