Riot should make Nunu's W buff him at 40% while it buffs Allies at 20%

That way, Nunu isn't hit directly (because how often does Nunu even get enough AP to make good use of it?) but his stat-boosting of allies remains delayed until they hit 600 AP instead of 300. Nunu's power levels are going to change if RIot changes his W to no longer buff him in the way it does, and he'll probably need compensation buffs elsewhere for it. Right now, Nunu's best build for being a Jungler in this meta is to go Predator + Runic into a tank build, and that's going to nerf Nunu's ability to function properly.

That seems reasonable, doesn't it? Let's not nerf Nunu too hard just because one champion is abusing him, yeah? That's not fair to Nunu.

When I play Nunu I do this very specific build path: item 1402 item 3089 item 3047 item 3742 item 3065 item 3190

dunno why but it works.

Nunu has been a flaming pile for quite some time. Thankfully his rework is due between mid august-mid september if the rework schedule is on time. They likely not impliment any significant changes to his kit before then. Surely they wont nerf him before then either.

Nerfs are already on the PBE because of the boosting strategy. Furthermore, Nunu isn't a flaming pile =(

At least nunu actually becomes meta-relevant at some points.

Nunu doesn't need nerf /s. Evident by how he can be more oppressive than Pantheon top by maxing E and taking Comet. Try it yourself, it's disgusting.

Nunu doesn't need a nerf. Who the heck are you playing top lane that gets destroyed by a Nunu maxing E with comet? There's only a very small handful of champions that don't destroy Nunu in the top lane, my man.

excuse me? I PLAY nunu top lane into melees like trynd or fiora. It's a good counterpick unless your laner is really good, like a one-trick or something.

So you agree with what I just said then...
