Please stop reverting Nunu changes and just give him a buff already.

He needs it more than any other champion. Nunu is the laughing stock of junglers and the only support jungle in the game. He should always be a viable option but he's just plain garbage. The new jungle items allow basically any champion to clear somewhat well, and the most common junglers just blast through the jungle without needing more than a couple pots on the first clear. After first back they clear faster than Nunu, have better ganks, and better carry potential.

Nunu has had several changes on the PBE in the past few months. One of them was for the most part a nerf to his blood boil which was thankfully not put through. Another change that has been on the PBE at least twice was an increasing slow on his ultimate. It's been reverted at least twice. The most recent blood boil buff was also reverted.

Please just prioritize giving him a numbers buff or small mechanical change like the recent blood boil rework. He's pretty much unusable in high elo and it's just painful to see his buffs get reverted time and time again. We've known about the increasing slow on his ultimate for like half a year now and it never reached the live game.

tl;dr Nunu has obviously been on the radar for months so why aren't any changes making it to the live game? He is like emergency-level unplayable.

nunu is cancer and I'm pretty happy about not having to see his PS1 looking ass

Actually there is one change I would love to see reverted to put him in a good spot.

Revery the reduced heal on minion bite. I wanna play lane nunu not be forced to go jungle nunu. If this means he loses jungle buffs on bite fine with me. He needs to come back to lanes as a great anser champion that he ised to be.

I think they want to, but aren't confidant in any specific change. I think the ult slow increasing over time is something that will get through during one of these iterations though. It may not be all they want to do at once, and just can't figure out this mix of mechanical changes and numbers changes without it being too strong of a buff, or not enough of a buff.

He doesn't need buffs he needs a rework. He's supposed to be a non-juggernaut tank that has no hard CC and very little team interaction. His one saving grace is his counterjungling fantasy, oh wait, Rek'sai got to have that AND have a hard CC plus mobility plus a more useful ult. Nunu's kit is a garbage relic of a different time, and it's aged like cheese

I definitely don't disagree with that, but he's been in the same shit-tier unusable trash can for month. Small buffs would allow him to be somewhat useful, albeit clunky, until they rework him.

I actually like his kit and think it's in the right direction but obviously needs to be modernized. He's really not an effective tank or fighter or mage, he's the only support capable of jungling, and that's the niche they should secure for him when rebalancing or reworking him.

Small change to his passive to make it both a little more exciting and to help his clears a bit once mid game arives.

Passive: yadda yadda yadda 5 autos, free spell yadda yadda all same

NEW ADDITION: While Nunu has his 5 stacks, his auto attacks deal AoE damage based on his AP.

Now he can be used in lane and can keep up in farm once mid game comes in the jungle.
