A lot of good suggestions were indeed made on this page. I got bored over one of my breaks from college so I tried my hand at what I would do if I were to rework Nidalee. I took a lot of inspiration from this page (I remember using suggestions like Porchmunkyforlife's idea to make Pounce similar to Zac's Elastic Slingshot, Sagee Prime's ideas to have auto-attacks reduce Swipe's CD and give split ratios to Nidalee's abilities, etc.).

For personal touches, I axed her burst sustain- no more on-demand heal from Primal Surge in exchange for small passive heals on killing units- and gave her little touches to her usability: Takedown would increase her auto range, similar to Wukong's Crushing Blow, and then Aspect of the Cougar would give her damage reduction for a short duration upon damaging enemy champions, etc.

The whole time, I was essentially thinking of killing mid-lane spear-bot while making Nidalee overall more useful in general. I left out a lot of important details here and never bothered with numbers (want to get her mechanics right before tuning damage; that's what needs fixing anyways). If I get really bored, I might upload a WIP of it one day.
