User blog comment:Sagee Prime/Nidalee rework Final/@comment-4022742-20121005130906

Prowling Predator 20% of AP as bonus magic damage, this innate pretty much fixes her to the AP Role. As a support you will have too much chance to kill someone with it and for the AD-bruiser build it does absolutely nothing. Going hybrid will be ambiguous since AP will just be that much stronger.

Bushwhack I do not support this straight up steal and over powering of Kayle's innate. All the trap really needs is to apply a 8-18% slow to anyone that walks into it, and reducing the reveal duration to 8 seconds.

Primal Surge Straight up Nerf of support Nidalee. On top of that its 15% lifesteal and spellvamp in one. Combined with a hextech pretty much means you got 30% each, steamroll tanking in cougar is gonna be a problem then.

Aspect of the cougar Part of countering cougar should be to catch her out of cougar and dealing more damage to her that way. If you make her able to switch whule stunned. That's going to punish skillful play by the opponents.

Overall I know Nidalee has problems. But reworking her like this is only going to get her on the ban list for the rest of eternity.
