Nidalee Champion Spotlight and Visual Upgrade

Posted on at 8:44 PM by Moobeat
Here is Riot's preview if Nidalee's upcoming visual upgrade and an updated champion spotlight for anyone who wants to take her for a spin now that she has a new look.

"Nidalee’s getting a Visual Upgrade this coming patch, so to accompany her new look, we’ve got a classic Champion Spotlight to give you a glimpse at her model, effects, and animations in action, along with some pro tips.

In this edition of the Champion Spotlight you’ll learn about successfully balancing Nidalee’s two forms, using Javelin Toss and Bushwhack to wear down enemies at a distance before closing in for the kill in cougar form. You’ll also see how Nidalee’s extreme mobility and potential for epic escapes can make her one of the best split push champions in League of Legends."

  1. The old models had big feet anyways.... I hope Riot is working on more visual changes for the older champions

  8. Half of NA population call her Needalee and ALL non-NA server still pronounce her as Needalee.

  9. nah, it's like to-may-toe/to-mah-toe
    some people say names like Veigar as Vee-Gur or Vy-Gar.
    or Darius as Dare-E-es/Dar-E-us
    All a matter of opinion in this case really.
    Phreak says Nee-Duh-Lee, HotshotGG says Nih-Duh-Lee

  10. Technically, it's correct. "Beast-ial", how most people say it, is also correct. Had to look that up after a spell in another game I play is called Bestial and people love to correct you if you say "Beast-ial" because there is no A.

  11. They are. They have a team specifically working on visual changes of old champions. If you go look at the champions. Any champion that has a black background and some sort of foggy color behind them. They will most likely be getting a visual upgrade. Those are all the really old champions.

  12. What about the new splash art ? How comes we discover it on the spotlight ? What about the PBE ?? The skins ?! D:

  13. Are they not going to do item builds anymore in spotlights? Nami's didn't have one either.

  14. Moo do u think they are pushing her update earlier to put the Viktor fix together?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yo, Phreak said spamming pounce is a good way to fill up a Tear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since pounce is free, doesnt it also not fill up a Tear now?

    ReplyDelete
  16. So her /d got slightly changed and her W in cougar form doesn't slow anymore? I think Riot ruined her :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. it still fills with free spells, don't worry

    ReplyDelete
  18. i don't think it ever slowed, to begin with.

  19. You can simply see it on the in-game shop now, for each situation ¬¬'

  20. No changes for her French Maid Splash??
    That piece of shit has nothing to do with her in-game now.
    There will never be an update for that?

  22. as if riot would care about viktor >.>

  23. "Phreak has slain Damiya"

    :(

  24. Phreak isn't the best at pronouncing things. The way he pronounces items during game commentaries always leaves me cringing.

    ReplyDelete
  25. "BEST-ial" is right; "beast-ial" is wrong.

  26. The tears says using skill or spending mana , using skill means any skill , using mana means skill like dmg per second (karth defile) fill the tear per cooldown.

  27. So excited. Nid's one of my favorite champs and she looks great in all skins! Gonna get a the Leopard one in the January sale too.

  28. I don't like how they nerfed her dance D:

  29. EUW here, NID-a-lee is how I pronounce it.

  30. And on that day, sense was finally made from the shambles of society.

  31. I think that was a limited skin, not a legacy. I hope I'm wrong, because I wanted to get it as well.

    ReplyDelete
  32. i think there'll be new splash art for all her skins :P

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm waiting patiently for my upcoming rework. Anyone else excited?

  35. Yeah it's truem never did. I'm so used to the "slow effect" after AoE ability power abilities LOL... Sorry for that.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yeah I saw that but I still like the "first one" xd

  37. Er, I'd rather not, seeing the runes they gave Nami!
