Why is AP Nidalee so bad?

There's actually no real way to play this champion anymore. The first two clears are so garbage, they don't even compare to champions like Graves Warwick. Her spears do as much damage without building AP as they would with it. If you're wanting to do damage as Nidalee, it seems to me like you're forced into two paths:

item 1414 item 3047 item 3025 item 3001 Tank or Any other jungle enchantment item 3078 item 3153 Tank

I really wish Riot would give her a purpose in the jungle, or revert her back to a mid laner.

They need to decide what she is and what she does. This gameplay of 'I hope they don't dodge spear' is stupid.

Pro players still seem to play her just fine.
