your telling the wrong person to learn to play. I can state her strengths and weaknesses all day. I don't expect you to agree but it has nothing to do with my play style. Nidalee's kit has lots of holes in it. early game is weak, mid game is where she is strong, and the late game she just falls off. Generally champions with a weak early game have strong late games.

I believe her major problem is she is too squishy to be melee and only burst damage with no real good way to get out once she gets in unless she is in a small skirmish. Her scaling in cougar is weak while the base damage is really good. Problem is once she uses her burst she has to back out. This works fine in lane because you can rush in burst rush out repeat but in team fights she just gets blown up.

In human form her only damage spell is Javelin Toss and she has no CC and very short attack range. This is the main reason her early game is weak and partially the only reason she is only good top lane. Her attack range is too short to be able to trade in mid or bot and the reason why you can't use her as an AD carry. She has no CC so if she gets ganked she has to flee with her ult. Javelin Toss does mediocre damage unless it hits from afar so if enemies close the distance you pretty much have no damage unless you ult.

Did I mention she is the only melee with 100 attack range?
