[Guide how to counter Nidalee] *Another Nidalee cry thread!* Oh.. wait.
Seriously. Every second thread in here is about "oh my gosh I was wrecked by a Nidalee because I don't know how to counter her cry". It's not that you can't counter her - you are too lazy and don't want to do it, but still cry about how "OP" she is. But countering Nidalee is actually REALLY easy. The most people whine about her spear dealing tons of damage (!). It's the thinnest skillshot with the best adjustated hitbox in this game, plus the missile speed is really slow and she has to hit it at long distance to deal damage (You should be aware of the fact that YOU SHOULD KNOW WHERE IT TRAVELS). DODGE IT. and it won't nuke you. You would dodge an Ezreal ult/Ahri Q/insert any champion skillshot aswell. Why not the Javelin? (If you don't wanna dodge it - stop complaining.) It's easy to dodge (seriously sidestep it), plus, I don't understand why you stay back in lane. Stay behind minions or get close to her, so her spear doesn't hit you hard, plus she can't do anything at meelee range, so outplay her. Second, she is really squishy and you should poke her to bait her heal, because its cooldown is too high that she could spam it in a fight. You would poke any other champ aswell. Simply nuke her down, she is vulnerable to EVERY assassin (since her meelee abilities don't deal damage unless she hit you with the spear) and EVERY form of CC (use it - lock her down). In teamfights, Nidalee is one of the most useless champs, since she has to hit her javelin from distance and dive in, but she is really squishy and can't all in, since that's what she is about - all in or die. (Simple mechanic of the most asssassins). She is one of the best balanced, healthiest and easiest assassins to counter and outplay - stop whining about her. Now we come to her cougar form -- this one is only useful if she hits her javelin. DODGE IT. (same as above). Her pounce's cooldown is only reduced if she kills a target - DODGE THE JAVELIN or bait her out and she is a free kill. This champion has no real "ultimate" ability, PLUS in her human form she has more or less ONE DAMAGING ABILITY. If you are too lazy to dodge her javelins - don't complain about you dying. Simple as that. Would you dodge a LB chains aswell? Yes, you would. Would you dodge a Kata ul- oh wait. That's correct, Nidalee is one assassin (emphasis on this, since an assassin should nuke your life and be all in or die, I present you Nidalee.) with the need to hit a skillshot (which is slow, thin and easy to dodge) to go all in. Other assassins don't have, and you still don't cry about them. Nidalee has only one targetted ability which only deals damage if she hit you with the javelin.
TL;DR: If you don't want to dodge the spear - it's your fault. Stop whining about her and learn how to counter her, just as you would like how to learn to counter Ahri or Kata. Bait her and be oppressive on her, she can't do anything. In lane, just oppress her before she can do - and a fed Nidalee nukes everyone (except tanks and cc heavy champs - which are her true counters), but that is what every assassin does (and it's really easy to deal with Nidalee, not like other assassins without enough windows of counterplay). A Nidalee which fell back is simply useless.
