[ Continued ] Nidalee Gameplay Update

As usual, here's Riot Repertoir with today's changeslist for the Nidalee gameplay update.

"Changes following 6/6 for next PBE build: 

• Fixed a bug where Cougar form had very high Mana Regen per Level (sorry about that)
• Javelin Toss width increased to 25 from 20 (is 60 on Live)
• Aspect of the Cougar cooldown set to a flat 3 at all ranks from 3/2.5/2/1.5 

Today was a good day for continuing to get a grasp on her power level, and though I don't think we're done just yet, the increased confidence in her state is why you see so few changes to her today. I goofed and introduced that bug where she had to much mana regen in Cougar, so I'll want to watch some more and see how the testing goes on that, but largely things are headed in the right direction for release. I increased Javelin Toss width to 25 because it felt slightly too small at times. Fortunately, it seems that this change is testing well and is pretty well received. Since they are easier to dodge, it actually feels quite a bit better to hit them as Nidalee, and situationally not so unfair to get hit by them as opponents. It also opens up some cool plays for firing between minions and other champions. As for the R cooldown changes, a conversation I had with Ezreal (the designer, not champion :p ) got me thinking that the scaling down R cooldown wasn't all that important at this point anymore. Feedback showed that Nidalee wanted an R cooldown that didn't screw her out of being able to use Hunt procs when they occurred right after she left Cougar form, so with that taken care of, it made sense that her R cooldown simply scale with her CDR at its low value, rather than both CDR and a scaling cooldown per rank. 

The feedback I've received from the PBE so far has been great. Thanks so much! -Repertoir"
