The new nidalee

First off, I want to thank riot on an amazing job.

However, I feel there are still a few holes in her kit.

Her takedown deals too much damage, and its ad ratio is bit high. I think that reducing the ad scaling, and minorly increasing its damage per % missing hp would help.

The hunt is near impossible to trigger in lane.

Any half decent lane opponent can dodge the new spears. and the traps prefer minions to champions, even when the trap is placed directly on top of the enemy champion. This makes it hard to trigger her 700 range pounce, and thus she has trouble trading inlane.

Fizz/ akali/ zed/ katarina all have gapclosers that can be easily triggered at a range much farther than nidalees. Given that nidalee has extreme trouble triggering the hunt and thus being able to W>E>Q for damage, I think that making traps prefer champions or deal an aoe effect would go a long way toward making a better laning experience

Her primary role is an assassin, so why must she jump through hoops to trade inlane?

Anyone have any thoughts/ opinions?

TL, DR - take down damage is too high, triggering " the hunt" debuff is much too hard

The takedown ad ratio is only a little higher than it was before, though I do agree that hunt can be a pain to trigger. Your opponent has to be sleeping or stunned to get hit with one of the new spears/skill shots are hard/I'm bad at this game.
