During the laning phase her spear only works on morons. I played three games in a row laning against spear spamming AP Nidalees last week, and over the entire course of those three games I was hit by 2 spears. One of those times I was purposely blocking it for an ally because I was the tank. I wasn't even hiding behind minions. I was Singed so I was just running out in the open poisoning the enemy minions. All you have to do is pay attention to where the spear will come from and randomly move back and forth perpendicular to its direction of travel. That makes it hard for Nidalee to aim it. When you see it coming towards you, it's slow enough that it's easy to move out of its path. All their spear spamming made them run out of mana in lane every time, and since they didn't level heal, they were easy to bully around since they lacked sustainability. After she runs out of mana, all you have to do is get in her face any time she tries to farm. She's not threatening unless your low in health. The only thing I had to worry about were jungle ganks, but I use wards and pay attention to the mini map, so that didn't matter much.

Her spear works better after the laning phase when you can chunk them from behind walls at people who have no idea you're there, or when there's just so much stuff going on that it's hard to keep track of everything.
