Common misconceptions about your main

i am making this thread barbecue there seems to be a LOT of misconceptions about my main

And in the interest of learning what i may have thought wrong about other people mains, i think it would be a good idea for other people to post some things that many of us may think about their mains.

so if you don't want to read this post from this point on-wards because "TLDR", then just post misconceptions about yours

one thing i have noticed is that almost every misconception people say about nidalee, WAS true at one point in time. so its not like people have bad info.. they have have very, outdated... info.

so without further ado... Nidalee Common misconceptions:

1. Nidalee isn't an assassin False, nidalee currently IS an assassin, she has not always been so, pre-rework nidalee (aka before 4.10) nidalee was a mage, between 4.10 and 4.16 nidalee was a diver in patch 4.17 nidalee became an assassin and has has been ever since.

2. nidalee can 1 shot squishes false, before her rework in patch 4.10 the vasty majority of her damage came from her spear. ever since her rework, the vast majority of her damage comes her cougar form takedown,

3. nidalee can just sit back and throw spears all day false, while it is certainly POSSIBLE to reach a point with nidalee where you CAN "throw spears forever", people normally say this as if you can do this "at any point". to reach a point where you can throw spears forever you would either needs to build (which isn't done because although the final stats would be absolutely perfect for her, nidalee is an early game champ, and if you grab you would skip your biggest powerspike. otherise to throw spear indefinitely you would need either 2 ocean drag and a blue buff, or 3 ocean drag. (just a plain blue with 1 ocean is not even unless you also go back to the jungle to proc in which cause you left the fight.

4. nidalee has never been balanced false, nidalee WAS balanced between patches 4.17 and 5.1 (this was about a 6 month period of time) yes it is true that nidalee has never been very balanced "in the jungle", but she HAS been balanced. and during 4.17 to 5.1 she had approx 50% winrate in top, and mid and about a 48% winrate in support at ALL ELOS

5. nidalee has always been a jungler. false. nidalee became a jungler in patch 5.2, at which time she still could do her other roles (top mid and support) it wasn't until nerfs starting hitting her to make her weaker in the jungle that her other lanes became unplayable.

6. nidalee was reworked into a jungler again false, nidalee was reworked in patch 4.10 as with every major rework small tweaking was done afterwards her last tweak was at 4.17 at which point she became "balanced" it wasn't until 5.2 (an entire season after her rework) that riot made her a jungler.

7. nidalee can win any 1v1 false. and this really is the only reason that i i have seen that pretty much has zero basis in truth. nidalee cannot 1v1 anything, there was a small window between patch 4.10 and 4.17 where nidalee pretty much had no counters as a top laner, but that was fixed in 4.17. as long as she has been in the jungle she has NEVER been able to "1v1" anything. yes there have been many points where she could either 1v1 you OR get away, meaning you couldnt really kill her, but at the same time, you can force her away from things with a large number of champions.

8. nidalee has a 54% winrate and is op. false.. nidalee HAD a 54% winrate during the worlds patch or 6.18, but ONLY in diamond + the same patch her bronze winrate was 46% her silver winrate was 48%, her gold was 49%, and her plat was 51%

9. nidalee has not been nerf since worlds flase..um idk where you were in patch 6.21 but, anyways.. also 6.22 had a MUCH bigger nerf to nid than even 6.21 did which bring us to number 10

10. nidalee was NOT nerf in 6.22 false, while her champ has no changes specific to it, strength of the ages was removed. this mastery was the ONLY viable mastery for her, in fact the i think 12% of nidalee that DID use thunderlords, has a drumroll plz 42% win rate. which guess what? is EXACTLY her winrate after strength of the ages was removed.

i mean WOW what a concept..

champion has 48% win rate with strength of the ages in patch 6.21 champions has 42% win rate with thunderlords in patch 6.21

patch 6.22 removed strength of the ages (all nidalee are force to go thunderlords) champion has a 42% winrate in patch 6.22 with thunderlords

i mean WOW guys.. didn't take a freaking genius to see that coming now did it?

... anyways that is it for nidalee

i hope you learned at least _something _about her.

and reminder, this thread is NOT "only" "about nidalee", yes i made it to explains misconceptions about her. but i ALSO made it so i can learn (and others can learn) about the champ we do not play and might think are "op" or hard to face. or frankly just stuff that epople say about your champ that just isnt true. i want to hear it, because even if no other person besides myself learns anything about your champ, that is enough for me.
