No matter how many times you slap her on the wrist nidalee is just so god damn broken its not funny. I remember that the rework was to make nidalee less of a spear chucking champ. Well she does that anyways but now she has stronger all in as well. Shes mobile and shits out damage like no ones business with little to no effort. The last nerf she got was a slap on the wrist why is it so hard to just nerf her damage on her spear so that it isn't chunking people for half their health? Thats all i want riot a good nerf to her spears is that too much to ask.

So, I did Nidalee's update a year or so back, and this will probably be an unpopular opinion, but...

Without changing the reliability profile on Javelin Toss, I think it actually does need to do pretty significant damage. In a world where they were more reliable, they could do less, and she could move even more toward an in/out playstyle. In her current iteration, when Javelin Toss is bodyblocked by tanks or itemized against, the spears don't really seem to hit THAT hard for how unreliable they are.

I won't claim Nidalee's design is perfect, but I do stand by the idea that current Nidalee needs her spears to do pretty good damage.

I think Nidalee's spears are less frustrating than her ability to be highly mobile + a heal to get out of trouble. It's pretty hard to punish a Nidalee unless she's very caught out.

Nidalee is a very squishy champ so don't talk bullshit.

If you don't want your health chucked then either build health/magic resist or just get a Banshee's Veil, this shit isn't hard dude.

Or you could just make sure you have vision and dodge, it only chucks if it hits from very long range, that shit is piss easy to dodge.

I fully agree, Nidalee's spears are kinda like Morgana's snare, you take that away, you take away what makes the champion.

That being said, why doesn't her cougar forms have any mana costs? I think that would make for a start to curbing the hate towards her, especially because her manaless gapcloser being like 3 second long cooldown and no mana cost.

Some "slap on the wrist", her solo laning has been nuked from orbit, and even her jungling seems to be pretty bad.

yes, Brand's slow shuffling of his feet to get around really stifles his un-livablilty so to day (Being green and undead) while being pecked away from endless spears coming around the bend an stuff..

Poor Brandie.
