Speaker Wrote:Why is that good? He couldn't start to attack the blue buff for 15 seconds after it spawned, and it required a tremendous amount of set up which could be disrupted. He then lived with just 28 hp left. Not to mention Nidalee is one of the strongest laners in the game, and shouldn't be taking ignite to begin with. And that you need a strong ganker out of the jungle with the current metagame, and with this setup, you wouldn't even have a smite.I found this an interesting application for a character's skill, one which you wouldn't normally think of.
So....why is this worth a watch?
Shaco's boxes are well known, but it makes me wonder what other skills could be used in that manner.
Running through your points:
- No more set up than Shaco requires.
- Yes it was definitely close, but as can be seen at the end, with the blue buff Nidalee can easily and quickly heal back up.
- Your second to last sentence makes no sense.
Noone is suggesting Nidalee should be a dedicated jungler, but all too frequently in solo queue there is no jungler on your team. This seems like a good way of allowing you to harass more early game (plentiful mana) as well as denying the opposition jungler a free blue buff.
- I see no problem with ignite on Nidalee.
As you say, she's a strong laner with a vicious poke. Often a low health opponent will stay longer than they should in the lane, huddling underneath the tower. Ignite helps with that.
But if I did, I'd be interested in this video and would probably try it out (even though it may turn out to be utterly impractical).
If there's a Speaker worthiness rating that is required to be met before posting ontopic in this thread, by all means direct me to it and I'll subscribe.
Until then, a little less confrontational tone would be more... pleasant.
In other news, it was good to see Roland back online the other day.
I didn't realise how much I missed the "I am Shen, I am INVINCIBLE!" rants until they were gone.
Edit:
Cull pointed out that over chat that Nidalee should really be soloing mid or top, which doesn't fit in with this Nidalee going bottom/ potentially missing a wave to get blue.
Agree there, point taken.
