Well I can think of a few abilities that do damage and nothing else, problem is they are not all, or at least two of them, on the same champion. Heimer's missiles, Annie's Incinerate, Corky's Missile Barrage, Mundo's Cleaver, Galio's Smite, Karthus' Lay waste, Lux's Finales Funkeln... I won't name them all, but these ability do raw damage even if the area of effect varies on some of them (cones, skillshots, line effects, small targeted AoEs).

Overall, it's annoying that Nidalee has six abilities, four of which are basically the same thing. Considering today's games and champions, it's hard to go by without any form of debilitating effect. Most new champions come with some form of CC (stun, taunt, slow, silence or whatever). It's also somewhat sad that she's tagged as a melee DPS in Riot's champion rotation. While I understand most of her damage output is in her Cougar form, it's not where she excels all the time, specially in team fights.

It would really help if Cougar form was not just 3 damage abilities without much flavor or variance. That bleed DoT could be a start AND something unique and original. Maybe even make it a "ressource" like Kennen's marks.
