Riot - You basically Remove Feral Flare for the game. But you didn't even Nerf Nidalee? At all?

Seriously? She's the DEFINITION of ANTI-FUN. I don't want to sit around and wait for significant Nidalee nerfs to never come (Just like those Lee Sin nerfs lol).

You need to do something next patch. If you actually are unbiased, you will nerf Nidalee. Immediately. This champion is the definition of Anti-Fun.

It's a lot easier to nerf one item that several champs are abusing than to rework a champ who's major gameplay element is also the major complaint.

They are in the process of working on a rework, but these things can't happen overnight. Champions are a lot more complicated than an item.

Yea, it´s just ridiculous...Nid dominates competitive play since 4patches ago and still there´s nothing to stop her extremly unhealthy playpatterns (and nth. to bring soraka in line aswell) - while FF didn´t cause any major problems in anything remotely close to highlvl 5v5 and still gets completely removed from the game asap. And the rework really is a bad excuse...they had the same with gragas and kassadin, but both of those got a flat nerf till the rework had been ready.

I heard she will get a rework, but not sure when.

So you want another Olaf ? Because being too heavy handed with Javelin Toss nerfs is basically going to remove Nid from the game. Unfortunately, this isn't a situation that can be fixed with the wave of a magic wand so it is NOT going to happen next patch nor the patch after I'd guess. This isn't due to bias toward Nidalee, it's due to the need to bring her in line WITHOUT destroying what makes her viable (and fun for the one playing her) in the first place.

Side note: I really don't see where item 3160 has been removed from the game. Sure there's a slight stat nerf and the heal doesn't scale, but all of your kills and assists from successful ganks (Hello, XinZhao . Nice to see you, Shyvana . Always a pleasure to have you, MasterYi .) count toward the transformation, thereby removing the biggest drawback of the item (being incentivised to sit in jungle and do nothing when you could be helping your team and getting more gold for yourself). I for one think this will turn out to be a net buff to a certain few junglers if the meta doesn't shift completely away from them because people are scared off.
