Nunu W is way too clunky

I love tanky junglers like Zac, and really Nunu should have everything that I enjoy about those kinds of champs.

However, I find it really horrible to use his W. It's such a cool idea, it looks so good, and it's not only the best part about new Nunu but it's the best part of his kit! That's why it's such a shame that it's so clunky to use.

It's way too difficult to steer, and its acceleration is far too slow. Nunu should feel lively and agile, fitting with his jovial and fun character!

In terms of gameplay, it's detrimental to Nunu's viability that he can barely use his W at all inside the jungle, especially around camps due to the immense difficulty steering. What other champion is unable to use their key tools in the place they spend most of their time? It's also not fair compared to other champions that Nunu is so hindered in using his Q as a short range stun and knockup, due to how slow it starts. In addition, if the W was made more fluid, it would feel so much better to use his W in combination with other abilities, making him feel so much more satisfying to play and he would be so much more enjoyable to get good with.

In my opinion, Nunu would hardly even be too strong if these elements were fixed and it would be easy enough to bring him back in line by increasing the cooldown on W, and further reducing the stun and knockup duration on short charge times. It seems to me that the devs were concerned that Nunu W would be too strong, so they balanced it with these limitations, but it should have been immediately obvious that these limits were far too much.

P.S. Please LoL devs, put Nautilus back in the jungle somehow. I beg you :D

Thank you for reading, please let me know your thoughts :)

I agree its too clunky i disagree with just about everything else you said. the Steering and acceleration is fine and leave coutner play. what is bad about it is the animation to start the snowball is too long and the snowball for some reason slow's him to 50% and that is absolute bs. Tanks often get Bullshit clunky skills Sion Orrn Shen. for no other reason than they are 'tanks' but if an adc or mage gets released and something inhibits their movement while doing damage they cry and get it changed.
