Pounce always did magic (+AP) damage - I assume the mean Takedown?

100% AD scaling magic damage is arguably stronger early game than physical damage, since it bypasses armor. It falls off a bit late game since armor pen doesn't benefit - but no AD Nidalee I've ever seen bought armor pen anyway. The rest of the Cougar changes arguably buff AD Nidalee: available at level 1, longer Pounce range, more reliable Pounce and Swipe targeting, more speed when chasing, sight, etc.
