Please Explain Why You Hate Nidalee So Much

kcStranger·Mar 31, 2015·3 votes·873 views

I've made a couple posts about Nidalee's balance changes on the PBE, suggesting they might be overdone or at least misguided, but trying to be open to other possibilities/solicit feedback. Both posts were quickly downvoted. Based on that and other evidence, I can only conclude that there is a large community of dedicated Nidalee haters who want to shut down any conversation that could possibly jeopardize incoming Nidalee nerfs.

So I just wanted to ask: Can someone explain to me why you hate Nidalee so much? (Feel free to downvote while you're at it, so long as I get an answer it's ok.)

i think everyone hates the fact that you can dodge 99% of her spears.. but the moment you fuck up the moment you get hit by 1 spear, you die or you're gonna have to recall effective immediately

I've personally not played Nidalee but either she her abysmal resource cost or every nid I've faced has really really good mana management I'm just thinking to myself.... "not sure if she recalled and came back or she healed the shit out of herself...."

Also her ability to always live by stepping into a brush, idk how how and why.. it just happens

let's see what is there theres also " not sure if recalled, roaming, or standing in the fog/brush waiting to nail me with a spear"

(Facepalm.) That was pretty much the point of my last post, where I suggested that they should be nerfing the range-based damage increase on her spears rather than her health.

Why would anyone hate a champ that can kill you from well out of your range, and if they screw up has an escape and heals in order to negate any punishment she took for her failure, and on can insta-gibb a 3/0 enemy who is 3 levels above her while being 0/3 herself.

In the end you have a champ who is not only miserable to play against but also insanely strong, flat out over powered to boot. There is literally nothing to like about Nid.

There is literally nothing to like about Nid.

Her warring kingdoms skin..splash art. That's about it

In all seriousness the only thing I hate about Nidalee is how she always manages to get fed. As a Shaco player if I see she's jungling i'm trashing her early game as hard as possible and making sure she never gets ahead. Then it always seems to go to shet because even if I get her 0/2 she ALWAYS manage to be 5/2 the next time I see her.
