Riot said that this incoming heal nerf is just the start of their sustainability nerfs. I read that as saying that dealing with champs like Udyr and Lee Sin etc. at top who have crazy self-sustain will be done once Riot figures out how to deal with it (like someone on here has said a few times this may require the discussed jungle reworks that Guinsoo tweeted about some time ago though, because right now if you kill the sustain on those champs you kill a lot of their jungle prowess too, which Riot is probably hesistant about).

In what sense is a 65% increase in mana cost on her heal (which was easily the spell you cast most often in lane) offset by a 10% decrease in the mana cost on her spear? How often were you really spamming her spear in lane anyways?

And the point is, you can't just nerf Nidalee's heal, leave all the other ridiculous sustain heroes the same, and expect her to still be a balanced solo top. If they did all of these changes at once then sure, I'd agree that everything's fine because frankly her heal IS too strong. The problem is, there's a shitload of sustain abilities that are too strong right now and they've only nerfed one of them unless there are a bunch of extra sustain changes they didn't mention in the patch preview (counting common solo heroes only).

They're wanting to make her more active in teamfights, which I think changing the cougar form will do pretty well... All this means is that if you're not going to get the 10% dodge and you want more sustain in lane because of the nerfed heal, you can take SoS in the defensive tree instead of nimbleness.

4 second cooldown on pounce... wow that sucks. I'm absolutely going to build morello's evil tome first now and steal bluebuff from enemy or my jungler(depending on blue/purple side). Probably going to replace my AP runes since the ap-ratio on heal is pretty bad now(mana regen instead maybe?). And my dodge runes as well because of passive-cat change =/

The CD pounce isn't all that bad. Just run cdr blues + 21 util and you'll already be at less than 3 seconds. With blue you can get maxed CDR and like 2.1 seconds pounces (I don't remember the exact number)

I've been building a tear early. Heal costs insane mana now so you need a tear because you'll run oom even with blue. With deathcap and AA your heal will still be really strong. Javelin is a 4 second cooldown with 40cdr now.

Uh ... what? Full CDR blues is 5.85%, the offense + util mastery puts you at 14.85%. That only puts you at a 3.4 second pounce, need another 10% CDR to even get it back to where it was before.

EDIT: Also, CDR blues are 100% useless on every other hero in the game so you need a rune page specifically for Nidalee now.

Hm Hotshot went RoA. He has the same idea as me. I was thinking whether I should RoA or AA. I'll try RoA next game and see how it feels. It definitely makes more sense with how you have to be in cougar form a lot more now.

With only 8 cdr, I'm at 3.19 secs. I just need cdr quints.

Are you sure the tooltip just isn't wrong? Patch notes said 4 seconds while your results would indicate 3.5 seconds (which is what the original notes posted by Shurelia said).

How did you find out for sure?

Honestly, what pisses me off the most about these Nidalee changes is the fact that Riot (and Phreak in particular) continue to act like they buffed her or something when they in fact fucked the shit out of most of her kit. They took her from a cool multidimensional character with a slightly too strong heal to basically a spearbot.

I took my ipod's stopwatch and pressed it at the same time as I pressed pounce. 4 seconds.
I pm'd moonbear about it.

Ok this patch Tank Nid is pretty sick. Just use heal for ASPD buff on carry or yourself and cougar to the frontline.

Boots + 3hp solotop
Warmogs
Atmas
Spirit Visage
Triforce or FoN

Not sure about Spirit Visage but I like it more than Frozen heart. It also buffs your heal by ~30 at lvl 5.

Apen reds // Hp per level Yellows // CDR blues // Apen quints

To be fair, Riot DID want Nidalee to use Cougar form more in fights, and this change does just that.
