I kinda agree here, but in fact I think AP nidalee supporting way better. She has no natural cc, and only her heal which scales with AP. You can build those support items but you won't be very useful endgame except for items and small heals, whereas built Ap/support, will still have some useful items (you can build archangel staff and shurelyias for example), you can still poke with reasonable dmg, while also having the supportive component.

With the current Meta, support need at least one form of cc or tons of heals (Soraka) to be useful. Nidalee supp is only good for dmg and softening up kills.

that's my opinion on this.
