That's the point of Cougar form. Cougar form is where she is supposed to get her sustained damage. My problem is that your trying to make her human form has high sustain damage as well.

Yes, her early game will not be the strongest duelist, but she step aside that weakness quite a bit until level 6 because of her sustain and poke. Once she hits level 6, her cougar form can start being the duelist you want.

Another thing, if you wanted to make her a better duelist, then why were you also adding so much team buffs and benefits into her kit then. This is why your remake was so flustering to read for me because you say one thing, but half your changes was pointed towards a different goal.

I honestly would not care that much about the cooldown if 'she' wasn't a range supportish champion. The issue with this is that you're trying to make her a duelist by giving her this. That's my main issue. For example, if this 100% uptime attack speed buff was only possible on cougar, I would be a lot less resistent. (I'm not suggesting that you move it or anything).

And also about your 'plenty of champions give same type buffs be up 100%' and I can say, 'they are all melee by default". Give me two champions that's not melee that has a self-buff that has 100% uptime. Kog is the closest one, but even he doesn't have 100% uptime.

Nidalee with this effect is not melee, she's a range champion. She shouldn't be getting melee type bonuses because she is range which makes her safe. That's why the cooldown is such an issue (with along all the other buffs you used to have to make her a stronger DPSer).
