Gutting Nids health was too much

i've played league since December. I have won a lot of games on Lelanc and Nidalee. When I win on Nidalee its because I get early ganks and can push my AP faster than the enemy can counter. Nidalee was high risk high reward. But now with her health nerf she is too risky to ever dive in during team fights. During team fights she was mostly a poke champ before but you could dive in when the timing was perfect. Now she is far too squishy to ever dive in with ever during a team fight.

Nidalee has been reduced to a long range Q spammer with this nerf and that's boring for us Nidalee players.

Nidalee used to be incredibly fun early game in mid lane. If I laned a few Q spears and pounced and did my combo and used ignite i could usually get a pre lvl 6 kill. Now most mid laners can bully Nidalee back to her tower by landing three poke attacks on her. Rito you nerfed her health way too hard and its not even fun playing her now as it's all just throwing spears and very little pouncing and executing.

Why not just build health on her instead of full glass cannon?

Most bruisers have to in order to do that.

Well dont take this the wrong way but i think you were playing her wrong... Most Nidalees dont really care for timing or whatnot they sorta just jump in after hitting a spear and erase someone despite the entire team being there. Thanks to her Pounce she can dodge skill shots fairly easily so hitting her with CC is hard and even if you do she finishes her dash before being CC'd so she still got mostly out of danger.... Then she will do it again in a few seconds. The health nerf makes it so she cant do that whenever she hits a spear, now she truly is high risk and high reward.

Nidalee post nerf still couldn't survive diving an enemy team ever. The Only time Nidalee could survive Q spear plus diving the enemy team during a team fight is if the enemy she is pouncing is 600 range away from all other enemies so that they can't chain cc focus fire kill you.

Now it's impossible to even think of diving an enemy team during a big team fight.
