I think the Nunu buffs are kind of in the wrong direction

I like the buff to his base AD, but increasing his Q healing is just unnecessary. This spell already heals so much mid-lategame, it's amazing. You know what part of Nunu is actually unreasonably weak? His E damage. It's a short range semi-skillshot that deals damage over a couple of seconds, it should be doing more total damage than it currently does. Maxing it second feels terrible because there's almost no increase in damage.

It's actually difficult to think of an argument against buffing the E instead of the Q. It's hard to land all three volleys, deals extremely low damage even against monsters, and the slow doesn't last long enough to keep someone hit by the first volley nearby for the pop three seconds later.

Meanwhile, the Q works perfectly fine.

I agree... ultimately, the reason I don't play Nunu is because his E just feels SO useless. Sure, you can use it to set up ult plays, but a ton of champs can get out of them, and that's basically its main purpose.
