Nidalee buffs I want.

  1. Javelin being like Kalista's, if i kill a minion it continues to go and probably hits another target. Perhaps Javelin having ad scaling at least.
  2. Her scaling late game needs serious buffs. Really discouraging people building her tanky and AD when she shouldn't be any of those.
  3. Better hybrid potential, her new kit has potential but it doesn't benefit greatly any of the 2. If I go ad my cat abilities suck and depend on Q and target to be low health. If I go ap I have great early game and completely fall of if game goes over 30+. This shouldn't happen It's disgusting to have outplayed your lane and get credited with a lame champ late game. And no the item builds won't fix it.

So many better changes to her new kit can be done...

1: The main difference is that Javelin deals a HUGE amount of damage when it lands if your distance control is good. We're talking up to 450 + 120% AP damage at 1300 units. If it could go through minions it would be FAR to easy to snipe your opponent through low-health minions, making Nidalee's counterplay (avoid Javelins and Traps or else take damage and be marked for her all-in) too difficult during the laning phase.

2: She actually scales pretty well currently: her AP damage gets pretty huge, Lichbane gives her Cougar form incredible sustained damage, and her percentile health damage on her traps allow her to hurt even the most durable opponents. AD/Tank Nidalee is basically dead. Look at http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Nidalee -- there are only about two AD Nidalee builds in the last thirty games by pro players, and only one or two Tank Nidalee builds. AP is king currently, and it's STRONG.

3: I suspect you're playing her wrong. Nidalee has a great mid-late game dueling capability, great split-pushing power, and the fact that she scales off of AP much better than AD means you aren't stuck with a hybrid build that does neither well. Additionally, adding more AD ratios to her kit would encourage the AD / Tank set-up you were so against in point #2. Hybrid characters don't work well in League -- Hybrid items just aren't good. Either they're not worth the cost, or they're way overpowered. This has been proven again and again on characters like Kayle, Akali, and Jax in past seasons.
