4) "Nidalee isn't a bursty mage and can't be an AD carry because she only has one ability that scales with AD and an attack speed steroid"

Well, ClariS, Tristana doesn't have a -single- ability that scales with AD. Her attack-speed buff is stronger than Nidalee's by 30%. Tristana's AS buff is limited by the fact that it only provides the AS buff and its cool-down is twice as long as Nidalee's. In human form, Nidalee has 310 base movement speed that increased by 15% whenever she is in a bush. Compared to any AD carry (with the exception of Miss Fortune) she moves lightening fast.

She has plenty of burst as an AP carry. Her spear alone is scarier than Veigar's ultimate at max range. If an AD carry gets hit by a spear at moderate-close range and then gets a "R-W-E-Q" combo to the face, you'll likely have a dead AD carry on your hands. Try it sometime.

^ So by your defense for Nidalee being a AD carry, that means all mages are like that because all mages can be so-so at AD carry. Build IE, PH, LW, BT, and any range champion can do somewhat well with it. Look at Annie, look at Malzhar, look at Orinna, look at Kennen, look at Brand, look at any of them. If they have the range of over 500, they can do it half decently, they can be somewhat successful with AD carry builds, but does that make them a AD carry champion?

Trish has range the second best range in the game, something that greatly promotes being an AD carry. She is freaking safe while playing AD because of range and mobility. Nidalee does not have that since her range is 200 range shorter then trish.

And also, you honestly ignore the fact that I call her Human form a not mage. Not her Cougar form. I acknowledge her cougar form can burst people down, but straight to my point, one nuke on a champion (in this case, her human form only) does not qualify her as a mage. In a teamfight, no one in your team can depend on your human form to nuke at least one person death or even deal a lot of damage. Transforming into cougar to burst someone down, does not change the fact that the human form can't burst someone down, which is my point of her human form being not a mage.

Another things, the lanes she plays on does not delicate her roles. Being a jack-of-all-trades does not matter which lane you can play, it's about her roles she fills in a team.
