My Personal Guide to Fixing Nidalee

TL;DR - Just make Nidalee an energy based champion so she can't spam spears everytime it's off CD when late game comes around.

Since I think that energy would castrate her spear-spam, which while fun is unhealthy, I'd say give her Q hitbox a tad buff so she doesn't have to have pin-point accuracy or luck to hit them. Considering that the time in between spears would become reasonable I think it's equally reasonable to ask as much.

(This would open up a slot for another 120 AP item since she wouldn't have to build mana regen. Gah! I'm already thinking of the possibilities this could bring for Nid builds :D)

Anyone have a better idea that doesn't completely gut her fun-to-play kit or completely remove her from the meta?

I feel like giving Nidalee the ability to never run out of mana and keep throwing spears and using heals just to prevent her from using it off cooldown is a bad idea. It wouldn't limit her that much more and she would be able to siege infinitely.

i'm still waiting for a balance skill passive, such as nidalee loses 1-2 secs on her heal if she throws a spear, and vice versa if she heals she loses 1-2 secs on her spear throw, making her choose between the two.

Making CHOICE AN ACTUAL strategic thing to do. other than which to press first @_o

No can do. Energy resource and healing mechanics cannot be on the same kit.

Let me propose a Kog'Maw style stacking mana cost on repeated Q casts.
