@Reds Not just another Nid Q_Q thread

I honestly have no problem with Nidalee as a champ right now. What I do have a problem with is her visuals. You know what I mean; the spear that you appear to have dodged but hits you anyway.

If the stated counterplay for a champ is "dodge the spears," it's not fair to dodge the spears, and still be hit.

I honestly don't care if you'd rather reduce the spear's hitbox or enlarge the animation; either is acceptable. But I'd encourage you to do one or both, even before doing a rework, because I think that would take a lot of the toxicity out of her kit.

I agree, and I also have no clue as to why EVERY ability does not match the graphic or vice-versa. Currently in live, the hitbox is wider and goes slightly farther than its graphic.

Now, I want to clarify that I do think that Nid's kit is anti-interaction, and that a rework could make her a lot more fun to play, as and against. My ideas for a kit rework are here, on an actual nid Q_Q thread.

My point is that her current kit is anti-fun, in that it's not fun to play with her or against her (it is tons of fun to play as her). But it is not toxic; that's an issue with the hitbox.

I think this could be solved with the same approach they used for DrMundo 's cleaver: make it more narrow and more of a skill shot. Seems to have worked pretty well for that.
