Nidalee Too Freaking Strong

We were nerfing some assasins but i think nidalee was left out. Her Q does so much damage early and late game. It gains more damage as it travels? Wtf, all nid does is stay back and poke with Q, it's slow traveling but you can't dodge it all day. You will eventually get sidetracked on something. When she hits it she goes cougar form and does over half your health. You throw a spear and it can do 500 damage to most mages.

I know what you are thinking, Build MR. I tried that but it doesn't work it still does too much damage. All i want is a Q nerf. Remove the scaling damage as it further travels.

People would always ask why there are no ranged AD junglers. This is why.

They just need to revert her hunting jungle creeps. I can deal with Nidalee in lane. But her having a safe laning phase where where has 5 chances to get fed no thank you. Especially when she gets even more control over dragon and baron. On top of this she can set a trap in order to get a MS boost when running into the lane for a gank. At least in lane you have a chance to see the spears coming and then a jungler to shut her down. In the jungle its a giant guessing game of where she is going to be and even as J4 with mobi boots I have struggled to keep up with her ganks.

Nidalee is balanced. If you want to hate, Kalista, Zed, and Lee Sin are some good champs to start off on.

that 48% winrate is getting out of hand.

She pokes pretty hard so all your team needs to do is hard engage. She does mostly single target damage and has to get within melee range to do most of it. From the moment it launches to the time it scales to max range, you also have plenty of visual time to try to dodge it.

She's pretty god-awful in teamfights, but good luck ever chasing her. Add her to the list of champions you should never chase:

It only does 500 damage? Are you playing against an AD nidalee?

AP nidalee still does over 1000 with her spears mid game

Its not her spears that are the problem. Its that she does more damage than assassins in cougar form, has heals, and is extremely safe.

Maybe an increase in spear mana cost per use ala kogmaw or kassidin

So im guessing everyone is agreeing to nerf nidalee. If not then just a tad.

such a freakin annoying champ her kit is just retarded....u mean to tell me a champ who needs to and one spear to combo all ur health, a champ who is extremely hard to catch if u arent a fuckin kassadin or some other ultra mobile champ, a fuckin champ who has incredible sticking power.........nid is a pain

This is how you fix Nidalee. Make her Pounce cost 60 mana. Bam. Fixed.

It's not that Nid is op, it's that she is one of if not THE most annoying and unfun champions to play against in the game. Nobody wants Nidalee to be good because when she is it ruins the game for all 5 people on the other team.

They need to bring down her Panther burst a bit so she isn't as nukish. For one, making her Panther Burst a shortrange skillshot or simply not a targeted ability would be a start. I'd argue about her spears, but they're a lot easier to dodge now and they don't hurt AS bad as before.

They could also make her heal like most other heals in the game because it's kind of absurd how much she can heal someone.

no no you are wrong She got reworked so she couldnt deal so much damage on such long range So now instead of 75% of your health she will take just 60% now. And another 40% when she jumps on you over three walls, four towers and five nexuses.
