"Buffs" to nunu caused his win rate to plummet

Riot believed that they were buffing nunu. These gut level nerfs really make me sad as a nunu main he's utterly terrible now due to these changes. His early game is so bad. The nerf to the slow duration is so horrible that the champion is dead.

Either riot has never played nunu, has no idea how his kit works, or doesn't realize they basically removed one third of his total CC.

"But total duration is the same!" It doesn't matter. The long duration is far more important than reapplying it.

I really would like to make some suggestions to riot as a nunu main.

  1. If you really hate nunu's early game you need to give him something really unique like slow scaling based on max hp, making his passive scale even harder off bonus health (not just bonus HP but even more scaling on it.), or dramatically buff the range on Nunu's snowball to 650 so that he gains some utility for sieges.

  2. If you don't hate his early game the nerf to damage is fine but please for the love of god revert the slow duration nerf. Heck I'd rather it be 8 second CD and 4 second slow than than 4 and 2 respectively. The long duration is absolutely critical to his early game. The CD on it doesn't matter much.

  3. Nunu's buffs from eating monsters just doesn't matter in late game. You can easily add power here and it's not a problem to his kit.

  4. Nunu's W has no scaling, give it utility scaling off AP, that way if I build banner it get's better.

  5. Please make nunu bot laugh global.

Are you talking about the 6.2 nunu changes that just went out? Because there are barely any statistics on any champion with the new patch. It really is to early to tell.

Also, from what I have remembered seeing Nunu has had an extremely bad winrate for a while now, way before the 6.2 "buff."

Nunu had 52% to 54% depending on the patch. He is now sub 40%. He was really good but these nerfs are completely unwarrented.
