"Just pink the spear, noob." -Rito 2042
Until they fix it. They'll fix it after they find it. They'll look for it seriously after they finish the lore. They'll finish the lore once the technical problems are done and over with. They'll fix the technical problems once they buff minions. They'll buff minions after they rework Eve.
Problem is, they can't find it cause its invisible and she just cougar pounces away when they get the nerf bat out
...until you realize she's been nerfed 3 times in the last 4 patches, lol
minor stat changes honestly how does that compensate for her invisible spears? that means nothing against those.
You act like invisible skillshots are an intentional change (which, fyi, the bug affects more than just Nid Q). It's a bug. Why would a champion get nerfed because of a visual bug?
because regardless if its a bug they still get an unintentional advantage and fixing stats isn't going to truly show the effect of its change with those spears being chucked at unsuspecting champions who could have easily avoided it with the visual not being almost invisible.
You're proving my point, nerfing a champion doesn't do anything to fix a bug they have. The solution is to fix the bug, not nerf the champion further.
That's the exact problem. not sure why the heck you would think that I ACTED like they were an intentional change you literally are throwing words at me right now even when we are going for the same point you are taking my words out of their own context. Furthermore, they aren't nerfing her bug they are nerfing her play style because even without the bug its oppressive. But my point, as well as yours, is to focus on the bug not the stats right now. Why you took it out of what I said. I have no idea.
My initial comment was directed at a comment that seems to be based on this seemingly pervasive belief that Nidalee has some sort of favoritism within Riot and therefore avoids being nerfed, which, is factually untrue (yes the user was joking at least in part, but the "at least in part" is the part that is pretty hazy, and can be interpreted in a lot of ways). This is separate to what you brought up:

Which, I take to mean you think there is meant to be some sort of connection between her balance changes and bugs, specifically when you mention the nerfs acting as some sort of compensation for the bug. My point is that the two are unrelated and should be treated as such, except in very extreme cases in which the bug is so consistently replicable or gamebreaking, and even in those cases it makes more sense for the champion to be temporarily disabled, not nerfed (see the Sivir glitch that had her disabled from competitive play for a few games, or the Shen bug that had him disabled from competitive play for like a year. Note that these were both gameplay bugs). Yes, IIRC there has been an instance or two where a champion received minor balance changes because of a persistent gameplay bug, but the bug in this instance is a rare, difficult to replicate (as I recall; one user figured a way to replicate it, though as I understand, that particular exploit has been fixed by Riot), and affects more than just Nidalee (Ezreal, Corki, and Mundo are just a few of the other reported incidents). Not to mention, the fact that Riot has fixed instances of the bug, but there are still invisible skillshots in the game leads me to believe there are many different bugs but just manifests itself in the same way (ie. invisible skillshots).
It's a bug with skillshots in general. Earlier today, I had an enemy Corki shoot invisible rockets.

This, the two champs who have had this bug. Also bugight be related to projectile size/range.
The bug also affects Ezreal Q and mundo cleavers (that I've seen).
Someone on a different topic claimed to get hit by an invisible ashe ult.
It's a weird interaction with skillshots and fog of war. That's why long-range skillshots are the most likely ones to be invisible.
P.S: I've seen -better said, I've NOT seen- Lux's E being invisible too. It made me lose a ranked because she got really fed to her laner thanks to this.
I've seen a glitch on
Q's aswell recently, the fist was invisible but the wire was still there, so we could still dodge it.
Can confirm, yesterday had Mundo throw invisible cleavers at me
The bug is actually present on all skillshot but Nid's Spear actually more annoying because you can lost half of your hp by one hit. The bug come from the fog of war.
Riot doesn't like stealth champions
. But stealth spears are okay man. 
What if there were a champion that was a stealth spear?
Riot doesnt care for the general population that isnt a big name streamer, LoL personality, or issues that dont affect the pro scene. Just look at how many times they lie to East Coasters with fake promises of ping optimization. All they give us is the Soon™ BS, I hate it so much.

Now, there are some glaring problems Riot glosses over, sure, but don't say they don't give a damn about the community. People whine and ask for lots of things (especially in the reddit forums) or report bugs and Riot is usually quick to act on it (Sion's ult not stopping on a kill, the 'taunty' bug, etc.)
I find it really hard to agree with this but after Yorick was played in the LCS he was immediately buffed in the next patch despite him not even being touched since his release. It's really hard to believe Riot is like this but at the same time it's not.
Oh and as an East Coast player I know the pain.

You do have to keep in mind that these buffs are conceived, designed, experimented with, put into PBE, then tweaked, so if it comes out right away after, that sorta does mean it's unrelated.
Eh it just seems like a really random buff, it wasn't a huge one by any means either so I wouldn't be surprised if riot didn't test it. Actually on a lot of sites that had PBE notes I don't think I saw a single one with Yorick in it
Please. You should be able to predict when she's throwing a spear and dodge it accordingly. Otherwise, the game is way too easy, and at that point you should just uninstall.
Good luck dodging invisible Nidalees spear from the fog of war.
Besides, the very production of the bug involves glitching her animations, making it impossible to judge the direction of the spear from Nid's character model.
the wind isn't the only thing that blew over your head....
The sarcasm is strong in this one.
Obvious answer: until they fix it
Realistic answer: They won't disable her or rush the fix until someone wins a game in the pro scene by abusing it.
It's been seen in the LCS multiple times over multiple seasons.
Its been replicated before. I'm not sure if there was a red-post on it, but the fix may be complicated. I am happy to see the community so enthusiastic about keeping their game nice and healthy regardless. =)
It's been replicated many times in many different ways. Sadly, the most recent exploit discovered is already confirmed to not be the root cause. So it will still exist after the fix - though less common.
Until it's actually included in the game as a feature. Then we'll get a horrible bug, and it'll turn visible. Nidalee will have to be buffed to compensate for the massive nerf this would be to her stealthy gameplay.
Until your eyes open gg hue hue
It's not just Nidalee. Just yesterday a ziggs was throwing invisible bombs at me all day in mid.
That's actually a different bug. There's the one(s) where projectiles will randomly be invisible. And there's the one where a specific ability will have no animation all game.
I've only seen the latter once, but it sounds like you got hit bit it instead.
Ya they should nerf the range...i'll be here all week, in a corner.
Nah nid can't do anything except spears now that her base health is literally gone.
and what better way with Invisible Spears! GET YOURS NOW FOR FREE! WATCH YOUR ENEMY TEAM RAGE AT THE PERFECT INVISIBLE SKILLSHOT WITH NO COUNTERPLAY!!!
ive had invisible mundo cleavers, invis nid spears, invis corki rockets, and invis lux qs and es. infact in urf, every nid had invis spears the ENTIRE game not just once or twice.
I just suffered from invisible spears... The nidalee had headhunter skin on, and it was URF mode. This was yesterday. The worst feeling was the fact that I had gotten behind due to some mouse click bug thing that makes the movement arrows red (happens from time to time) and then the fact that our Zed was being salty to me. Good thing I was Trundle... Shout out to An Trolling Noob for giving me the ideas to get back at him.
EDIT: OMG the amount of invisible projectile incidences is alarming...
After you learn to dodge them based off of the wind. 
When they can replicate it. They can't just disable her until they eventually figure it out, especially since it happens to other champions not just her.
although it's definitely more annoying on nidalee purely because of her damage output, this is a thing with all skillshots. was playing karma today and i was shooting invisible q's. it annoyed the enemy team a lot.
I forgot Riot was a magical company who said incantations and fixed everything. I've yet to see one of these spears, but if you see a Nidalee doing the spear animations just always sidestep. If you're low Hp that a spear can end you then you should not be near her or in the spear range But I do hope Riot fixes this so people can stop bitching about it.
Reason like this are why good nid players don't throw spears right at you, against a good nid player you have a better chance standing still than moving around randomly.
took them 3 years to nerf buff her so give it another 3 years for this fix compensation.
Today I was powerballin' at full speed and her spear kept following my every turn, like a sine wave and then it finally hit me. Something is very wrong with nidalee!
