They didn't 'nerf' the MR gain p/ lvl, they just put it on par with other ranged champions. It's a more than acceptable change.

As for the resistances nerf on cougar form it's also in order. Why? Because Nidalee's spike in power from the transition of lvl 5 to lvl 6 is just way too high. It's not like cougar form has a high cooldown and forces her to stay there for long periods of time either. No, she changes at will between both forms with almost no delay. Six skills champions always dominate lanes regardless of matchups and that's why Elise, Jayce and Nidalee HAD to be tuned down, at one point or another. People might think "yeah sure, but she doesn't have an ultimate". Just add the base values and scalings of cougar form's three abilities. 40 (+ 100% AD) + 125 (+ 40% AP) + 150 (+ 40% AP). No other champion has this kind of damage in their ultimate at lvl 6. Like not even close. And Nidalee can have this rotation up in under 6 seconds, most ultimates have at least 100 secs CD at lvl 1. And no, these abilities won't miss because kiting Nidalee in top lane is impossible. I'm not saying Nidalee is OP, I'm just saying the concept of six skills is always an issue for any regular champion to deal with, specially in top lane where trades are such a decisive factor.

So yeah, these nerfs are acceptable and I'd even go as far as nerf the base movement speed of Nidalee from 335 to 325. But that's probably just me.
