Why does noone play her AD carry? I mean, her range isn't worse than what Graves has, she has a heal with nice attack speed steroid, which means that her support doesn't need to have sustain, of all ranged champions, only Kennen, Teemo, Twitch and Orianna have a higher base attack speed, she can escape from everything in cat form, she can finish off people quite easily in cat form (in a 1v1 that cat form > anything else), she has a trap that grants vision for a stupidly long time, and you can use it for example to get vision of those supports in the bushes, which means your support has to do less, and she has a great long range finisher/zoner on her ranged Q (if the enemy doesn't dodge it).

Just compare Nidalee's bonus attack speed to others:

Nid: Heal + 7 sec 60% 10 second cd

Graves: Short dash + 4 sec 70% 14 second cd, effective cd (with reduction from autoattacks) about 7-8 seconds.

Tristana: 7 sec 90% 20 second cd

Corki: 10% of AD as bonus true damage, how is that even worth being called steroid?

Ezreal: 50% steroid as long as you are hitting your skillshots.

Varus: 40% steroid after kill

Ashe: 35% slow permanent.

Okay, Ashe beats all. But still... Nid has a pretty strong one.
