At what point will Riot admit that the Nid rework failed?

I don't care about balance. That's a non-issue since balance is numbers and concepts are what matter.

Nid still retains ZERO interaction.

What did you do before Nids rework? Dodge spears while she tossed them at you at 1500 range. Then proceed to run away while she tried to finish you off with cougar.

What do you do after Nids rework? Dodge spears while she tosses them at you at 1500 range. Then proceed to run away while she tries to execute you with cougar.

What's changed? The numbers...

Old nid-> 80% of your HP with a spear, 20% of your hp with execute New nid->60% of your HP with a spear, 50% of your hp with an execute

Is it better? No... And i'll tell you why not...

Because when Nid jumps on you, during that brief 0.5 seconds of actual exposure, Nid is busy bursting you down. That's a ridiculously small window for you to react, and it's only open when you're vulnerable to being bursted.... Meaning Nid has to make a gross misjudgment for you to get a reasonable kill opportunity.

That or you try to catch Nid which is about as fruitful as being gay in Saudi Arabia or being a well-endowed champion before an IronSemite rework

Old Nid never used Cougar form for anything but free farming and running away. The issue was that a single spear could force you to give up a turret.

Right now, dodge spears and/or have CC ready to intercept her when she pounces.

LOL

Old Nid was just about spears and heals. That's all. Cougar form only existed to run into lane. Now she has a predictable pattern: she has to hit you with spear, get in W range, then leap into melee range as a squishy AP Assassin.

the same time that ap kids will realize that their champs is not balance and using mana doesnt give you a free pass

Only her dueling has changed. Instead of just poking, she pounces after landing a spear. Big deal.

In a team fight, she still just pokes and pokes because pouncing in is too dangerous.

Pushing her into the jungle succeeded in shifting the misery she inflicts from one lane to all lanes.
