Now, I was scrolling through patch notes because I remembered that nid's w was changed so I came across this -> It’s no secret that Nidalee’s strength in 2017 isn't what it used to be. There's a catch, though - while most Bestial Huntresses are now struggling to make ends meet, experienced Nidalee players aren’t feeling that pain. We're not in a rush to make her Queen of the Jungle again, but that doesn't mean we can't beef up her consistency. For this round of changes, we're focusing on putting power into Nidalee’s utility outside of the jungle. Making Bushwhack a more consistent Hunt activator - especially in lane - should reward creative Nidalees without putting them right back on to

This is from patch 7.2v, in here it says that you wanted to reward creative nids for placing w in the right spots. However it doesnt feel rewarding at ALL, there isnt a situation in the world where I would say ooh I wish I had my w up or WOW if i placed my w there he wouldve died. The dmg w provides is less then an AA and in the late game the regen is more then the dmg w does. Usually when I place my W somewhere and a support clears wards they dont even bother aaíng it they just stand ontop of it. Imagne if that was teemo shroom, shaco w or cait trap they wouldve never stood on top of it due them being afraid it will chunk their hp. It doesnt help with ganks since its easy to bypass, it doesnt provide vision unless an enemy steps on it which they rarely do, it doesnt do any dmg. The only time nids w is somehow useful is when she does her first clear and after she gets talisman having her w up barely speed up her clear. So now with my question you guys tried making nids w more rewarding for placing it in good spots but it doesnt feel rewarding at all, will there be a change to it ?

Thnx in advance

Ps you guys included swains e in the minion agro changes but swain got changed and his e isnt point and click aymore might wanna change that : ^)

nidalee needs way more help than better trap placement to ever be viable top or mid lane again

Honestly I dont think thats true, She might be out of top but she can be pretty decent mid. There were a few issues before preseason that kept nidalee from being a laner 1. waveclear 2. Reliant on all in 3. super squishy. number 1 can be resolved with minion determilzer, 2 has been resolved with electrocute that has super good synergy with her and the amor/mr pen the only thing that's left is squishyness and for that riot would need to buff her base stats abit, she has lower base stats then all the early game junglers so it wouldnt effect it but thats not what I meant to begin with. I feel like the W of nidalee is useless mid lane or jungle its both pointless.

I agree on her W feeling useless turning them invisible may have been alright if they wouldnt have limited her to 4 traps. They used to atleast be used to get vision even after they removed all the damage from them. As to making her viable in lane all they really need to do is revert all the nerfs she's had over the years and just re nerf her but with nerfs that target just jungle nid and not lane nid.

Do you know how many changes she had in only season 6, it would take forever to balance that bs.

Idk how the system works(no idea if they could easily revert or not) but I just really want them to fix her so she is like she used to be.
