"No other champ in the game has her combination of poke, sustain and disengage." ~ NeonSpotlight

Her healing is a issue, and is the most toxic part of her kit. Now that, I would love to see either get rework a little or nerf. That thing is so freaking strong when Nid has some AP. It's so crazy with its low cooldown and high AP ratio. Outside of that, Nidalee's poke and disengage are really the only things making her a viable choice (I also know she can burst someone down with her cougar form, but no one plays her for that reason alone).

" 'It may be super super annoying to play against'

... that's practically the definition of a toxic influence." ~ Shaw Fujikawa

Shaw, if you define toxic influence by that way, everything in the game is toxic by some small degree. Every ability is an annoyance at some slight degree because they aren't positive.

But the reason why I don't like seeing people toss out the word 'toxic' so freely is because, by doing that, the word 'toxic' has the exact same meaning as 'I think X is too strong'. That's all and that's my issue with people using it so carelessly.

Riot only uses the word on 'designs' and rarely uses it on actual strength of a champion. Something with a toxic design has nothing to do with actual strength (i.e the numbers), it's just that a toxic design is only noticeable to the community at large when the toxic design is powerful.

But I digress because if you can't look past the numbers of the ability, then nothing I say can make you see what I mean. The numbers do indeed make dodging them feel worthless (which I agreed in my initial post), but my point is, it's not toxic (i.e it doesn't need to be reworked to fine an overall balance in her kit).
