Nunu Rework Feedback

First off, I am frequently a fairly critical judge, and even I have to say that the new Nunu looks amazing. The champ kit designer(s) and art teams really knocked it out of the park with this rework. The new Nunu genuinely looks fun to both play as and against.

However, I do have some requests to improve the new Nunu:

  1. Please replace the knock-up on his Snowball with a different CC. Changing this was already suggested by someone else on the boards, and I saw a lot of support for it, but I didn't see a Riot response. Visually, a tiny 0.1 second knock-back displacement followed by a regular stun or a hard-slow+silence would be a better fit. There doesn't seem to be any identity/balance reason to explain why Nunu's CC shouldn't be effected by tenacity or cleanses. In many people's opinions, too many knock-ups in the game muddies up some of the known counterplay/counterbuilding to CC.

  2. Please fix his ultimate's radius indicator not showing for opponents if it goes beyond a bush's edge (when the opponent has vision outside of the bush but not inside). "Absolute Zero can be cancelled early, and channeling from brush or fog of war won’t reveal Nunu & Willump." This seems to be selling a bug as an intended feature. If the issue with range indicators being hidden when extending out of bushes can be fixed, then please do so since these kinds of "features" are quirky in a bad way that makes the game appear glitchy/broken to people who haven't gotten used to them. If it can't be fixed for now, then please don't bring attention to it at least.

  3. Please let Nunu stay viable in solo queue. I know this might seem pessimistic to already expect that Nunu will end up dumpstered, but there definitely seems to be a trend that whenever a new champion/rework comes out where the kit is actually healthy and interesting with lots of strategic utility to make the game actually fun, it reliably gets dumpstered until <48% winrate and/or <1% pick rate... Ryze Galio Ornn Azir Gragas Sejuani Ivern TahmKench Shen ... The new Nunu looks really, really good for the game (just like those other, now barely viable champions, did) so please let him actually get played at more than 2% pick rate in solo queue...
