Supports are presently highly valued for their CC which Nidalee doesn't have but she's still a good choice.

Her Heal gives attack speed and HEALS you. Which does still outclass Nunu who doesn't zone very well at all during the laning phase and is very dependant on you holding your lane well. Nunu also has problems in teamfights too. If you don't have magic pen your ult doesn't do damage. Not that you'll get to use your ult because someone always has one form of CC to use on you and that's all it takes.

Soraka has one of the strongest heals in the game no question but she would arguably be a worse Support choice than Nidalee given that Soraka has no mobility and doesn't safely harass. Hence why she has one of the strongest heals in the game.

I do see where a lot of NIdalee's go wrong though. They try to get a lot of AP and focus way to hard on trying to land the spears. They aren't in the support mindset like they need to be You really just buy a Tear and focus on zoning the opponent and letting your Marksman farm safely. After level six the focus down damage you can do is good but it really only works when the champ has CC and good trading powers.

Graves is a good choice with her as his passive and quickdraw chains with her heal and AS. Caitlyn for like really strong zoning. Vayne for faster rotation of the silver bolts (would counter a Soraka heal buff I might add) For anyone else the stacking of their AS and her AS heal buff would be fun but say Kog'maw and Tristana they would want tankier champs or champs with hard CC more than an AS speed burst.

Jinx could also work seeing as she already has the CC and anyone stepping on the bushwhack would make her ZAP do more damage and again the AS buff would probably help her low AS ratios for when she uses FIshbones and gives her over the top AS for when she has full stacks of Pow Wow. But mobility would be more desirable given her actual lack of dashes (not that her kit lacks anti gank and anti rushing tools though).
