Hello fellow summoners, laning nidalee is about to come back hard and strong!!!!
This is why im trying to argue giving her Bushwhack a delayed small nudge towards the location of the trap, in order to allow jungle nidalee to proc cotc. Even with cotc getting a nerf aswell next patch, i still believe allowing nidalee to proc it, with what would be the weakest cc(but still classified as hard cc,) would target all the indirect buffs that she acquired from the season changes and rylais nerfs. But i, like you read the changes as a nidalee jungling nerf. If nidalee jungling winrate decreases even more, i just dont know. She currently sits as the lowest jungle winrate, and 4th lowest winrate out of 199 champions. Dont even mention her high skillcap. I think the main people that argue against my idea and opinion are: A) Hate playing against a decent/skilled nidalee. B)Think that giving nidalee CC will make her broken and gutted. My response to:(btw these are plat+ranked games) A)http://champion.gg/champion/Nidalee/Jungle A)http://champion.gg/statistics/#?roleSort=&sortBy=general.winPercent&order=ascend B) The reason AA resets was removed was because it made the top tier best of the best nidalee players too oppressive because of the fast clears achievable/fast counter clears/ strong skirmishes. To this day people are still making godlike full nidalee jungle clears in record time and still playing her decently, add AA resets back to nidalee...What do you think will happen? A nerf that will consequentially effect nidalee in all mmr's. B) CC in the form of a delayed nudge towards the location of the activated bushwhack, with the changes that are about to hit jungle nidalee pretty hard? On a nerfed COTC? common give me a break. B) Riot will prob stop acknowledging jungle nidalee anyways( they have been nerfing jungle nidalee over and over again ever since she became a viable jungle, and it looks like the 7.2pbe changes are going to be the epitome of jungle nidalee dying and lane nidalee upringing), because getting her to a average 50%winrate nidalee in the game's most "carry" game-changing role will get a whole lot of bad commotion going. and C:to the laning nidalee's yeah i actually play lane nidalee top from time to time and i believe she is currently a underated laner and the upcoming changes will make her whole laning phase so much stronger. I have plenty of success with lane nidalee, But i will say lane nidalee matchups are practically always a skilled matchup at our end, and there are alot of hard hitters that "should" beat us.
