How to make Nunu up to date with the current supports and keep him useful in the jungle

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOO.

So, currently Nunu is rarely/never seen in solo queue in low elo, medium elo, high elo, and never in competitive play. How can we make a very small adjustment to make him useful and bring him up to playable level either in the jungle or as a support? My main suggestion is to make a small change in his Q.

Current Effects of his Q: Consume ACTIVE: Nunu commands his yeti, Willump, to take a bite out of the target enemy minion or monster, dealing them true damage, healing himself and granting himself a bonus depending on which monster he damaged. These different bonuses stack with each other: TRUE DAMAGE: 400 / 550 / 700 / 850 / 1000 SELF-HEAL: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 75% AP) BONUS DURATION: 120 / 150 / 180 / 210 / 240 Ancient GolemSquare ELEMENTAL DELIGHT: Nunu gains 10% increased size and 10% maximum health as bonus health, also restoring health equal to the amount gained. Giant WolfSquare SPOOKY SNACKS: Killing a unit grants Nunu 15% bonus movement speed for 3 seconds. Lizard ElderSquare MYSTERY MEAT: Nunu's attacks and abilities deal 1% of his maximum health as bonus magic damage.

Now, what I am suggesting is that make his Q similar to relic shield. When you eat a minion, if your teammate is nearby, they not only gain the gold, but also gains a partial healing from the self-heal that Nunu gets from himself. Those will scale based on the level of Q that Nunu has. You can be creative by scaling the gold gain with each rank of Q as well. It'll make Nunu a strong support that can not only sustain his ADC and help him farm in the early game, but help him by boosting his utility with W and peel off enemies with his slows.

Let me know what you think about this change. I feel like it's a pretty reasonably strong change that brings Nunu up to the current supports, possibly a top tier support.

If you bring back clarity and clairvoyance you will see Nunu again. Rito make it happen.

I believe Nunu is in the top 5 candidates for the next VGU (now that Yorick is off the list and Warwick and Galio are in progress).

If I recall correctly, the list not containing those names is something like: Urgot, Eveylnn, Nunu, Singed (a fifth name wasn't available since Reav3 listed only seven and three of them are listed above).

Things as they are, I'd place Mordekaiser in there to round it off. I'd imagine he's made it there as it is.

I say that Nunu should not receive any buffs until his eventual rework, no matter how small or situational they are. There has never been a point in this game in which Nunu was strong in any role without being complete cancer.
