What are you guys thoughts on nidalee?

I want to post a thread for a nidalee rework, but first wanted to get some thoughts from the community about what you guys like/dislike about her first. i know a bunch of people don't like nidalee. i personally don't have a problem the same way it seems most people do. is it just her spears? the main problem i have and the problems i want to solve with a rework are

1. she is too busy. playing nidalee right now is just a mess of spam all your human form abilities, switch to cougar form and spam all of her cougar form abilities, rinse and repeat.
2. she is rewarded too much for spamming Q's from a safe distance(especially since they nerfed her health) until she has a "guaranteed" easy kill with her cougar form. she needs a healthier play-style that is both funner to play and funner to play against
3. her other abilities need to be more functional and unique. her traps are way to lacking in there current state and i want to removed her human form E in order to make room for a more interesting and more thematically accurate ability.
4. her different forms should have more distinct roles and play styles. they should work together different ways and offer options to the player. currently her forms only work together in one way for the most part. land Q/mark target with human from, then jump on them with cougar. the interaction between burrowed and unburrowed rek'sai for instance is very fun to play as and against and offer quite a bit of distinction from one another despite not being a shapeshifter like nidalee.

things that i like about nidalee that i want to keep in some form or another.

1. her shapeshifting. it really wouldn't be nidalee without it. its a really cool theme that i think just isn't executed properly.
2. her spears. yes i know "nidalee spears are cancer!!! remove them from the game!!" i don't want to keep them in there current state, but they are a vital part of her theme almost as much as her cougar form. i have some ideas for how to change them, but i want to know what you guys don't like about them first and see if i can remedy the problem.
3. her traps. the idea is cool and works thematically but needs changes to them to make them actually functional and distinct.
4. her cougar pounce another trade mark of nidalee. i think this will need the fewest change if any. it's a pretty balanced mechanic with plenty of counter-play. her non targeted pounce may need some changes to make her less able to escape from anything, but i have some ideas.

pls let me know what you guys like and don't like about her in the comments, and if you have any ideas on changes or abilities you would like to see on her. sometime later i will be posting a thread with a reworked kit for her so be sure to check it out when its up. LET THE FLAMING BEGIN!!!!!!!!
