Is it just me...

or does it feel more like you are playing Willump than you are Nunu. Nunu is the boy on his back, and he doesn't do anything. Willump is the one that bites the monsters, Willump is more believable chucking an iceball that size at someone than Nunu is, Willump is the one that saps the heat to Absolute Zero, Willump is the one that does the blood boil (arguably). If Nunu gets changed at all, it needs to be something that gives Nunu something to do other than just Willump

Every so often I'll make a not very serious pitch to someone on the skins team for a legendary Nunu skin called 'Willump'. It'd have a special spawn in animation where the Yeti reaches up, grabs Nunu and then consumes him. After that you'd play as the Yeti for the rest of the game doing all the normal things (yeti does all the work!), but with yeti roars instead of the kid's voice.

More seriously, yeah, we're with you the Nunu+Willump combination's a bit lacking for what feels like it should be a partnership. I don't know when we'll do substantial work on Nunu, he needs it, but he's not Urgot or Warwick tier in terms of need or potential improvement. Would expect whenever we do though that one of our core goals would be to make both the kid and the yeti active, interesting and distinct from each other.

For the longest time I thought Nunu was the yeti, and still think of it as so even though I know some kid is on that sprite.

But nunu is the one telling him what to do! hence, you are playing as nunu!

Never really thought about it but when somebody says the word "Nunu" I literally just think of the Yeti.

to be honest for the longest time I thought we were only playing as the yeti. similar to how alot of people thought malphites head is his nose

Ooooooorrrrrr they could change his name to Willump and remove Nunu altogether. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

By that logic you aren't playing as rumble, you are playing the mech suit. I don't see how this is an issue at all.

I don't know much about Nunu and Willump nor have I read his lore, but maybe it's because Nunu is the one controlling Willump. Maybe Willump needs Nunu in order to function properly.

I really didn't know there was a boy on the monsters back at first, legit. I thought you were just playing the abominable snowman.

I imagine Riot in the future will better hit the thematic feeling with riders and mounts in league. They did a rather great job with Kled imo

Reminds me of Kindred, you are fooled into thinking they are two characters because Wolf has his own lines, but he is more akin to Orianna's ball or Tibbers, something Lamb controls while you control her.
