Visual Upgrade: Nidalee, the Bestial Huntress



  • Many of you have been asking for a new look for Nidalee. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve heard you, and that you can expect a complete Visual Upgrade for the Bestial Huntress in an upcoming patch.

    In addition to a new model for both lady and cougar, this update includes new animations and spell effects across both of her forms. We’ll also be upgrading the model and splash art for all of Nidalee’s skins, so you can enjoy the latest fashion, whether you’re a French Maid or a Pharaoh.

    The next time you feel the need to go swiftly slinking through the brush, ready to pounce on an unsuspecting foe, do so knowing you look stunningly stylish.
  • TEAM RELAUNCH, GO!

    Thank all the team for their great job for us =)
    The team is epic and awesome in its epic awesomeness. I just joined the Relaunch team so I had no hand in Nidalee whatsoever. But Rioters like Grumpy Monkey, Xray Alpha, Ququroon and others made this possible.

    In the near future we'll be explaining more about the relaunch process, taking feedback on what you'd like to see improved in champions and really putting in a ton of effort to make timeless characters live up to the quality bar we've set with our current champions.

    Onward!

    I absolutely love the direction you guys are going in with these visual upgrades. Soraka's, Twisted Fate's, etc etc all look incredible, and the small details to stay true to lore and character are great. I love nidalee's new traps!!
    Grumpy Monkey is mainly the dude to thank in these instances in terms of the base model upgrades. He's been leading the charge and has a knack for really revitalizing our older champions. It's my pleasure to be joining the team to help out as the dedicated concept artist. A lot of what I've been working on (mainly the reason I haven't been posting much) feeds directly into reworks.

    As the team grows hopefully we'll be picking up steam to deliver these on a swift basis. The team is small but it's full of really talented dudes. I'm extremely happy to be working with them =)
  • I am glad you guys like the visual upgrade. We excited to finally get it out to you guys!
    to answer the question that keeps popping up, yes snow bunny, bewitching, and leopard also got the upgrade.
