Is there a way to make nidalee work past 20 min mark?

It's so stupid you have a champion that compared to akali for example is so damn hard to hit you spells to deal damage and still you are way squishy and got less reliable sustain and mobility.

How do you make nidale viable past 20 min mark when you die so fast. If you build damage, it's almost impossible to make a teamfight since you get erased instantly. If you go tanky, you deal so little damage. So what's the optimal build path and play style later on?
