Disappointed in the new Nidalee overall. AP nid needs major changes.

Came back to lol not long ago and went back to my favorite character Nidalee. Really interesting mechanics but..... She really sucks as AP now and before she had late game problems which didn't get addressed at all.

1. The random Q damage nerf to cater newbs that couldn't dodge was a terrible change. But on the long run, If Javelin gets nerfed for a better cat and caster performance then I'm all in on the change.
2. The cat armor and resistance nerf removes any purpose on me going in as a cat (unless I fully build her ad and tanky which is something completely wrong with LoL balancing overall in my opinion). No character should be finally viable after getting the items. You don't notice that thanks to laning phase where people rarely hit each other now a days because killing someone is almost irrelevant vs farming minions (sad times). She suffers from this because she looks ''great'' as ad top lane while she really isn't.
3. Her AP damage flat out sucks late game thanks to the items created over the years to counter AP (which is fine) but adding that to her bad scaling makes her borderline useless as an AP character ( apart from the decent healing she's always had).
4. So bad to the point where I pick NIdalee and everyone expects me to go ad instead of how I used to play her (support or mid) if I pick any of these roles '' I'm hurting the team''.
5. Even her ad potential is weird. She benefits mostly from ap but you build her AD thanks to just 1 ability. That's pretty lame I really think you guys can do so much better with the mechanics she has now.

Why can't she be like akali and actually feel like a strong bursty hybrid? That's what she was meant to be. Her support kit was pretty much irrelevant till people noticed she can hit turrets and''that's all it is for''/ some sustain in her lane as AD. It's really lame how she's turned out in the eyes of most players. I'm disappointed in her overall performance because AD Nidalee is really boring to me. AP had a lot of potential but didn't meet the expectations for competitive play till pro players came out with it (which I don't get it). She needs a buff in the fun department. I think she still needs a lot of work to both please AD and AP players. I don't want to compare the possibilities with other MOBAS but I'd compare what I would like her to be just as flavorful as the new champs that have recently come out. To be versatile in her abilities MORE than cat and caster.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong. I'll still player her from time to time. But I would like her to be a much more efficient champion with the new mechanics she was given in terms of a late game prowess which I feel she doesn't have as an AP character. Her role as AD is boring to me because it is limited to auto attacks, 1 button (Q) and range. All of that is viable due to items not the whole kit she brings to the table.
