ok, a bit of ranting


 * since when is Nida even considered "viable"? just a few months ago she was classified as UP since her tremendous mana costs, and now suddenly when some guy at high elo/LCS/Twitch/Championship play started poking enemies with spears everyone wants to play with the puss-puss. :/

NOT SAYING she is not viable, but rather asking "what has changed??"


 * 2nd thing- her Q is basically the only safe damage output; how bout treating her like Lux? except that she has most of the damage on 1 ability rather than 3. and it's not aoe,  it's single target linear skillshot. U get better at skillshots, you get rewarded. You don't get better at predicting javelin paths, you get punished. Play 40 games as Nida in a row, and you'll get better at predicting the spears. Or just main her as she is while you can, because if this bs about her Q won't stop, they will make a second Karma out of her.


 * 3rd- Why would you nerf the damage on javelin? it would just make it not worthy maxing, and she wouldn't be played at all as AP. It's Funny, how everyone is so eager to nerf the Q, but ask about a similar kit problem @ Gangplank (just 1 skill of ranged poke)  and I bet noone wants to remove Crits from GP's Parrrley.

And URF was dominated by Zed, (Sona, Heca, Ali), Fizz and Ezreals. Nida was annoying, and barely-but still- manageable.
