Nunu has been performing HORRIBLY across elos for months now. This PBE change is pathetic.

Nunu Blood Boil (W) Mana cost lowered to 35 from 50 Cooldown lowered to 10 from 15 Duration lowered to 7 from 12 Bonus movement speed now 10% at all ranks from 8/9/10/11/12%

Almost halved duration for only 1/3rd lower cooldown and less than 1/3rd lower mana cost. Is this a joke? Nunu is performing poorly across all elos, and has been for months. There are so few junglers that he can counterjungle atm and all of them outscale him hard.

Can they not just give Nunu a buff? This seems like it's 100% neutral or a nerf if anything. Gives him slightly more reliable bursts of speed but makes him scale even worse than he already did. Giving an ally 12 seconds of MS + AS was the best thing he could do.

Just keep the Cooldown and mana changes and scrap the rest. Being able to buff multiple allies at a time would make him a lot more interesting and I doubt it would even get him to a 50% winrate.

Disclaimer: Nunu's playrate is so low that his winrate is very skewed right now on certain sites. 1 player, most likely a smurf, has an 82% winrate and that makes his current data unreliable. In the past several months his winrate has been on average, lower than 50%, his play rate is extremely low because he just can't do what he's meant to do in this meta.

He needs a complete rework because he is garbage regardless of how much they buff his abilities

Gosh Darn2 votes

Definitely true, but giving him a change that is situationally a nerf to his current E is so absurdly stupid. They can afford to give him a pure buff and he still won't be a competitive pick. He's not even in line for a rework so for now I'm just trying to get him back up to a level where he's at least playable.

Its sad that Ryze gets yearly reworks but still is cancer and doesn't even need them but Nunu is pretty much the worst champ in the game

the first two days of 6.15 pbe nid changes scared me half to death. by the end everything seemed to have worked out. (i THINK, i wont get to play her again until tomorrow, to try them for myself, but i agree with what they did)

They can't buff Nunu until his toxic as hell Passive in Top Lane is replaced.

Gosh Darn2 votes

In top lane he still has a pitiful winrate. He's completely outclassed as a counter to a handful of champions (like Darius and other immobile short range champs), by Kayle, Pantheon, Teemo, and more.

Meep Man1 votes

My point. They keep his win rate low in Top Lane because if he was on equal terms, he would be an infinite sustain machine with unmissable damage and CC. It's not that he would just be killin' everyone, he would just be impossible to kill.

I don't know how to link directly to the spot, but here it is. Just go to balance changes and it's there.

I agree with you. I really like Nun but he is so hard to play as now a day as more of the time I feel like i do nothing.

(Blood boil) Duration lowered to 7 from 12 Bonus movement speed now 10% at all ranks from 8/9/10/11/12%

u wot m8? Is Riot serious?

This is like that time they gutted his Ice ball and called it a 'buff'. How about you 'buff' Yasuo , Lee and Zed like that? increase their cooldowns by 80% and reduce the energy costs by 5, BECAUSE THAT'S A BUFF, RIGHT?

Nunu is not garbage. His kit isn't good in general that no one wants to play him. He's fine right now until the rework

RogueWill1 votes

IS actually a buff for his jungle early on. He always has scaled bad so he is pretty much on the same boat as shaco. Don't let the game last too long

Meep Man2 votes

The difference between Shaco and Nunu is that Shaco can scale into the late game since at least he can split push and pull some cheesy stealth kills. Nunu offers his Ultimate for late game and that's essentially it besides his W, which is one of the worst steroids in the game.
