Nidalee Changes

Patch 7.2a

NerfCurrent Patch

Nidalee's jungle damage has exceeded our expectations, especially in the hands of skilled players. We're trimming some of her burst to give squishier opponents more room to respond.

Pounce

  • Base Damage: 65/100/135/170 (Based on ability (4)’s level) → 55/90/125/160 (Based on ability (4)’s level)

Aspect of the Cougar

  • Bonus Armor and Magic Resist Ability Power ratio: 3% → 2.5%

Patch 7.0a

Nerf

Nidalee’s strong early-game damage and high mobility make her difficult to contest. Because of this, we’re nerfing some of her power in the earlier stages of the game so she can no longer dominate the jungle too freely.

Pounce

  • Base damage reduced from 80/115/150/185 to 65/100/135/170.
  • Reduced cooldown increased from 2/1.75/1.5/1.25 seconds to 2.75/2.25/1.75/1.25.
