Considering the nature of the Cougar form which is very slippery and below average all-in capabilities, I would rather believe Nidalee would be someone that punishes teams for "not engaging yet" while being very hard to engage on, wherein she's strong before the teamfight begins, but weak when the battle starts.

She has to choose between jumping in or continue poking down, which should both be below average strength in terms of teamfight contribution to keep her in her niche.

But I believe there's something off... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know the poke is good for her. I think it's because that hard engagers, and even those who excel at engaging, still have a hard time locking her down. You'd have to be strong at engaging, AND have a considerable burst to take her down.

Perhaps, if I would be a developer, I'd try this iteration: "Slows reduce Pounce's travel distance"
