weak early game? do you even play her?

dude hit some spears they're ridiculously strong from early to late game if AP, and quite strong early even if you go AD

her traps reduces % armor and MR they're not here just for free wards and damage, if you use them well you can turn a fight around

nidalee has one of the best escapes of the game with her passive/ 330 MS cougar/ 3.5 second CD dash which goes through wall

the strongest long ranged poke in the game

if you run after a nidalee she can just pounce out and then throw a spear back  and often the chaser becomes the chased, don't chase the singed, don't chase nida either.

innately tanky

a heal giving AS, if you use her well its 60% AS bonus and 40% armor pen from traps, not many champs can say they have such steroids

as solo top her range gives her an advantage vs melee champs

also her cougar form doesn't use mana or anything

she's far from subpar but her skillcap is high, using well her traps/heal steroid/ hiting spears/ taking advantage of the mobility
