Do you think Nidalee is healthier as a mage or an ad bruiser?

Other than saying Nidalee is annoying either way (which I agree with), do you guys think Nidalee is better off as a mage or ad bruiser?

I personally think ad Nidalee is healthier. Sure she's annoying as hell in lane, but later on she becomes practically useless and can barely do anything other than mediocre splitpushing unless she is in the hands of a very skilled player. And an oppresive laning phase is MUCH healthier than being a long range siege mage with massive dmg and crazy mobiity and utility.

And I also think ad Nidalee is healthier in the jungle, because NO ONE likes to have some random spear come out of the blue and chunk them for a huge amount of health, essentially allowing Nidalee to gank without even being there for the gank.

But enough of my stupid rambling, what do you guys think?

AD Nidalee in its prime still required Nid to stay in the fight and auto targets. She had way stronger laning, but didn't have the poke or assassination that AP Nid does now.

The problem I have with ap nid is that she manages to be an assassin a poke mage and a bruiser all at once

The temptation to vote for support is real

I would say AP is healthier simply because it's actually supported by her scalings. AD Nidalee throws away almost all of her kit's potential for the sake of better auto-attacks/pushing and I dislike that.
