He is not broken. His allies are, and by allies I mean champions that can inflate his winrate while leaving their own winrate relativly uninflated: Teemo, Kayle, Jax, Kog Maw, Azir etc. Every champion with built in AP steroid on their AA is worshiping Nunu right now and inflating his winrate, and to make matters worse the season has started and meta slaves have been reseted to a lot lower elo then before so right now everybody who was ranked higher last season with or without Nunu inflate his winrate even futher, especialy in duo queue with a friend. Finaly there is the thing that the games tend to be very short and snowbally with 0 chances of comeback so once that hyper carry Kayle has gotten a few kills and fully maxed blood boil it just goes out of hand to soon with or without Nunu.

What is however a problem is AP ratio that he got on his AA, it made his clear a lot faster early game and consistent, while also providing him with things to do while E is off cooldown, because before he didnt really have much incentive to use AA except in JG. After playing 20 Nunu games I can assure you that just removing his blood boil buff wont do you any good until you slow down his clear considerably.

Can we first look back at how absolutely horrible Nunu was a few days ago? He was close to being the weakest champion in the game, and he needed something to get him off the ground.

before nunu steroid never contributed a lot to anyone not to mention consume just made it easier for him to die to bork and lord doms... now he has some practical use but it is unfortunate that his (120 ap boost cap at level 5 btw) E adds a free deathcap of ap to anyone with more then 300... and it is a little over tuned that 1 ability that can be cast forever gives 3500 gold of raw stats

but i will also admit that nunu was low win rate and bad in most elos simply because his clears were good but he didn't offer a whole lot to ganks.. his late game wasn't great unless you were either full tank and never died, or had so much ap that with perfect positioning you could kill 2+ people relatively instantly and not everyone was good enough to execute it consistently to where nunu could carry the game (not to say that there are not players in plat+ that can do that but not everyone can)

now i haven't played much nunu before this patch and i never really like seeing anyone play him at all, but as a person that really enjoys teemo and kayle i like the new e buff because its over tuned

Nunu is garbage while all these champs still exist in the game. Nunu gets a massive buff to his W and rises to broken OP levels over night. "The problem isnt Nunu" lolwut? "Other champs make him broken" how about he makes other champs broken?

The fact of the matter is that Nunu is the source of the issue right now. The easiest course of balance changes is to remedy Nunu, either reverting the recent changes or making meaningful changes otherwise.

When someone gets a free 40% ap out of nowhere, yeah I'm not saying "Man this fucking veigar is so op!" Maybe the nunu who just gave him a fucking deathcap is the overpowered part. Or his permanent slow that does a literal truck load of damage. There is a truck driving around summoners rift carrying damage, and it just runs you down and dumps it's load in your asshole. That's fucking nunu. His W is a fucking deathcap for him and whatever slut he decides also fucks you sideways.

Then riot's "hotfix" to remove 2% off his autos...because that's the problem right? Nunu is the op part, not the mage with click land damage.
