User blog comment:Shigfugjum/Claw AND Spear: A Proposed Nidalee Rework/@comment-4888212-20140426024159

not bad. i like it.

but  why the takedown nerf?

i also like the start in cougarform. however morella/phreak once stated that it will not happen that nidalee will be able to transform into a cougar at level 1.

imagine starting with W in lane. just poke all day and jump away should they try to counterplay.

the thing i like about it is that it might enable nida to jungle.

tbh tho, this doesnt feel like a powershift, but a straightup nerf on each and every of her abilities.

to encourage her going tanky/melee, you should either increase scalings in cougarform, or increase the base damage.

i would like to see some synergy between her forms, like "takedown deals increased damage to enemies who have sprung nidalees trap".

or stuff like "swipe has a greater AoE while nidas heal-regeneration is active on her".

after all you axed a 100% AP ratio. give some love back.
