AP Nidalee is understandably attractive, since all of her abilities scale off of AP with the exception of her Cougar form Q.

But the thing is, the only ability that really scales meaningfully with AP is the Q-spear. If you're really really good with it long range, it gets over 1.5 ratio off ability power, which is obviously amazing.

She's got a good escape, an attack speed steroid/heal, she's in the top 10 for best attack speed at 18, and is number 13 for best attack speed at level 1, and while her base attack damage isn't phenomenal, she scales decently, more or less competitive with most other tops.

So basically, pure AP Nidalee has potential, but if you can't land the spear (or are facing opponents that dodge the spear reliably), she's got seriously good bruiser powers you should consider for top. Additionally, her snare-traps, heal, and excellent spear harass make her a potential support, but only if she plays a true support (and doesn't just build AP, screw up her Carry's farm, and fails to buy wards).

I've seen her played mid, top, and support.
