Are there any plans for Nidalee?

She feels weak at everything she does. Is she a jack of all trades or a master of one? Definitley not master of one because someone ALWAYS does something better than she does no matter how she is played. If a Rioter sees this could they relay information on what Nidalee is, and is supposed to be in the current state of the game?

Nidalee used to be the champion that did everything better then every other jungler (once mastered). I don't miss those days.

Also it's hard to say nidalee is weak, especially with the new athenes: https://www.op.gg/champion/nidalee/statistics/jungle 51.27% WR 6.89% PR How much stronger do you want her? She's definitely a skillceiling champion but she's actually preforming really well right now, even at her strongest last season she had a horrid winrate (45 and she was still being nerfed).

Its worth adding other junglers are getting nerfed too, which should also add to her performance.

hopefully one day riot will bless us and revert her back to 5.1

This is the only thing I could see bringing lane Nidalee back without Jungle Nidalee being too powerful.

The patch before the Nidalee changes, Nidalee had 50% winrate across 3 roles, after the patch and nerfs Nidalee just sticks in the Jungle now, been a mess to balance since. We lost a ton of our beloved Nidalee's kit since 5.2..

She was also a decent jungler at that time as well. the only other thing I could see them doing is buffing her in ways like raising her ad/attack speed and returning her aa resets while reducing the damage of her abilities too jungle monsters. I also wonder if they could do some type of "adaptative" thing like they are doing with the new runes. Buff her in some ways but take those buffs away when she has smite.

idk before some changes she was top jungler so someone isn't ALWAYS better than her

Nidalee is one of my more preferred champs to play and definitely agree she needs a boost. Right now you can either play her in lane and struggle to land spears against anyone remotely skilled because they are too damn slow, or jungle and get all your camps stolen and never take any drakes because you have no dueling power.

I'm still debating whether they should add more AD scaling/dueling power in her kit or if they should simply make her spears a tad faster and buff her traps. In either case I would really just like to be able play nidalee mid or top again without getting flame from teammates. Last time I tried to play her mid someone on my team banned her so I couldn't pick her, lol.

she needs alot to help her in top lane ad/atk speed buff, aa resets to come back more, hp/resists, reduced cougar cool downs are all things that would go miles to help her out.

Saying that there's always a champ that does something better than she does is a truism... That's a bad method of persuasion. Ofc there's champs that do things better than she does. However, it's when Nidalee is pushed overboard that I have to see her in every game that i play. That shit is ridiculous.

I'd rather play against Lee Sin EVERY GAME than have to play against a meta Nidalee every 3 games. It's utter cancer.
