Riot should strive to make more champs like Nidalee

Ok, so here's my reasoning behind this. Riot has been focusing lately on releasing champs with niche roles and that's fine, but for me personally I love when there is room to play a champion in many roles and do so quite well. It gives a freedom to the player and lets you play champions you enjoy in situations where you may be unable to call bot/mid/top etc.

I enjoy playing Nidalee supp, Karma top/mid, Elise top/supp/mid(not so much now with the nerfs) along with Fiddlesticks supp/mid/top (you'd be surprised). So when people are complaining that "X champ should not be able to do all these roles well!" Why is that a problem? (oh and I guess Lulu but eh she's not my style :P )

Ok perhaps in Nidalee's case she's doing them a bit above and beyond if she's good... but in cases like Lee Sin(yes lee sin honestly isn't that horrible...) or Elise or those random Junglers and Top Laners used as supports. Is it not fun when you can pick the champ of your liking and not worry about the roles you're left with?

I simply feel champion role diversity will make league fun overall and there's nothing wrong with going in every role and doing well if the kit supports the play style. And I hope some of you can understand, and Riot as well, there's nothing wrong with a champion finding their way into a different lane and doing well. I mean look what happened to so many good mages who went bot lane... they get hit with nerfs so they're not able to do well one role and maybe even their original roles...

Bleh sorry for the text I just feel like the hatred for some is in a wrong direction for role diversity and overall fun. Please give your feedback as to how you stand on this direction.

I enjoy multiple role viability, but when you say more Nidalee champions, it sound like you mean build an apc/adc capable champ that can throw half hp skillshots at huge range, heal, place trap-wards, wall hop etc...
