New hidden passive for Nunu

Gentleman Gems··64 votes·5,840 views

#IMeanBuffs I was playing Nunu on my smurf account and I thought about the idea of some new buffs on Nunu's Consume for champions with pets (This list includes Tibbers, Yorick's Gouls, Heim's Turrets, and Malzahar's Voidlings.). I will try to avoid adding numbers to the abilities but will instead use descriptive terms and comparisons. Tibbers: Spicy Meatball: giving him the equivalent of a Mini item 3068. Omen of War: Battle Fed: Increase Movement Speed by a small amount when dealing damage to a target Omen of Famine: Starving: Gain 5% spell vamp and life steal. Omen of Pestilence: Bad Breath: Auto attacks apply a small poison and slow H-28G Evolutionary Turret: Iron Packed: Gain a 15% armor bonus, the bonus doubles if the turret was upgraded. Voidling: Magical Delights: Gain 10% MR, +10% when the Voidling grows and plus 15% if it's frenzied. Sentinels (By IAmTheGoatOfWar): Good for your Eyes: Gain an increased 100 range of vision Spiderlings (By IAmTheGoatOfWar): Crunchy Protein: Gain 10% Attack Speed Zaclings (By IAmTheGoatOfWar): Gummy Delights: Gain 5% of Zac's Max Health Shrooms (By IAmTheGoatOfWar): Tasty, Tasty, Poison: Deal a decent amount of DoT Magic Damage for a few seconds based on a small amount of your AP on your auto-attacks. Mordikaiser's Pet Dragon: (By SecretAgentHulk): Dragons Breath: Deal a small amount of bonus magic damage in a cone every third attack. Zyra Plants: (Modified from IAmTheGoatOfWar's Idea): Fiber Food: Remove 2 seconds from Consumes Cooldown as well as buff based on the plant. Thorn Spitter: Prickly Veggie's: Gain 10% AP Vine Lasher: Stringy Veggie's: Gain a Moderate Slow on Auto Attacks Shaco Box (By Bergk): Funny Bone Delights: Fear nearby enemy minions and monsters for 1 second, also take 15% Damage reduction against Monsters. ZZRot Voidlings (By TheLordOfScrubs): Nunu deals additional true damage to structures based on his health (Scaling should be less than the one for ZZrot)

Feel free to add any other consumable, champion made, object that could have a bonus passive and what you think it should be. Upvote if you like the Idea and if not, explain why

If Nunu eats Quinn's bird he can fly at supersonic speeds around the map.

Gentleman Gems1 votes

LoL, that's funny, but even Riot would call that OP. Plus Quinn is already bad enough. We don't need to add salt to the already salty wound. XD

Bergk2 votes

Valor is considered a champion during Quinn's ult and consume cannot be used on her. :/

If you managed to eat him anyways, then you deserve this buff.

She's buggy enough already, it wouldn't surprise me if he managed to.

kalista soul...things? perhaps 100 extra vision range?

elise spiderlings...hmmm this one is hard perhaps 10% attack speed boost?

iamthegoatofwar7 votes

zac...nunu grows in size according to his max hp.

zyra plants....hmmm the one that applies the slow will apply a fairly decent slow on his AAs, and the ones that do ranged damage will give nunu a slight damage buff on his ult.

then teemo if he can eat the shrooms....how about applying a poison stronger than the omen of famine's on his AAs (also apply the stronger than pestilence's slow to zyra's plant thing)

Gentleman Gems3 votes

I was thinking of a small bonus CDR or halving the cool down on Consume for the Zyra plants (Lots of Fiber) but your ideas are great overall. What do you think on the Zyra plant one? PS. It's pestilence, not famine, that has the slow and dot

I believe Teemo's Shrooms and Kalista's Sentinels are coded in a way that prevents casting spells on them. Might want to add that in.

makes me sad they never really added any of these...

If Nunu eats Teemos shrooms he dies of poisioning.

These buffs seem to have their numbers way too high for a hidden passive. Jinx gains 1 gold for each kill or assist against Vi or Caitlyn and vice versa. Thresh has the potential to get 2 souls from Nunu, granting an additional .75 armor and .75 ap. Increasing Nunu's armor by 20% or his MR by up to 30% is a huge stat boost to not have listed on the ability. I don't think that even nerfing these values to be 1% would warrant hidden counters like this.

I'm thinking something more like giving Nunu the buff "Frozen Delicacies". Each time Nunu consumes a new unit type it's recorded on the buff. It would basically be like the "Eureka" passive on Heim or the "Agitated" buff on Caitlyn in that it doesn't provide an in-game buff but would still be a neat thing to have.

I think PeanutButterJely was right on how I wanted it to be a buff, not a secret passive, so I changed it on the main text for clarifacations

I don't think Nunu should have potentially game changing buffs against champions he already messes with pretty hard. Look at heimer's turrets for example; he can already consume to greatly weaken his ult turret (weakening Heimer severely), but now he also gains 40% armor for doing so. He now gets ~40% effective physical health boost for doing what he was going to do in a fight anyway. Or look at Tibbers; you remove Annie's ultimate summon and basically gain Udyr's R in addition to your entire kit.

So no. Nunu does not need these kinds of buffs (if he even needs buffs), as he would need to be greatly nerfed to make up for how strong these would be (oh look, enemy team picked Zac. I can get a free 300-400 health for pressing Q like I normally would).

I don't know, considering Annie has been the only one of those three champions to see any significant play really, I'm not sure how much this would do for the game. Hilarious idea though, I love the spicy meatball one. +1

Malz appears in solo queue fairly often. He's a really strong independent pick.

Spicy Meatball needs to lose the magic damage in a cone. This is so that it can be put on Dragon Breath, which Nunu gets from eating Morde's Dragon.

Don't forget Elise's Spiderlings,Zyra's Plants(2 kinds) and Kalista's Ghosts.

And that would't be a hidden passive,but rather a buff.

Bergk2 votes

When Willump eats Shaco's Jack In The Box it should cause all nearby minions and monsters to flee in terror for 1 second.

Bergk2 votes

The special buffs for yoricks ghosts are a little too OP because then Top nunu would counter top Yorick SO HARD. lol. These hidden passive usually are considered "Easter eggs" and don't make a significant gameplay change.

My proposed edits: Omen of War: Battle Fed: Increase Movement Speed by a small amount (like +5 ms no more) when dealing damage to a target Omen of Famine: Starving: Gain 20% spell vamp and life steal. Willump's next consume will heal him for an addition 10hp. Omen of Pestilence: Bad Breath: Auto attacks apply a small poison (1 damage per second for 3 seconds)~~ and slow~~

Imaging how big the tooltip would be

Dharc Kaisor1 votes

It's a good idea, but some of those are kinda big. Also, Nunu does fairly well without any buffs.

Daen1 votes

Overall, I think this would be too much of a burden of knowledge for both the Nunu player and his opponents. That's a huge amount of complexity for a single skill, and Riot would basically have to individually code every interaction with every consumable entity in the game.

Drakylon1 votes

Can you even consume the hp-per-hit units like Zyra's plants and Sentinels? Especially Sentinels, as I believe they can't be targeted by spells.

Having a good chunk of these buffs on top of the already existing buff camp buffs might be a bit too much though. For example, having Zac's buff, a buff camp buff and an outer camp buff would increase his health to pretty crazy levels; there's also the problem of whether or not the health from Consuming Zaclings is considered bonus health. 15% damage reduction from monsters should probably be ignored by Dragon and Baron, since it'd be pretty easy for Nunu to just solo Baron with SV, a source of mana regen and some Spell Vamp.

10% of Zac's max hp is pretty big. That's 400-500 bonus hp.

Jungle Lux God1 votes

Cool ideas, but not sure that it would be appropriate.

That's a lot to add for something that might not happen in every game.

Nunu should be able to eat clones like LBs and he makes a Nunu Clone too!

For Hemierdinger, instead of movement speed, he should gain Hemeir's passive for a short time (hpregen)

That vision buff tho

DarthSpectrum1 votes

If Nunu eats a Gangplank barrel he should get a channel time reduction on his ultimate for each barrel he ate, with each barrel bring down the CD of his ultimate by a static amount. (Nunu can still channel to the original length for the slow, but he can now detonate it for full damage as long as the required amount of time after the reductions has passed.)

Make trundle pillar targetable by consume. It wont do anything to the pillar, but Nunu gets Trollmacia: deal 1 true damage onhit

Better dont do that people will flame just for someone to pick "nunu Buff" champ ....

Gentleman Gems1 votes

https://kidfromthe6ix.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/what-are-you-saying.gif Your grammer leaves me guessing that people will flame someone so that they do pick a champ, and in that case. they would be Trolling, and I'm pretty sure your not trying to say that, just want clarification. If you are saying people will flame someone for picking it, well that's the same thing as going and picking Tryndamere with Teemo going top. In blind pick, it's unreasonable but can't be stopped unless the majority of the team is against the flamer, If it's in draft pick then they are ether new to this and again, really just need to be notified before he locks in (Instalocking him will just be punishment in itself), and or he is Trolling so he can get the hate, he won't care. In ranked, well that's just a Troll if the rank is gold or higher, and a typical game if bronze or silver.
