975 / Legacy

Here's a bugs & feedback thread from RiotKateyKhaos on Challenger Nidalee:
"A new Challenger approaches! 
We're kicking off the 2016 season with Challenger Nidalee! 
Nidalee was selected to receive the 2016 Challenger skin due to her impact in the most recent competitive season. Her kit update as well as jungle buffs made her a solid contender for any team. She dominated the jungle and led several teams to victory! 
Challenger Nidalee will be 975 RP* and is legacy. This skin includes: 
  • A new model and texture - she's ready for battle!
  • New pink particle effects for both Human and Cougar forms!
  • New recall animations for both Human and Cougar forms!
Challenger Nidalee is now available to play on PBE! Please note that PBE content is still a work in progress! We always find bug reports and feedback super helpful, as well as constructive feedback, so feel free to comment in the thread below! Likewise, if you’ve got any questions, post ‘em here, and we’ll do our best to answer them. 
*Prices on PBE subject to change."
