Is it still too soon for Nunu buffs?

Nunu has been sitting at the worst win rate out of all champions in the game since his rework (in most tiers). Why is Nunu doing so poorly up the ladder and what could be adjusted to fix him? Is it simply that people aren't used to his kit yet?

I've been playing him and haven't had a lot of problems, but he really feels like he lacks any meaningful damage outside of his fully channeled ultimate. His cooldowns are quite long even with maximum CDR, which is really punishing. Many times I'll use his W to snowball out of base, but then it's still not up again when I'm needed to gank for my team.

This is my favorite rework Riot has ever done, and it makes me sad to see Nunu doing so poorly despite getting such an awesome kit.

Imo Nunu has the potential to ruin every single lane but a majority of players just dont play him right. If riot buffs nunu I will rage

It's still too early to tell. At least about 2 weeks would suffice since players are still learning him.

######Please stop saying Nunu is ez just because he looks kiddy.

Akali's win rate is still poor and she's been out for a while now.

She's also has a 60% ban rate and is considered OP by many. Imagine if they buffed her.

It's too early to say he's weak. However some part of his bad winrate rely on W collision (sometime when walking near wall even if the ball seem to don't hit, it would). Riot has said that they will maybe fix that issue. This Should help a bit nunu without giving real buff since sometime when walking in the jungle there would be less accidental collide and he would have the chance to teamfight.

I think people just don't know how to build him. Everyone is building full ap for the loss- IMEAN lulz, or full tank.

He's kind of an AP Lee Sin, gank heavy early game into an engage late. I've found a lee sin-ish buildpath, damage into late game tankiness, works well.
