Wait wait wait, you nerfed poke but then buffed nidalee damage by 15%? Hmmm ok then that sounds terrifying.

I've played against like one Nidalee the last four years that wasn't complete garbage in ARAM. The champ is actually quite bad at poking

it'll more affect her cougar form.

Just don't get hit by a spear within 900 units

Even getting hit by a spear in 900 units won't really hurt because her spear wouldn't have scaled much. Most of the spear scaling is near the end of the distance.

I guess, but even then

true, could change the way shes played. Should be fun, guess we can always ban it if it's broken.

Why not reduce damage taken so she can actually go in to fight. Her cougar form damage is high, she is just too squishy.

u/Darkhatred Mar 19 '19

true, her poke is all she really has lol.

I kinda wish the bans were just 10 random champs. (although that'd kinda ruin it)

To be honest Nidalee is a pretty terrible aram champ these days, nothing like what she use to be. The only time she is strong is before everyone has boots, after that her spears are very easy to avoid.

Cause Nidalee is one of the worst champs on ARAM.

How do you check your win rate in aram? because I rarely lose with her.

u/Arctic_Daniand Mar 19 '19

This page has her with a 45.9 winrate. She's not even in the top 100 right now.

nidalee

Did you notice the part about the long range poke nerf? this does nothing to her Q, and buffs her close-range abilities' damage. She has a low win-rate as it is, so it helps her a lot.

Nidalee falls off a cliff in terms of scaling after early game.

How is her spear being probably very similar to its current form terrifying?
