Top or Mid for AP Nidalee?
After playing a game or two, I notice that her laning phase is terribad, and her midgame up until she gets a Lich Bane and Rabadons is lackluster in damage. Is this "scaling" potential suited more for top or mid?

Nidalee feels best mid. If you can preoccupy your laning opponent with dealing with minions and run off to gank another over extended lane... thats what shes supposed to do during laning. Shes less about winning lane and more about roaming. Catch an enemy jungler 1/2 dead at his red? Awsome. Free kill + red. Same with blue. For this reason I often ward the enemy jungles camps with nidalee. I like putting a pink in that second bush behind red closer to the opposing base... never gets spoted and usually warns you that someones getting the camp. If you're on your game you might either steal the red or get the kill.
Also, be aware that their apparent 'fix' for nidalee's E going off in the opposite direction nidalee was facing is to have it take longer to cast. Not sure what caused that glitch in the first place but I hope they find a real fix for this soon. Its thrown off my Q R W E Q W harass / escape.
If you're going to play AP don't go top. You're stealing the spot of a tank or bruiser necessary for your team comp and laning top is very unreliable.
