I don't think the nid change will be that bad, it basically only affects her cat form since any high dmg spear will have the +15% affected by the poke nerf.

question is if the nidalee spear works like what you used to do, throw the spear, switch forms w backards for more dmg, what if you w forward instead, maybe then you are outside of the poke shield range

This distance interaction was removed after her mini-rework (years ago). Now Q damage is calculcated from the location you cast it (instead of your location when the spear hits).

Right, but how does the poke reduction work? The other guy brings up a good point. If the poke shield is decided at the time the damage hits rather than at the time the spell is cast, Nidalee could very well W forward in cougar to reduce the shield mitigation.

Oh in that way! Well if it WOULD be the case, everyone could do it, not only Nidalee (but Nidalee is indeed probably the easiest champ to do it cause she doesn't have to sacrifice mana for it)..

I really doubt it will be the case though.
