Without a missile speed increase on Q, pretty substantial damage to her laning phase. To be expected, though, since that's the main point.

The Aspect of the Cougar buffs are decent if a little on the minimal side. A little less explody, but not going to help her under focus. She's going to be a bit better at assassin type work. If they wanted fighting against Nidalee to be less of a rage inducing experience, I think I'd wager they've simply relocated the focus of rage.

I'm going to contend that it's an all-around nerf. Don't think a champion breaking one, but I expect her to fall right out of the current setup. Going to need a little more to make her useful in teamfights, but the direction they are stepping towards seems pretty safe in respect to the overall sustain changes.

Anyway, the timing coincides nicely with my real life schedule. I'll enjoy troll building some CDR on her for 2.1 second pounces while I spend some quality time playtesting.
