why the bloody hell is Nidalee getting another pounce nerf? her win rate is 46% in bronze 48% in silver 49% in gold

now that is 80% of the population

and it isn't until you reach the top 3% of players where nid's winrate goes crazy and jumps up to 55%

FOR 97% OF THE LEAGUE POPULATION SHE IS IN A BALANCED STATE.

LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!

yes she was 100% pick/ ban in worlds.. but even the games she WAS picked in... she barely made any difference to the outcome anyways..

her winrate has a 9% difference from bronze to challenger and your balanced for 97% of the population... you cant balance everything.. you haven't been able get her is a "good" untouched state two since the start of season 5 when you threw her into the jungle. and you cant now.. especially not with straight up nerfs.. all that is going to do is shift the 9% difference between bronze and challenger down. to do what? give the top 3% more priority while screwing over another 40% of the population; just for those 3%?

i can see this being a temporary fix for worlds... but this is crazy stupid to be putting on pbe right now... i just hope this is just another one of those day one scares like you did last time...

People not knowing how to play here doesnt mean she is in a balanced state. It just means that lower elos are still bad at the game. Kudos to riot for finally doing something about here when played by skilled hands because fuck skilled nidalee.

Riot primarily balances around the high Plat low Diamond level if I recall correctly.

i understand that, but even there she has a 51-52% win rate. which yes, is good but isnt nerf worthy by itself

her winrate in LOWER elos is WELL below the average, and she could use **buffs ** there.

yes her challenger tier winrate is pretty stupid at 54%

for 60% of the players she is well below average winrate, for the 20% above them she is average for 17% above that she is slightly above average and for the top 3 % she is REALLY freaking strong

i an understand changes to her that will lower her for the 17% and the 3% and would buff her for the 60 for the lower winrates

but thst isnt what i'm seeing.. I'm seeing STRAIGHT UP nerfs.

which all that is going to do is move the 9% difference in winrate down maybe 2-4%

and that will do what?

make her abysmal for 60% make her viable by slightly bad for 20% make her "decent" for 17% and make her a good pick for 3%

and how would that be any improvement?

nidalee isn't a diver... she isn't DESIGNED to stay in the fight after she pounces in

her job is to throw a spear, get in, and get out

increasing the pounce reset and pounce cooldown is only going to make her NOT get out.

my god they want to increase her time to be in melee range to 3.5 seconds? at 2 seconds at max rank?

my god.. she is a squishy champ that builds NO MR, NO ARMOR, has VERY low base HP, and you freakign expect me to stay in melee range for 3.5 seconds?

she is a SQUISHY ASSASSIN, similar to Zed and Leblanc

they go in.. they do damage.. and they get out..

all three of these champs are extremely mobile,

all of them EXCEPT nidalee have a VERY long range escape

and you are making nidalee stay in melee range for THREE AND A HALF seconds?

this in a meta where tanks get melted in 2 seconds...
