Of course i know about the other bugs. I know about most bugs. What, are you surprised Nidalee has a few? Newsflash. This game has currently 171 confirmed unfixed bugs. You would be hard-pressed to find a champion who doesnt have a couple of bugs.

Doesnt explain a complete lack of reports. Not to mention, the opposing player might raise hell if he gets hit despite missing, but the player himself definitily will raise hell if his spear just goes through and doesnt hit. Not to mention, again, throw it along the tilt axis, and you still see the same effect. Now you arent completely wrong, the visual is slightly misleading (roughly 5 units). But before you couldnt see that. Because the hitbox was so much bigger than the animation it just overrode the effect.

Lets also compare something else. Distance, damage, safety, poke potential. Akali: really short range, no poke. Leblanc: really short range, no poke. Katarina, no poke, incredibly unsafe. Talon: no poke, incredibly unsafe. Yasuo: no range, mediocre poke at best, incredibly unreliable. Zed: well, QSS and Zhonyas counter it. He has poke though, and he is pretty safe.

Not really. Talons order is always e-w-aa-q-hydra-ult. Maybe in some situations w-e and so on, but thats rare. Akali: ult, q, aa, e ult, ult. Sure, you can mix up the order, but that hardly changes much, seeing as how you always start with ult. Kat can start with q or e, but come lategame starting with e loses too much time, so its also kinda locked. Leblanc: Q, Ult, E. W to get in range, of course. Thats pretty locked. Yasuo: ... well he only kinda autoattacks, soooo. Also, know what all of these have in common? They all have to start with getting in range. Also, While Nidalees non-hunt cougar combo isnt all that impressive, its still quite powerful. And again, max range spear is crazy powerful. If you just want the hunt, go for close range ones.It is easy to apply, just not from afar. Thats supposed to be that way, and thats good.

Oh, she is far from useless. She has the problem of lacking CC, but she brings so much raw damage, she makes up for it. Her ganks are pretty good, her map control is great, her mobility is great, and come lategame she is rather useful. The only problem is that your top lane needs to have initiation for ... obvious reasons. And yes, they did need to nerf the hitbox, it was a problem after all.
