tbh this rework is meant as a way of going beyond simple tweaks and is really there for brainstorming for ideas. Making it 100% balance is impossible in this form of conceptualization and is not my intention. What I have gained from this is good insight on what would make current Nidalee much better. I will list off what I have so far:

1.
 * The change to her passive - Extra damage on auto attacks based on 20% of AP that synergies with takedown. This could also be changed to a passive effect on both human and cougar Q that is only gained from ranking Q.

This boosts early game power of AP Nidalee and boosts cougar damage out put.

2.
 * Javelin Toss reliability buffs with/without AD ratios - faster speed, lower base, and higher scaling.

Makes Javelin Toss weaker early game for the idiots that can't dodge but makes them stronger later and mush easier to land so at least it should hit more often making up for the loss in damage against good players or bad.

3.
 * Bushwhack - at the very least mana cost reductions

While the benefits of maxing it go up the mana cost goes up way too much for how unreliable it is.

4.
 * Primal Surge - really high mana cost.

I'd like it to synergize with her kit better and for it to not have a cast time. It's really nice when you don't have to target yourself. I wouldn't be outside removing the ability to cast on allies but I really don't want to completely remove support aspects.

5.
 * Aspect of the cougar - simple tweaks to unit collisions and AP scaling on defenses would work wonders on AP Nidalee.

6.
 * Pounce - Broken wings controls would do allot of good hear.

7.
 * Swipe - This seriously needs something. All it does is poor scaling raw damage.  It needs better scaling and utility added to it.

My last though on swipe was to make it a 2 part skill. Nidalee swipes her claws dealing half magic and half physical damage and shredding armor and MR with each hit. You completely dislike shred but its the only utility I can think to add to her kit that makes sense and fits the skill.
