The Nunu buffs were not even funny.

540-590 HP for a champion with a sub-40% winrate, when HP wasn't even his problem and other non-tank champions still have higher hp. 50 HP is less than 150 gold worth of HP. If you actually thought this would help him out at all, you're totally delusional.

When a champion has a <40% winrate, that's the time to be heavy-handed with buffs. Nunu hates everything about this season. The runes, the item changes, everything.

With him being so abysmally useless, now is the time to experiment with his kit. Add additional affects to his abilities and make him more supportive like Ivern.

It is legit a nerf because of his near legendary meme status to int. Having high HP to int will cost more time. ...Just rework him for hells sake. I do not know why he is not in top priority. It ignites atomic levels of toxicity when he is picked. Because we do not know if said player is trolling or not.

And this is just the stuff that happens in pick screen_. The game has not even started._

His winrate in the jungle so far this patch is 49%. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

You're implying Nunu should even be viable. He's just hugely toxic whenever he's strong.

'Nunu's only job is to make the enemy jungler as useless as himself.'

He needs a full VGU.

Nunu's model looks like it belongs in runescape bruh, and his skin splash arts makes it look like there are 3 different kids riding Willump Rework him entirely please

  • Workshop, Demolisher and Grungy have ugly stewie
  • Classic, TPA have what nunu should look like
  • Sasquatch they just replaced nunu with Chibi version of Nagisa Hazuki from Free!

Well this is what Riot will tell you.

Nah Nunu doesn't have a high enough player base, and he just isnt flashy enough. so we don't care about his low win rate. But it's okay we gave Yas shit tons of buffs :D

At present I do rather well with Fleet of Foot > Overheal > Legend: Tenacity > Last Stand and Revitalize > Conditioning.

The extra AS from the tree buff is great. Helps you clear and counter much faster. The healing is appreciated and the tenacity is fantastic.

According to Rioters, Nunu is doing very well if you take Guardian on him, the problem is that no one is taking Guardian on him. That's why they're not buffing him further.

Nunu and Amumu were the first two champions I ever learned how to jungle with back in season 2. Spammed them relentlessly.

Now they're both shells of their former selves. They just feel so bad to play.

they could legit double his health straight up and i still wouldn't want this troll champion on my team

He is a good pick in to certain matchups. I'd recommend unsealed spellbook for more smites/invading.

you want to pick him in to champs that get ruined by slows, like Udyr in particular, and it's a bonus if your team benefits from his W.

I like how people never look at His jg winrate which is at 48.76%(source Lolanalytics) and just quote his overall which has mid, top, and support mixed in which are attrocious

Where do you get the idea that Nunu hates everything about this season? Maybe you're the delusional one. Guardian is one of the best things to ever happen to Nunu, the synergy with his W is insane. I've had situations where this rune has saved somebody's life just because I could press w on them in time and block that 1 tick of damage. Old Nunu wouldn't have been able to do that. You argue that he's useless? Maybe you're just playing him wrong, he seems pretty useful in my games. He can secure dragon safely very early on into the game, he has one of the best counter jungles in the game, and once he hits six, the enemy bot lane is as good as dead. Nunu is by far my favorite champion in the game, and the moment that riot starts trying to 'experiment with his kit' and 'add additional effects and abilities' is the moment I shed tears of sorrow.

Basically, I don't agree with your argument because in my experience he doesn't suffer from anything you point out here. Sure, the buff was virtually pointless, but you're assuming he needed one in the first place. Also, when you start saying stuff like 'make him more like X champion', take into consideration that every champion in the game should have their own unique play style that doesn't really feel like another champion's. If riot decided to add 'additional effects' to Nunu to make him play more like Ivern, then why would I want to play Nunu in the first place? Why wouldn't I just go play Ivern himself rather than his mediocre doppelgänger? For the most part, riot has done a good job of maintaining originality and individuality throughout their roster, and I hope it stays that way.

nunus doing bad? better rework morgana lol

Little Toga12/14/2017, 3:20:45 AM1 votes

I've said this before and I'll say it again Irelia does not need a rework right now other champions need it so much more than her, and it has to be nunu!

ZephyrDrake12/13/2017, 6:41:25 AM1 votes

maybe if people would stop picking him in lanes where his kit doesn't work to begin with then maybe he would have a better winrate.

he is a jungler and his winrate in the jungle is ok then you have people picking him in top, support and for whatever reason mid lane all of those lanes that his kit simply does not function and takes away the main reason for picking him to begin with

Alex h872112/13/2017, 8:23:38 PM1 votes

Nunu right now is a niche pick, pick him if the enemy team picks a jungler w/ poor clear time, max that Q and be 2 levels up on the enemy jg by 10 minutes, get objectives and have a good shot at winning the game, but pick him against a meta jg and yeah he doesn't bring that much to the table.

But this wont be solved by buffing nunu, because he is so simple if they buff him too hard he becomes a dominant jungle clearing bot.

I Agree w/ your last line, now is the time to experiment with his kit, b/c nunu doesnt need buffs he needs a rework.
