I've given up on Nidalee ever being balanced

Seriously, every balance attempt has done nothing but shift power to another part of her kit but never fixes anything. We had AP builds chunking health, now we have spears plus takedown chunking EVEN MORE health than before thanks to Riot feeling like she needed a free long range dash on one of the highest mobility champs in the game so she can chunk health and get out like nothing ever happened. Come on Riot please.

'We reworked Nidalee because her AP build was OP.' 'Sorry, Nidalee's AD build is OP so we're shifting power back into her AP build.' 'Nidalee's AP build is OP? We'll rework her in a year or two, don't worry about it.'

What's wrong with her being good? It's not like she has extremely toxic mechanics, uncountable or instant-pick elo boosting win. (at the moment)

She was literally made in 4-5 different ways and people are still complaining about her, if you mean "balance" by completely gut her (into never played status) then not sure what you guys want.

The issue is Riot is trying to conserve all the parts of her kit for players, but her entire package is just toxic when looked at as a whole. Her kit basically gives her everything except hard CC. Her annoying play pattern of "Throw spears until you die and I run away" will just come back. AP nidalee is also annoying because her heal is stronger, erasing any form of trading you decided to do.

that to me is one of the worst designed champions in the game, especially after the rework

Nidalee is not a free win in lane anymore. More over, because her laning phase is actually weak versus many champs, and she scales poorly into mid game with most builds, her ability to dominate post-laning/pre-late has been seriously diminished.

In other words, the recent nerfs did exactly what they were suppose to. It is possible to out play her, out pick her, or simply out scale her. If you are running into problems you should rethink your strategy instead of butting the same champs up against her over and over (and hoping for different results).

Yet I barely notice her anymore. The only thing that irritates me about her is the vision she gets from lucky spears in bushes.

She does need to be nerfed into being underpowered. Just for a little bit so Riot can actually see what that looks like and try to find a middle ground from there.
